TONY JAA, A NEW BREED OF ACTION HERO
In every decade, world cinema has produced a new breed of martial arts action hero. In the 1970s, Hong Kong gave the world Bruce Lee, in the 1980s, it was Japan's turn with the ninja, as epitomized by Sho Kosugi, in the 1990s, American imagination revolutionized martial arts movie-making when Keanu Reeves starred in THE MATRIX . Now, the first decade of the new century has already spawned a unique superstar. He hails from Thailand, and his name is Tony Jaa and he stars in the explosive cinema event - ONG BAK!
"Not so much a film as an excuse to watch jaw dropping, eyeblinking martial acrobatics. Truly astounding." Oscar Hillerstrom, FHM
"Tony Jaa.. is the new Bruce Lee... you have to see this film. This is the MUST-SEE film of the year." Ain't It Cool.com
"A must see for any martial arts fan and possibly a must see for anyone who isn't, just to see the amazing Tony Jaa at work, or is that play?" Christina Bruce, Search, South Australia
"Tony Jaa is definitely in the same league as Bruce Lee and Jackie
Chan. ONG BAK is an incredible showcase of martial arts that won't have
you saying 'I've seen it all before'." Grok
