Great Martial arts film
Finally caught this yesterday. Can't say I've heard of the character before but the trailer looked good. The fights are great, some of the best martial arts I've seen in a long while, the bus fight was cool. Some fights reminded me of the style used in @Hero (2004) There are many cool characters and creatures that appear in this leading up to a big battle at the end. Along with plenty of humour along the way this is a fun film.

"Ong Bak 1 is a very important and personal movie for me. It combined many types of martial arts and it’s the movie that introduced the world to Tony Jaa and Muay Thai. I’m extremely proud of this movie."

There are a lot of mixed feelings about this movie but I really, really enjoyed it. The only thing I would have liked to see more of was real fighting like the martial arts-inspired duels from episodes 1-3.

Not a bad martial arts film, although it only has a few big fights in it. Who knows how accurate it is to what actually happened. Apparently a lot of details were quite different. At least the fights are good.

Campy 80's fun.
It's a classic without being great. Campy, 80'd action film with some humor and martial arts. worthy of watching if you've never seen it, but don't expect too much. And of course another great alternate movie poster

Warriors meets Big trouble in little China
The most bizarre film I have seen in ages! A sort of martial arts-musical! It has some great fights and it's very funny. A must see to be believed film.

Easy-going martial arts Jackie Chan/Owen Wilson (and Lucy Liu) film, with Chan portraying the party of a Chinese Forbidden City Imperial Guard soldier who travels to the Wild West of America to rescue the kidnapped Princess Pei Pei (Lucy Liu), and falls in with outlaw Roy O'Bannon (Wilson) along the way.

As a Jackie Chan film, you pretty much know what to expect: lots of martial arts slapstick in his own inimitable style (and pidgin English, which is still a lot better than my non-existent Chinese!) and a few 'that's a terrible name for a cowboy' puns along the way!
