That is the coolest scene in the movie.
But the part where he first busts out his knees on an unsuspecting dude is pretty cool too.
Whoever edited that did a great job to make it all look like one shot.
How do you know it isn't?
It is. And it's awesome. The whole movie is awesome. I had never been in a theater full of so many people getting into the movie. Everyone was going nuts.Quote:

Great movie.
And Muay Thai is fucking brutal.
Real Muay Thai is pretty ugly, but no less brutal. My roommate and I used to go to a Muay Thai gym here and though there were no Tiger Uppercuts or crazy Tony Jaa shit, but training there was an absolutely awesome time. When the weather is better and I can run without dying, I should go back. The instructors were awesome.Quote:

I will have to see this film now.
Tony Jaa is a great addition to the martial arts film world. Muay Thai is an excellent style. Out of curiosity Grave, where did you go train before? Since you are in Boston my first thought would be Somerville at Sityodtong.
Yep! Great place. Kru Mark is the man.Quote:

Pretty damn slow, but considering he did all that shit in one take is a testament to his stamina.
Is Tom enjoying it?Quote:

Im serious. Those dude's arms and legs were fucking broken. None of that Hollywood magic shit. Just bone fracturing fun.
Its actually kind of hard to watch.
Alright, I'll say it. Old as hell.
But it sounded so much more exciting the way he said it. :pQuote:

I really miss it, but my class schedule means I'd only be able to train one day a week. After graduation, I really need to go back. :(
at 2:23 time remaining looks like a likely place to cut and regroup.Quote:

This movie was fucking terrible, cool scene but it's an awful movie; the whole thing is about getting back a god damn elephant.
I don't know if he's being serious, but if he is he's wrong. The bone breaking stuff is obviously fake. Although I wouldn't be surprised to find out there were some bones broken filming some of the crazy ass stunts in the movie.Quote:

Ong Bak was like his fourth or fifth movie.
Sorry, it was his "breakout" filmQuote:
