    i did like ong bak but there was something about the movie that really didn't amaze me. once was enought. but i can watch the old classics over and over. -----snake in the eagles shadow, shaolin excecutioners, north shaolin vs south shoulin and any of the five venoms are just a few.

    Tom Yum Goong

    it's the name of the restaurant that serves as a cover for the illegal operations in the movie.. details are at the movie's website http://www.tomyumgoongmovie.com

    the plot seems a little cliche, but i'm sure the action will be bad ass (who watches these movies for good dialogue and character development anyways?)

    Thumbs up

    yeah....this looks like it's gonna be friggin hot.....that kick to the street lamp in the trailer sold it for me....i mean, the elephant plot sounds like it could be interesting, but what i really want is to see Tony Jaa beat mofo's down.

    Tony Jaa's new film ( Tom - Yum - Goong )....

    If any of you liked the fight scene's in ( Ong - Bak ) I'm sure you're going to like the one's in ( Tom - Yum - Goong ) Jaa take's Muay Thai to next level in my opinion. This one's a must have in my book....

    All my thai comes from restaraunt menus, so is this movie really about noodle soup?

    i enjoy tony jaa's movies but there is something about them that doesn't sit right with me. he is very talented but i can only watch his movies once or twice while as i can watch other kung fu movies over and over. good movie though

    It was okay. I thought Ong-Bak was better. I think people were trying to get this out just to commericalize his success, come on...it's about losing a freaking pet Elephant. The way he somehow ended up in fights was rediculous, had no connection sometiems at all.

    thats one thing i noticed about these movies. some of the parts of the movie are hard for western people to relate to. example elephant. in ong bak i didn't like the motorized tricycle race with the big explosion at the end of it.
