The greatest martial arts movie ive ever seen. I mean, sooo crazy cool. Crappy story, but the action just makes up for it. I thought martial art movies are all the same, Ong-Bak just reinvents the idea of martial arts in movies.
heres a little taste of the action

I love this movie!
My friend from Thai showed me this movie six months ago and even though i didnt understand whats the story was since the movie was a botleg version from thai,it was great. The guy shocked me with he how he fought.
Im hoping he becomes our new Bruce Lee and even he doesnt i will get all his movies.

Agreed. I particularly liked the fights during the main characters second visit to the fight club.
There are rumours that the main actor will do a Drunken Master III movie together with Jackie Chan.

Yeah hollywood has runied both Jacki Chan and Jet Li so i really hope he never goes there.
My fav fight was the one inte the bar where he fought the coward who used tables and everything against him.

Yeah that fight was crazy. I loved the finishing move.
I hope Danny the Dog will be different from those crappy Kung Fu / Hip Hop crossover movies Jet Li does in hollywood. It's a french production and I read some very good reviews for it.

I liked the fight with the afro guy who moved real fast. He got his ass kicked.

Then you should really see this movie.
Trog:
Is Danny Dog out yet? Is it Luc Besson work cause he is the king of french action and his Kiss of the dragon with Jet Li was good.

As far as I know the script was written by Luc Besson. The director is someone else. It's release date is 02.02.2005.
I just read that Danny the Dog was the production name. Its USA release name will be Unleashed

.
Here's a link to a frech site. In the Video section you'll find some English trailers.

Im not good with names of these movies since thier names was wack when they came to old country.
Fist of Legend i know the name, who is in the movie?

Jet Li. Fist of Legend is a remake of Bruce Lee's Chinese Connection, I think.
