Member ShaOW!linDude Posted November 1, 2011 Member Share Posted November 1, 2011 Yeah, man, I'm jonesing as bad for this as I was for "Ong Bak 2" after seeing the first trailer for it!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member chanbara Posted November 15, 2011 Member Share Posted November 15, 2011 I watched this movie over the past weekend and was blown away by it. Not only is the fighting fast and furious and amazing, but the cinematography, direction, story, and acting we're also top notch. It easily exceeded all my expectations. This being a Thai movie I knew the Thai martial arts would be well represented, but was worried the same wouldn't be true of the Japanese characters and martial arts, but they delivered in spades. The samurai and ninja scenes were fantastic. This unique action-drama film is a must see. I hope it gets a proper DVD (or better yet Blu-ray) release in North America.

Member David Rees Posted November 16, 2011 Member Share Posted November 16, 2011 It is a good film. My only criticism is the lead actor is very bland and his martial arts skill is far below the others seen in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Karlos Posted February 6, 2012 Moderator Share Posted February 6, 2012 It's a good film, but please don't go into thinking it's the next ONG BAK (even though there's a few Jaa alumni in the cast). The main Thai fighter is the character you'll come away wanting more of. Apparently, he's a real-life Muay Thai champ and he is very impressive indeed. The action towards the end is very well done but it never hits the heights I was hoping it would. I'd say, pick it up cheap when you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, in the previews, the Muay Thai guy (hey, that rhymes!) looked awesomely brutal in his fights. I wasn't really expecting another OB but something on par with it, I suppose. Doesn't matter. Won't be getting an R1 release anytime soon anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member ShaOW!linDude Posted February 7, 2012 Member Share Posted February 7, 2012 For real? I checked Amazon UK and the Blu-ray link doesn't say but the DVD states specifically that it's R2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member David Rees Posted February 7, 2012 Member Share Posted February 7, 2012 The DVD is region 2, but all Cine Asia Blu ray releases have been region free so far, so no reason as to why this should be any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member blue_skies Posted February 9, 2012 Member Share Posted February 9, 2012 The later fight sequences make widespread use of CG (for blood and fatalities) and some of this looks horribly cheap, like a tacky back-projection from several decades ago. I hope that doesn't detract from the movie too badly as it's something that does tend to irritate me the use of CGI blood, especially when it is poorly done. Since I'm currently trying to watch what I already own and not spend any more money I can't afford on DVDs, I don't think I will place any urgency on this title after that twitch review.

I noticed all the cgi blood on the new trailer, shame as it's totally not needed! I'd rather have no blood then see tons of amateur looking computer blood flying all over the place. That said if the movie is good I can overlook it, but I'll still be annoyed. Still looking forward to watching this at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Tosh Posted February 17, 2013 Member Share Posted February 17, 2013 Um, didn't they already rename Ong Bak - Muay Thai Warrior? I would have to think people would get confused thinking this is the same movie, so they rename it, I'm guessing for a more western friendly title, but the brillance of marketing just shot themselves in the foot. At least put Samurai or Japanese before it for christ sake:angel: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
