it is now on dvd, but i recommend watching ong bak. tony ja the lead actor is a muay thai kick boxer and some of the stunts he does are ridiculous. think along the lines of jackie chan, except instead of karate chops and kicks you have brutal knees and elbows.

sounds like a really gripping, intelligent and engrossing plot

oh it is a fantastic plot about trying to get the head of ong bak (religious statue) back from evil mobsters so the townspeople can celebrate their festival. it has all you could ask for and more. i never claimed it was intelligent and had a decent storyline, if you are interested in martial arts films then it is something i would recommend.

Damn can't believe Ong Bak came out recently, friend had it less than 1-2 years ago on DVD from Thailand, but haha, it seemed like the subtitles were written by a person that could not speak English, was very bad.
btw the guy was in Sydneys Darling Harbour about 5 months back.
But no Martial Arts movie could EVER top Drunken Master 2!
harry can (of course) chew my balls the sooner she finishes those insults to our intelligence the sooner the harry phenomena can die its much deserved death, and sink into historical obscurity, just like nazism.

Crouching Tiger is deffo one of my fav martial arts movies..... damn...... movies in general!
ahhh, Crouching Tiger was good but it was too fake. Drunken Master 2 is just brutal fighting and thats what i love about it. Ong Bak had more brutal fighting but the story sucked.
Whats a fighting movie without the emotion.
And i have seen tons and tons of action fighting movies, and still Drunken Master 2 remains the best, it's sheer brilliance.
