OK... I watched it. After all the hype, I was disappointed. It was pretty much like any Kung Fu movie ever made. I guess because it was Muay Thai instead of kung fu it made some people here cream their jeans.
I give it 2.5 stars.
I'd have given it the same rating if not for three things:
1: The cave fight scene was so poorly lit that it obscured a lot of the action.
2: I saw the boom mike drop into the screen WAY too often.
3: The taxi chase scene. It was boring, too long, and the AWFUL music in the background during that scene gave me a headache.
1.5 stars out of 5 and it was lucky to get that. A totally disappointing film.

I did get a chuckle out of the "too much smoochy smoochy not enough knifey knifey" comment about HoFD though.

not musa, but I saw a really weird movie that came out this week. it is 22.99 and no way I'm gonna find out how it is for that much money. I did some research, and it actually came out in 2001!!! Another great miramax release. Hopefully somebody has seen it. It says it won like 173 british film awards. If juna reads this, i'm sure he will post all of them
"For someone who's a Shaolin monk, your kung fu's really lousy!"
"What, you're dead? You die easy!"
"Hold on now. I said I would forget your doings, but I didn't promise to spare your life. Take his head."
“I don’t usually smoke this brand, but I’ll do it for you.”
"When all this is over, Tan Hai Chi, I will kick your head off and put it on my brother's grave!
"I regard hardships as part of my training. I don't need to relax."
"Warrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriorsssssssssssssss sss, come out to
playyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
"Warriorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrsssssssssssss come out to,
playyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
"Warriorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs come out to playyyyyyyyyyyyy!"
you know that gang that wears the baseball uniforms, then you've seen me. Me and five of my gang member friends are coming over to annihilate your leathre jacket gang

i'm curious if that movie is worth of penny. anybody seen it already?
nobody has seen this?
Hey people from the uk, you have to reach back in your memory banks to 2001 when it came oput, but I am still waiting for juna to post all of the awards this movie won.
Gene-
can you tell me why miramax just leaves all these movies sitting on their shelves for years and years?
And cobra, I still have a couple more rogues to interview, but it's not looking too good for you

We'll be under the big Farris wheel. YOu won't miss it, there will be 2 wino's and a guy who looks like Mike Tyson operating the Farris wheel.
Funny, even though Coney Island's amusement parks for the most part have been dead for the past 2 decades?

I rented it last week from Hollywood Video. Tony Jaa looks pretty tough. It had some funny/corny parts in it and the acting wasn't great but it had a couple of good fights. Some are more realistic than others, but the guy's technique looks solid. I will be looking for more titles from this actor, and from the general production team. I'll recommend it.
