Kham: "Where the hell is my elephant?"
On the eve of presenting a pair of prized elephants to the King of Thailand, a young martial arts expert and his father are shocked to discover that the beloved creatures were stolen by an international mafia syndicate, and now the d...( read more)
The plot is predictably typical, but the action and fight scenes are absolutely crazy!! The stunts this guy can do is amazing and well worth the watch. And it's always nice to see Nathan Jones pop up in these movies too....
A little less authentic and a little more Hollywood than Ong-Bak. Some amazing fight scenes throughout and many impressive stunts. The storyline, I felt was a little weak, however, it's definitely worth watching if you are a fan of Martial Arts.
Some great scenic shots too...( read more)
It redifines spectacular action. Incrediable fight scenes unlike anything you have seen. Stylish, cool and exhilerating. A fast-paced story that gets to the point. A wickedly entertaining and adreniline-pumping non-stop action.
Movie was a letdown in my opinion compared to Ong Bak. Fighting is amazing as usual but everything else drags. Highlight scene is Jaa verse a capoeira fighter, in my opinion emulating a live action Sagat vs. Eddy Gordo fight, which is wrenches the gut.
Matched with a better overall story, and filled to the brim with amazing stunts and action sequences, The Protector's slick, Hollywood flavor actually helps fulfill the films promise of exhilarating martial arts asskicking, making The Protector a better and more complete showcase...( read more)
I wish I could see the original version of this but unfortunately I've been given this cut down US vehicle. Plenty of snips were made (even to the actual storyline) and I don't feel like it's the way Prachya Pinkaew intended. But what's important is Tony Jaa and how much mai thai...( read more)
A tremendous step down from Ong Bak. I rate Ong Bak as a Martial Arts film very highly and I couldn't rate the Protector any lower.
This is garbage. Uninspiring fight scenes over the top nonsensical action scenes. This was boring and stupid. They also tried too hard to create a ...( read more)
This ludicrous Quentin Tarantino-chosen low-budget movie features choppy editing and an amateurish script, and it switches strangely back and forth between dubbing and subtitles. full review
Director Prachya Pinkaew, armed with a bigger budget (than Ong Bak) and facing a whole new potential audience, recycles his old plot with strategic variations, and -- big surprise -- the movie doesn't... full review
This is one wicked-ass cool movie, a last blast of summertime action insanity before the pretentious dramas of autumn arrive. full review
The Protector isn't a sequel to Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior but it is a thinly disguised retread. full review
he is not jackie... he is tony jaa actually...
try to watch all his movie lik ong bak or ong bak 2...
he is really KICK ASS!!!
Yea it looked a whole lot like jakie chan,everyone was like Hey its Jakie Chan..I was like, is it really? Tony Jaa even looks a little like Jakie. It would be cool to see them both in the same movie, and go head to head.Although Jakie's movies always have comedy and this movie was very serious. Tony Jaa's martial art skill is excellent,but to become a movie star he needs more acting experience.Time will tell.
Woo Jackie Chan Cameo, Best Bit In The Whole Film Is The Bone Breaking Bit At The End, Just Watch For That, Its Pure Amazing
Yes return of Nathan Jones,the large Australian Man from World Wrestling Entertainment in 2003. He was also in the movie Troy,in the very beginning scene. He looks like a younger, stronger Kevin Nash. He plays the guy that comes out when the building is on fire, and then has an extended scene near the end of the film.His presence is awesome.
anybody dat watched wrestling ? remember nathan jones ? he's in this movie somewher
i hav seen it half a year ago, it's not as good as the first ong bak thou, story kinda doesnt make sense
