The Microchip

They're trying to bill Simon Kook as the new Tony Jaa. Of course, as it's a Thai flick, looks like there's a katooie :rolleyes:

I'm still trying to get past the name Simon Kook.

What is it with Thai action stars having their hair covering their faces all the time? After I saw Ong Bak 2, (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?p=912719) I tried wearing my hair like that (thought it might help cover my receding hairline). It drove me nuts.

Looks like it could be interesting. I'm also a bit perplexed by the name. Is it a screen name only? I can imagine an American trailer for it with the low-voiced guy who does the voice-overs on all the movie trailers: "You've seen Bruce Lee...Jackie Chan...Jet Li...Tony Jaa. Now, the next international superstar of the martial arts has arrived...Simon Kook!!"

I think the hair thing is supposed to give the actors a hint of "mystery," though IMO it looks kinda silly.
