| | Warrior King | |
Description
The Ong-Bak team take martial arts on film to a whole new level! Two years in
the making, the second most expensive film in Thai history and with several
seriously battered and bruised stuntmen into the bargain, Warrior King once
again is the perfect showcase for the talents of Tony Jaa.
The life of young martial arts master Kham (Tony Jaa) is turned upside down when
an international mafia syndicate, based in Australia, capture his two prize
elephants and smuggle them to Sydney. Distraught that the animals, reared as a
symbol of his devotion to the King of Thailand and due to be presented to the
monarch, have been abducted, Kham is prompted to venture into a foreign land for
the very first time.
Rescuing the animals is no mean feat. Despite the assistance of Sergeant Mark (Petchtai
Wongkamlao), a Thai police officer based in Australia, and Pla (Bongkoj
Khongmalai) a Thai girl sold into modern day slavery, Kham faces an incredible
challenge. The ruthless gang is headed by Madame Rose (Xing Jing) whose deadly
henchmen include a Vietnamese thief (Johnny Nguyen) and the hulking 7' tall
behemoth TK (Nathan Jones)...
If you think you know what to expect from the Ong-Bak triumvirate of director
Prachya Pinkaew, star Tony Jaa and stunt co-ordinator Panna Rittikrai then think
again! Plot necessarily takes a back-seat to this delirious example of extreme
Muay Thai cinema, the highlight of which must include a 4 minute(!) unbroken
fight sequence in which Kham battles his way through the four floors of the Tom
Yum Goong restaurant.
No cuts, no faked blows, no letup in the action!
