Zomg, best martial arts movie since Police Story. No CGI, no wires were used during this movie, and that is what I love. Tony Jaa is so damn great, he makes double frontflips look easy. When you watch this movie, you really can't believe it's not computer graphics, when he runs on people shoulders in order to escape or does aerial through a narrow space between windows.

The fighting is also very good and unorthodox(the style which Tony uses is Muay Boran the predecessor of Muay Thai). Looks like something you could actually use in a real fight, unlike other MA movies.

GO WATCH IT NOW (Please refrain from swearing)ES.

Pfft..I saw that movie months before it was released on American shores. It's alright -_-

I love how that guy takes people out with blows to the head. He's very efficient. Not to mention very monkey like.

He breaks spines by hitting guys with his elbow on top of their heads. Man I love that style of fighting, and when he does that aerial between the windows, damn, that's the hardest thing in the world, seriously no one is able to do it except him.

Or when he runs on top of people's shoulders.

This movie isn't as popular as it should be, so I'm spreading the love.

Have you seen "new police story" karmazon?
I've never seen any of the other police story movies, but that movie was kickass.
+ it was funny cause it involved underground gamer-nerds.

Ah lolz. Hmmm, what other movies are good... initial D was nice for a while, but the driving part is too goddamned short...

Great movie indeed.

117, Casshern sucked. Similiar to any other movies that were completely filmed in front of blue/green screens like Immortel ad vitam, Sin City (not too bad) and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

New Police Story rocks!!!! One of my favorite Jackie Chan movies. Unfortunately, there are some cheesy bits which kinda ruin the "mood?", but there's no slapstick. And when the bad guys start yelling and screaming, it sounds very forced(especially the girl, she nearly ruined the movie). But apart from that, its all good.
