2005 - THE PROTECTOR aka TOM-YUM-GOONG

The bone crunching followup  to Ong-Bak, with the star of that film Tony Jaa.  The story is about Jaa's love for an elephant (?) which takes him to Sydney, Australia after the elephant is stolen. 

Well, what can you say.  A lot of people get beaten up.  If you are a martial arts action fan I guess this film is for you.  I just found the whole thing to be rather silly.  Full credit should be given to Jaa and the stuntmen for the very violent action scenes.

 

Unbelievably it took four writers to put this screenplay together Napalee, Piyaros Thongdee, Joe Wannapin and  Kongdej Jaturanrasamee. the running time is 110 minutes.
