The protector (Tom yum goong)


Second in my Lloyd Center double feature tonight was the protector. The new Tony Jaa movie. It was exactly what i expected. fucking awesome fight scenes and a rediculous plot. Some one stole his elephants, not one but two, and took them to austrelia. So not speaking a lick of english he goes there to find them. and fights ensue, lots of them. mand mr. Jaa certianly does kick fucking ass. He fights this guy that looks like a 7 foot tall stone cold steve austin. the guy is a monster, and the fight is fucking amazing. no cuts at all for like 4 minutes. out of control. what i like about tony jaa movies (ive seen two now) is that they are alot like bruce lee movies. He respects his culture and brings alot of the flavor to the screen. The good news is that it's not nearly as boring as when bruce lee did it. you had to sit thru a lot of bruce lee crap to get to the good stuff. but when it got to the good stuff it was good. now a days people wouldn't really stand for that i don't think.

oh and did i mention that at one point a elephant get body slammed through a window. that's awesome! awesomely terrible.

over all this movie was great if you like martial arts movies if you don't, don't waste your time.
