Completely kick-ass Thai action flick, picked it up for cheap (pirated, most likely) when I was in China, over the summer.

More elbows, knees, and elbows and knees at the same time to the face of any movie I have ever seen. On top of that, you don't even have to pretend to care about the plot because the subtitles are just random english words at the bottom of the screen that make no sense whatsoever. A great example, let me retype the movie description from the back of the case:

"In the businessman that the teach county Thailand, statue of Buddha is a sacred and inviolable saint thing, however onhelping shameless howeversell the statue of Buddha for the sake of personal personal desires. Day the head of the statue of Buddha for for the sake of searching the home townrobbing, alone arrive at Bangkok, and fortune upon to eend to seindle to rare with the, and the mistake take ased the own same villiage. Pass by a unexpected obs tacles, under is with the's help, day the buildup forfor by dint of whole body effort, finally seeking returningstatue of Buddha, and will selling the statue of Buddha destroy completely, however . . ."

This is verbatim from the back. Spelling, word spacing, etc. is all the back's, not mine. Hahaha

Cliffs:

"We bought a Thai-english dictionary and translated it word by word, good luck pulling meaning from this mess."

But the action is completely hardcore awesome. I mean, hell, kicks a car door so hard the guy sitting inside come flying out the other side!! How cool is that?
 
I saw it - I think it was mentioned here a few times too - the fight choreography is just brutal . . . and the juumping dounble knee of doom that the guy does in the end to that drug-addled villian(victim?) is just horrendous!

Great movie, though - its tagline was something like "No stuntmen/no wires" - the main guy has some hops, that's for sure.

Wait, they did that with no stuntmen OR wires? My friends and I decided that at least 3 or 4 stuntmen must have died just filming the jump through that hoop of barbed wire (can I get a nomination for most ridiculous series of events ever? I think I can.).

Wow, that dude is pretty hardcore if he did all that himself, especially with no wires. Wow.

He was a stuntman by trade before he got the lead role.
 
VERY good stunts performed by the lead guy.

Very talented bunch of guys 😀

Is this the movie that has all of the guys trying to climb a tree and then falling off of it?

Yup it is. The scene where his legs were on fire and he was still kicking people @$$ was crazy! Reminded me of that one Streetfighter character that looked like Bruce Lee.

"holy crap, my legs on fire!!! Oh well, I'm badass enough it doesn't faze me. I'm gonna kick this dude in the face with my burning shin!"

so fantastic.

Damn, best scene, when the guy is in the truck, and he kicks the door so hard the guy goes flying out the other side. How cool is that?

edit. haha, I liked that scene so much I mentioned it in my OP, too. heh.
