damn it I really need to see this footage. anyways based on what got shown before ong bak 1 and his second movie tom yum goong. I wouldn't worry. The context usually adds more to teh action scenes. Tony loves long takes and wide angles so we know it's all be done by him and without any help.

Here's a link to the DVD if your interested; just remember it has no Eng. subs and it's PAL. You really don't need the subs. The story is as simple as Ong Bak and easy to follow.

I'll wait on CHOCOLATE until a subbed version comes out. I really cannot make the time to view anything without subs. My free time is so insanely limited at this point that I no longer have that luxery.

Ong Bak had no real legal version with subs for quite a long time and yet there were numerous versions with subs. May history repeat itself.

I'm not much of a Tony Jaa fan, the choreography is great from an acrobatics point of view, but the action is a bit poorly planned and not very interesting and inconsistent... I don't ask for realism, but I'd ask for some consistency.
Stunts are cool as well, but they don't have the Jackie Chan feel about them despite it looking as though that is what they are sort of going for, it feels as though they are purposefully doing as many stunts as they can and making them as tricky as possible for the sake of having a lot of stunts in there. It plays out like a demonstration more so than a fight.
The worst part about his films is akin to the Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter difficulty level back in the days when we were vigorously arguing the merits of each game. Mortal Kombat (aka Tony Jaa films) beef up difficulty by making the enemy more BS and more powerful, Street Fighter made the opponents smarter and better at reading your moves.
The last Tony Jaa movie I watched (can't recall the title - was about some elephant) he was invincible in one scene, gets beat up in another, and is invincible again... it's as if it is completely up to if he can be bothered letting others beat him up. He is pounded pertty soundly by this big monstrosity of a man, narrowly escapes and rocks up the next day to soundly defeat not only that guy he could not put a dent in the day before, but 2 others just as monstrous as the first. All this without going and seeing some wise si fu for a few years of training

The scene before this, he beats up hundreds of guys who just take turns walking into his fists! Right after being stabbed because their other punches were ineffective while he was crying and so he obviously did not notice them trying to hit him.
