Let's be reality... The acting is going to be ass but I'm this is my most anticipated fight film along with Donnie Yen's Special ID. :wow: I can't wait for them come out.

Goddamn, this movie was awful, brehs. :sadcam:

A decent copy of the movie leaked like a month ago, and the fact I hadn't heard anyone about it already made me beware when I found out. But it was even worse than I could've imagined. Forget about the plot and the acting, we all know it's trash and doesn't matter but the fights, brehs... they completely and utterly ruined the fights.

Every action scene is loaded with awful CGI, and when I say awful, I mean they had one guy doing the effects in a bootleg copy of Adobe After Effects. :why:

Remember how in the first movie all the stunts felt raw and real? Here they're all corny gimmicks, like a terrible CGI firewall that Jaa uses to jump off and kick enemies in the head with fire feet. At one point he's standing with wet shoes on a train track, and the guy he's fighting also gets his shoes wet and steps on the other side of the train tracks, so every time they punch they give off electric shocks, with lightsaber sound effects. :snoop:

The big bad is RZA and although he isn't bad, it's ridiculous how much they gotta handicap Jaa to make him seem like a legitimate threat. And by handicap I mean he's forced to hold onto his elephant's tusks (so he literally can't fight back) because RZA has rigged the tusks with bombs that go off when removed. :mindblown:

Worst of all is that the queen JeeJa Yanin is completely wasted. In every fight she gets her ass kicked, whether she's fighting a big threat or a henchman, they all beat her down. Every fight you hope she finally gets to shine like she did in Chocolate only to see her receive another ass whooping. I was sitting there wondering how the hell they could allow her to look so weak on some "Throw the damn towel!" shyt. :damn:

In the end the movie left me like :sadbron:. If it weren't for The Raid 2 I would nearly lose my faith in the martial arts genre after this abomination.

still don't give a fukk, looks dope to me, i'm just fiendin for more Tony Jaa movies i been a stan since Ong Bak

:mjpls: is there really a good copy of this on the net? like dvd quality?

Bout to check it out. Sounds like it won't compete with Raid 2 but I need a martial arts fix.

i just downloaded it, skipped through to check the quality, it's a bit dark, but watchable. the CGI looks pretty bad from the bits i saw and from what i can tell in the trailer it's almost like an Americanized remake of the first movie anyway. something happens to his elephant and he needs to go find it, they have another bike chase/fight scene. for Jaa's first movie back after so long away i think it looks pretty good even if it has been ruined by mediocre CGI he's still the only one who can really sell those hits for me.

i think they just shytted this out to get him out there again before he tries to break through the American market, i'm sure i saw pics of him on the set of Fast & Furious 7 or whatever number they're up to. they're obviously focused on Raid 2 because that looks shytloads better just from the trailer.

I dl-ed and skimmed thru it twice a few weeks ago. Yeah, it's fairly decent and Marrese Crump (#2, bout the best thing about the movie tbh) is looking quite dope in it
, though after their first fight, they made their next bouts too 1-sided for Jaa. And yeah, the cgi was terrible and RZA is 5xs worse than the CGI. If you thought RZA couldn't get any worse than Man with the Iron Fist and for some foolish reason, bet your own life on that...you would surely lose that bet and your soul my friends. Most folks stop digging after they hear the metal clank, but RZA somehow dug MUCH deeper in the crates beneath the utter depths of hell to produce the absolute worst fukking acting ever here. And I thought this nikka actually has been doing some legit chop-socky over the years? fukking Dolemite had better kung fu.:snoop:

:upsetfavre:You are aware that those aren't even remotely the same people right? They not the same fight/stunt team, martial art, director, actors, not even the same nationalities.

Just saw this movie. Raid 2 wins without even having to see it. The highlight of the movie was Rza telling that old man to shut his blind ass up and then Rza's minion in the same scene screaming like a retarded Arnold Swartzneggar and getting knocked out with one hit.
