Kickass KUNG FU

If you guys are anything like me, with parents who raised her with old Chinese classics, or just love awesome physical feats, check out this incredible Thai movie, Ong-Bak. It was painful listening to a language pretty much like Vietnamese (as in very shrill, high, whining tones that are as far from musical as linguistics can get), but the director. Man, the shots are INCREDIBLE. There's the inevitable slow-mo, but the main actor? He's the Thai version of Jet Li and Jacki Chan. He's the REAL DEAL. If you have access to a projector, try to rent this and watch it on as big as a screen as you can. I watched one of the most intense fight scenes where the hero and his skeezy side kick of a friend are chased through the streets by thugs on a lecture hall sized screen for my film history class and it was BREATH TAKING.

That's one of Daniel's fav movies. The guy specializes in maneuvers the make use of the pointiest part of the body to injure opponents. Like using his elbows.
