Tom Yum Goon

I have seen many martial arts movies but none as hard as this one. Its all disguised as an action movie but it's realy is: Tony Jaa goes 100+ Muay Thai matches and wins by K.O. in the first seconds of every match.

Instead of the nice Jackie Chan like flow of Ong Bak, this movie has long series of knock outs with acrobatics merely as a means to the neutralisation of yet another fighter, than part of the actual stunt. The genre progresses, this is a cornerstone of contemporary martial arts movies.

One could also say that its the perfect render of the most ultimate fighting game since Doubble Dragon.

Watch out: this movie is also featuring a ten minute bone-crackathlon, might be too much for testosterone filled teenagers.
