Ong Bak


This one came outta nowhere and went straight to the top. Not a kung fu movie but more like a Muay Thai fighting movie.

Its about a earnest villager Ting (Panom Yeerum AKA Tony Jaa) who arrives in Bangkok looking to find the head of "Ong Bak," a Buddha statue from his local village that was desecrated by unknown villains.

Lead actor Tony Jaa Panom debuts and makes his way into the martial arts world with a blast - high tension thai boxing with spectacular martial arts fighting, som say they havent seen this kinda martial arts action since the early days of Jackie Chan.

Dragon Tiger Gate
(Long Hu Men)

Our first entrance including DOnnie Yen, the great martial artist that has done many battles with Jet Li. etc.

Here comes a new movie, actually a remake based on the popular series in Hong Kong during the 70's.

History taken from YesAsia;

'The Gate of Dragon and Tiger, created by media magnate Tony Wong Yuk-long in the 1970s, was a milestone in the history of Hong Kong comics. More than one generation of Chinese youngsters have been mesmerized by its tales of heroism and heart-pounding martial arts scenes. Inspired by the basic human values that the series upholds, the film revisits a bygone era, where back street boys can fight for justice in the community. While the spectacular action will appeal to Chinese and international audiences, the film is also an attempt to rekindle the passion and vitality lost in a mercenary and morally ambiguous society. '

Made by Wilson YIP Wai Shun, wich is one of the most sought after filmmakers in Hong Kong. Looking forward to this one, judging by Donnie Yen's skills and the people behind this release, this will be a winner.
