Just watched Ong-Bak 2, I liked it. Tony Jaa does some great fight scenes, mixes up styles and uses alot of different weapons. Takes place 1400s as I remember. There are also some character from many other cultures, like middle east (maybe turk?), Chinese, Japanese, there was one guy fought a kinda Africian ? style that was real cool. I watched it dubbed, next time will be with subtitles. Don't watch if you want a deep plot, watch from the action. Why I went with the dubbed version so I could concentrate on the fights. Doesn't have alot of the wild Jackie Chan style case scenes like his other films. There was some great Apsara dance scenes. Most of the stuff in the movie was a mix of Siam / Khmer. I wouldn't be able to point out, though their cultures were close. I would guess the movie was more Khmer the Siam, but could be wrong. I thought I read that Tony Jaa was of Khmer decent, so maybe I'm right. If some knows more, I defiantly appreciate to be enlighten. Now I just gotta wait for Jeeja's film I also watched Chun Li movie. Nothing to rush out and see. Kristin Kreuk is gorgeous though Moon Bloodgood was in it also, pretty hot also. That's pretty much the only reason to watch the movie, but then not bad reason too. I've always found mixed women to be so much more attractive, because they have more exotic and unique looks.

Thanks for the heads-up. There is going to be a blizzard in my area this weekend and I should have hit the stories for any of these titles. They seem very interesting. I was curious about that Chun Li movie when I first saw the pics. I like Ming-Na's Chun Li from the old '94 Streetfighter movie.
