Member ShaOW!linDude Posted September 18, 2012 Member Share Posted September 18, 2012 I think the idea is for it to seem as though Jaa is sticking his elbow or knee in your face. I can visualize that on my own, thank you very much. 3D = Dumb! Dumb! Dumb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Tosh Posted September 18, 2012 Member Share Posted September 18, 2012 Well 3d was just a passing fad - again, I remember the 3d in the theater in the 80's, with the red-green glasses which always gave me a massive fucking headache even at a young age, I even remember them handing out 3d glasses at some convenience stores for tv. Surprisingly the technology really isn't much better then what it was 30 years ago(except the glasses, but I can still only take about 45 minutes of it). Hollywad is already tiring of it and Thai cinema is coming 8-10 years behind the curb. 3d's never really worked for action, it's better suited for documentaries, and sci-fi - space related movies imo. It's really a shame as Jaa doesn't need it, though who knows maybe they'll find a way to have Jaa flying out into the audience. Hoping they can get their shit together on this one, I still think Ong Bak is the best "all around" movie these guys have made, not that the other ones haven't been entertaining(especially OB2), but I'm hoping for a well rounded out movie.

Member daisho2004 Posted September 18, 2012 Member Share Posted September 18, 2012 It seems like every single movie coming out is in 3D and honestly there isn't really anything different about watching these movies in 3D compared to a regular viewing except the price of admission!

Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted September 22, 2012 Moderator Share Posted September 22, 2012 3D or not, these guys are doing a pretty good job of keeping the movie 100% under wraps, especially considering how long it's been in production for, reports and footage have been minimal at best. I was more interested at how reduced Jeeja Yanin's role is now that she's heavily pregnant than the 3D, but could find hardly any information on the net, guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Member AlbertV Posted December 12, 2012 Member Share Posted December 12, 2012 Any update here? I know it was supposed to have a 2012 release date and now moved to mid-2013.

Member AlbertV Posted December 13, 2012 Member Share Posted December 13, 2012 Which is the official one? I didnt read the whole article right...Major Cineplex Group posted the release date and Twitch even posted the release date with a new poster.Twitch has been very reliable when it comes to their information.

Member ShaOW!linDude Posted December 17, 2012 Member Share Posted December 17, 2012 DADGUMMIT! Apparently Panna is resorting to wires and CGI to enhance some 3D aspects, even the fighting. http://twitchfilm.com/2012/12/tom-yum-goong-2-marks-the-end-of-the-no-wire-no-cgi-era-for-tony-jaa.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Chinatown Kid Posted December 18, 2012 Member Share Posted December 18, 2012 As good as Jaa is he doesn't need wires or CGI to spice things up, they will detract imo. Same with the 3D.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah unless it's a fantasy film which it isn't I don't understand the cgi/wire work in a Jaa film... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Tosh Posted March 15, 2013 Member Share Posted March 15, 2013 Why does it take the Thais forever to make a movie? Even then it's usually an edited mess. C'mon! Shaw actors were pumping out 5-6 movies a year back in the day:angel: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member The Amazing Psycho Per Posted March 16, 2013 Member Share Posted March 16, 2013 Like the Ong Bak sequels fiasco, (although I love Ong Bak 2) this is again getting ridiculously long... Is making movies something they do in their spare time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member helios Posted March 22, 2013 Member Share Posted March 22, 2013 Lol, DECEMBER?! Man, I've lost hope in this movie. The 3D and talks of wire doesn't help, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted March 22, 2013 Member Share Posted March 22, 2013 You'd think they would be making better movies when it takes them longer than Wong Kar Wai to crank out a flick. Don't know why it takes so long to make films with almost no story, a fat funny sidekick and fifty high kicks to the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member andy338 Posted March 22, 2013 Member Share Posted March 22, 2013 I was excited when it was first announced. Now, I couldn't give a shit. Sums up my thoughts exactly. Like many I thought that Tony Jaa would be the next big martial arts superstar but it's been 10 years now since Ong Bak and he's never really capitalised on the success from that. It really is puzzling why it takes them so long to make a movie particularly as the end result often looks like it's been put together in about a week.

Watch this movie suck too. Well I guess now its Iko Uwais's turn to shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted March 23, 2013 Member Share Posted March 23, 2013 Tony had his chance and blew it. I always felt kinda bad saying this out loud, but it is unfortunately true. Unless his aspiration was not to be the big new asian action star, though I suspect it was. But somewhere he got lost. Hope Iko does more with his chance.

I do feel bad for saying that but at least I will always have the end fight in Ong Bak 2. I consider that fight a masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
