Featured review
The movie is wonderful, to the point and did not mess-up up with too much story and dialogs.
The movie shows tony ja's wish to cover the major martial art skills such as Chinese kung fu, Japanese Samurai, Ninja, Muay Thai, Drunken kungfu etc.,
The fight sequences are brilliant, rough and the art of Drunken fighting is shown perfectly as you will see the real essence unlike that of older movies which have portrayed it as a funny martial art. tony ja's love for elephants is obvious(Thailand's national animal).
overall 9/10 (-1 if there is no sequel) one can obviously see that even though the movie is tony ja's first direction it is very maturely taken and it's sure that it makes you feel like there should be some more at the end but The movie is unfinished as tony and the producers had some unknown clashes behind the scenes.
Yet the movie is full of brilliant fights and you will surely be satisfied while expecting for a sequel.

- TriviaThe Cambodia scenes had to be cut out from the original version due to recent clashes between Cambodia and Thailand over the Preah Vihear temple.
- Alternate versionsAs with Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior (2003), a shorter cut was supervised by French filmmaker Luc Besson, which removes about ten minutes of the film. This version was released in some countries, such as France, and is available on the US blu-ray alongside the original cut.
