Re: Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior
If you like this sort of thing, which I do, its incredibly [censored] amazing, and the people who made it, know that---they'll do slow-mo triple cuts of hot moves, because, of course, thats what we are watching it for.
Of course, its also riddled with classic Thai chauvinism---to the point of being funny. First the simple villager has to beat up a series of foreigners (representing American service men, Australian tourists, foreign criminals, etc), but in the end the big battle is predicated on kicking a Burmese guys ass. (For those who don't know, Thai history is a long story of getting their asses handed to them by various Burmese monarchs).
Awesome flick.
