Advantages: Some of the most amazing martial arts scenes ever filmed
Disadvantages: tony jaa only speaks in tai

...and in all honesty if tony spoke in english he would be able to pull of a better story line to go with his filmes and it would give the audience more time to watch the film and praise tony jaa but instead we spend most of our time reading the subtitles. All in all the box set is a definate must buy for any martial arts fan and anyone who just wants a thrill ride. ... Read review

Advantages: Incredible fight scenes

Advantages: Tony Jaa doing what he does best
Disadvantages: Not for people who dont like foreign films

...of the FILM ONLY. Warrior King is the 2005 martial arts epic starring Tony Jaa, following his previous success in Ong Bak.

...to Sydney, Australia. Kham then head's to Sydney on a search for his elephants, where he meets up with his cousin Sgt. Mark (played by Thai comic and star of Ong Bak, Petchtai Wongkamlao) and much martial arts action follows.

I was fascinated by the way the fights were filmed, by the play of colours and textures and by the way the producers/directors managed to create a complex ... Read review

Advantages: Inspirational- easy watching
Disadvantages: cheesy- simple plot- but effective

Well where do I start with this film? This is one of those inspirational films like Karate kid that makes you want to get off the sofa and take up kickboxing or other martial arts or learn the splits. This film has a real basic but predictable story line - without ruining it too much you can guess the ending within the first ten minutes. The plot wait for it, if you don't want to see stop reading now; Is revenge- Vamme Dam's (Kurt Sloanne) brother ...
...but doesn't have the necessary skills so learns from a master and of course there's the love interest too.. This is basically an easy watching adult version of Karate Kid. Would recommend this especially as it's a classic in the true sense and so easy watching and somewhat inspirational and touching. Very cheap price and certainly worth it ... Read review
