Who's seeing it? Anyone follow Tony Jaa's work?

***-kickings were at a reportedly all-time high at the box office during the reign of his last film, Ong Bak. Bring your hollowed-out human skulls filled with popcorn for this one.

Holy ****. That's totally awesome and badass to the max.

The jump off the building at the end looked pretty damn real (convincing).

Looks good.

That guy is so bad, he'd probably travel to America punch teenagers in the face who refuse to see it.

Ive been following his work for a little while now. I was contemplating buying a copy of this off of a import site before they announced it was coming to the US. Ongbak was awesome btw! Really looking forward to this. His Thai fighting style is so cool, such a depart from what Im so used to seeing from Bruce Lee,Jackie Chan,Jet Li, etc.

Saw this a couple of months ago on VCD and let me tell you, I didn't think it was possible for Ong Bak to be outdone. But it achieves it in spades, can't wait to see this on the big screen. Seriously folks this guy is the next big martial arts/action star, pay to see him. Tom yum goong is the original title for those interested in looking for it.

But he's so badass he doesn't need to be choosy with names. He'd just punch you in the face for arguing.

So, is this guy going to be the next Jet Li or something? Sorry but I've never seen him before today.(at least I don't THINK I have..you know, all us asians look alike.) :P

Anyway, looks like a really good movie to see. ^_^

I'm pretty sure that not even Jet Li can punch people in the face as hard as that badass can.

I'll go to see it but on the 25th I'll be in leeds all day, so I won't be able to see it then.

Jaa's Wiki page is an interesting read.
