ONG BAK director has a new flick called CHOCOLATE! Twitch has the arse-kicking trailer!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Now what sells me with this below trailer is how they include... in the damn trailer... the near death "stunts gone wrong" moments usually reserved for the very end of the picture, while the credits roll and your paying audience winces and gasps.
Fuck that, said ONG BAK and THE PROTECTOR director Prachya Pinkaew. That shit is going righ into the damn trailer! Looks like a nice follow-up. I hope I like Pinkaew's new flick as much as I did his previous two and that Tony Jaa's absence won't be missed.
Thanks to the good folks at TWITCH for getting this up for us! Enjoy!

this is the second day in a row I've gotten this... if I did indeed get it.
-
thats got me twitching
-
Fuckin' ay!
That looks very cool.
I love asian movies for their extreme lengths and graphic nature but that looks hardcore.
I'm really interested in that little dogma-esque bit with the fisheye lens in black and white.
Let me sum it up. I just got out of bed and that just woke me up in eight seconds. I'm watching this fucking movie when it's out! -
The girl catching a fly in her mouth caught me off guard. Def gonna check it out
-
IMDB it. It may be ANG BOK in the states.
-
Knew it was something like that!
Fair play to ya! -
Rob Schneider is....Chocolate!
And he's about to find out that being chocolate is not all it's cracked up to be. Rated pg13. -
Or Warrior King, as it was known over here - possibly one of the worst kick-flicks I've sat through in recent years. Fuckin' amateur hour all round, apart from Jaa. This chick looks hot, though. She can footplant my face any time.
-
Remakes suck!
-
Thats got to be a first? Sure enough, outakes are usually shown at the end of many martial arts films but his is an interesting spin on the marketing. One train of thought in this is perhaps to show the audience what the actors had to go through to make this so go see it and not make them waste their frakn time. Another train of thought is to market this towards the sickos who want to see real accidents happen or to fans of Jackass the movie.
-
Well I'll see it if she gets naked...
-
Aside from his stunts and skills Ong-Bak and Tom Yum Goong/ Protector were terrible terrible films.
-
That gave me the cringes. These guys and girls are nuts!
-
Nah. The reason those movies were good wasn't because they had a guy doing things most of us had never seen before. It was because the director knew how to get those elephants where they needed to be.
-
Ong Bak worked as a whole, not merely as a stunt showcase, stop trying to knock it, you can't.
-
Looks good and nutty. Like a snickers. mmmm snickers.
-
Isn't that the sheep call from 'Babe'! Haha, aside from that, looks sweet, loving the high head kick she gives that guy when he's on the table. Also, the outtakes included are great, shows that these guys are actually throwing their all into it. Sweet, will be checking it out.
-
was one of the repetitive movies i have ever had to sit through. Depsite the scene where Ja is being chased through a street running, jumping and leaping and dodging hazards along the way, the rest of the movie is utter repition.

I knew chocolate could make you hyper, but this is ridiculous

-
after watching Tony Jaa. Too skinny and slow. Tony would smoke her.
-
that was a piece of crap except for the stunts (especially the long take going up the stairs!). it felt like it was edited together at random. i felt like things were either missing or they forgot to shoot certain key moments that would hold the paper-thin plot together. hopefully, this is an improvement.
-
This trailer looks fun but Abe "At Home Dad" Hiroshi being the last boss makes it a must see for me.
-
You're right, Flipao. Ong Bak is a flawless movie. I don't know what I was thinking. There's obviously a reason AFI named it one of the 100 greatest films of all time. Number 12, I believe.
-
Somebody get a producer on the horn. Quick.
-
... for a while?
-
She kicks ass. Great to see action scenes where you can tell exactly whats going on. Ong Bak was actually crap but the fight choreography was jaw-dropping. looks like much the same here. Still be more fun than another identikit shaky cam hollywood actioner hough.
-
the pieces of shit this guys has made before, and that is including Ong Bak (which would be nice if they told you it is called: Evening in the circus, but is not a movie), this does not look to bad. do they have to almost kille people to do it, though?
-
Thank you so much for bitching about Harry's Superman Returns review in this TB. Your analysis is insightful and touching. Your have inspired me to respond. You comment "By the way, I never understood how a little shard of Kryptonite could almost kill Superman, but, two scenes later, the guy could carry a whole island of it into outspace." Just relate it to your own life. You were able to cary that HUGE bag of 12 inch Mister Fister Dildos all the way home from the store, but just getting 2 of them in your ass REALLY hurt youIn a sexy, exciting kind of way of course). But you were able to persevere and keep doing it all night long! So see, you're just like Supes. Two amazing men who can overcome impossible challenges while wearing tights. Hope this helps!
-
It's not on the director's IMDb list, the actress's name isn't listed. I want to know more dammit!
-
how you guys expect a muai thai flick to be something besides simply spectacle. youre trying to qualify ong bak as a good or bad movie? it had great fights and thats all anyone should have expected from it. that makes it pretty great, in my opinion.

Tim Burton to direct Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows
by orionsangels
No not really, but he'd be perfect and what a way for the series to go out with a bang.
-
Tony Jaa's presence isn't missed.
-
...when "E.T." was scripted, it was originally M&m's that Elliot left for little, lost E.T. to follow him. The head honcho at product placement scoffed at the idea; "M&M's in a science-fiction picture? I think not!" So, they went to Reese's, gots zee Pieces and the rest is history. The M&M executive performs his tasks now as a night manager at a bowling alley.
-
FUCKING cool news. A martial arts movie with GREAT choreography AND action you can actually follow, shot from interesting angles and without shaky cam?
And what could be an innovative interesting plotline to boot?
Fucking sign me up, I've been waiting for a movie like this for like six years. Ong Bak had cool moves but it wasn't fluid. It was just stunt shot after stunt shot. Jaa stands on his mark, does his move. Cut. Next scene. Bad guy stands on his mark, Jaa stands on his, proceed with cool move, cut. The fight choroegraphy sucked. And the plot really sucked. Jaa is pwn though. -
*roll*
-
Ong Bak rocked, but Tom Yun Goong sucked royally. Hitting Tony Jaa with flourescent lightbulbs while on roller blades was perhaps the lamest thing I'd ever seen in a movie.
-
Will she take her shirt off too? Anyway that scene where she kicks those three guys down or the one into a pipe has me sold!
-
I hear and feel your pain. I told Bryan Singer, on a warm night in LA, that Superman Returns was the biggest waste of opportunity ever. And how could he, the man that gave us Usual Suspects, and X-Men, screw up what could have been a wonderful film. He proceeded to take three dildos, as mentioned by Kingdaddy, and shove them in my mouth, before bending me over and telling me: "I'm going to fuck you like I fucked up Superman."
Jeesh, I'm still not walking right.
Oh and Chocolate - it's not going to end world poverty with its take on the human condition, but it sure is going to kick arse!! Ouch...can't say 'arse' without thinking of Singer...ooh -
for taking the time to read my TB McFly. I know it was hard for you to take time out of your busy schedule of posting the same off topic mental turd on various talkbacks. And by the way, I wasn't defending any Superman plot points, nor Harry's review. I was just holding a magnifying glass to your "Helmet-wearing-indoors-lives-in-parents-basement-hasn't-had-a-pussy-since-a-pussy-had-him-inane-ramblings...Have a Christlike day!!!
-
You are one funny man.
-
if he tried to molest her.
-
i would love to see kingdaddy and mcfly have a punch up...could we some how arrange this? They could wear official aint it cool news fighting gear...come on harry lets do it and put it on espn!!
-
The Protector was about elephants, yet Ong Bak managed to be ten times goofier. And what was with after every single move Jaa made, they fucking did an instant replay three times! The Protector had much better stunts and locations. You're an idiot if you can't see that.
-
Man, that made me laugh!
-
who IS that girl? she is fucking dy-no-mite!
-
That staircase scene MIGHT be the best action sequence ever. Even beating out the HEAT bank robbery scene due to the Protector scene being shot without cuts.
-
I hate also in Ong Bak how we'd have to see a stunt maybe two or three times over again. Oh look he jumped through a ring of barbwire. Lets watch it from different angles, lets not. Took me out of the movie. The Protector on the other hand is a classic. Best martial arts, stunts ever in a movie! I can't say enough about it! Starts off a little slow and deceiving, the whole jungle elephant setting and may throw some people off, but stick with it. It pays off big time. What other movie has a man pick up a baby elephant and throw it?
-
... Pussy Juice. CCPJ. Word.
-
...to feature the hero strapping giant elephant tusks to his forearms before the climactic fight scene. Imagine how much easier Rocky could've taken down Apollo Creed if he'd thought of that.
-
The Lead character is Nicharee “Jeeja” Vismistananda
(try saying that 3 times in a row)
Vismistananda has been training under the personal guidance of Jaa’s mentor and fight choreographer Panna Rittikrai for years in preparation for this role Heres a link to the OneSheet
h**p://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b294/FattyAcidTrip/1FattyAcidTripjpg
she plays an autistic girl who goes on a mission to collect debts to save her ill mother, a course of action that puts her on a collision course with gangs of both the local Thai mafia and japanese yakuza
Oh yeah, the movie is also going to be done like Ong-Bak with no strings or effects for the fights.
After a meeting with some of the stunt team, i nearly shit my pants when i heard about this project.
Now its finally got a release date of July 7th 2008. -
h**p://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b294/FattyAcidTrip/1199525531904.jpg
Fucked up the link to the oneSheet, here it is again ^ -
i love the little face off jaa and jackie have in the airport...nice little tutch..no fighting just mutual respect shown to each other...or even a symbolic way of handing over the mantle to Jaa from the chan master
-
Nuff said
-
if you thought that was Jackie I'm sorry, it was a impersonator.
-
I love that the trailer is entirely in Thai with no subtitles, including the transition graphics, so as I'm trying to figure out what's going on, suddenly the trailer switches over to ass-kicking mode and this chick goes apeshit on some dudes' asses for two minutes straight. Damn that was cool. Loved the sliding on her knees underneath the glass coffee table trick. If this movie is half as much fun in its ass-kickery as Ong Bak and The Protector, then I'll be a happy camper.
-
The chick isn't even half as cool as he was. BTW what the hell happened to Jaa anyway?
-
Moves more like a dancer though and I don't think she's worth running out to see. Someone should put Jaa in some HK films. Maybe with Donnie Yen.
-
That's just nasty.
-
. . . and don't get in her fucking way when there's a sale at the Gap.
-
That biker gang that was infultrated by an undercoiver agent. Make a good yarn.
-
Is Harry on the Jared diet? What's w the Subway ads?
-
Must be the chauvinist in me. :|
-
At least it's more exciting than watching Rain Man count cards at a casino.
-
River Tam, leading the way for bug-swallowing chicks that kick ass everywhere...
-
This is going to be good. Mainly because all of this guy's movies seem to be 'how close to death can I bring my stunt team'...Also, Ong Bak was very Thai...it wasn't bad. The Protector was like one of those Jackie Chan flicks your friend made you watch before he hit it big in the US with Cannonball Run...and it's like.. WOW! That guy is a bad ass...but what the hell is this movie even about? This looks good. I'll try to own it on DVD...But where's Jaa!?
-
OngBak was great. I can understand people trashing Tom Yum Goong but Ongbak had more than just amazing fight scenes. The plot was simple but definitely entertaining and Hum Lae and his sister were just hilarious so that made it funny and the movie just had this genuine quality that reminded alot of Rumble in the Bronx. Plus it had Tony Jaa. I just don't understand why people knock that film.
-
Really nice trailer! I hope that they don't waste too much time on explaining the childhood of the lead character and instead focus on those awesome martial arts scenes!
-
I need to see more movies like this coming out. The days of Jackie Chan and Jet Li are quickly fading.
-
More chop-suey action - now THIS is real movie-making, and I'm glad this wonderful, thoughtful & intelligent site is here to bring us these tasty morsels.
yeah, right. -
Where do they find these people?
-
blind girl can feel different coloured m&mscan grab an object flying at her, and learns kung fu from watching bruce lee movies?i creamed my pants!!
-
saying "over her" is crass.did you hear about the chinese religious tolerance sports festival and music showcase being funded by andrew long and dr ringo lam fong?its called the long/fong hong kong falun gong ping pong singsong.
-
...the reasoning behind putting the "stunts gone wrong" scenes in the trailer.
-
And that was a horrible trailer btw.
-
Ooh. Melodrama. Implausible fight scenes. Plinky-plink music. Even if I haven't seen this one before, I've seen it before. And it sucked.
-
Yuck. The Stunts Gone Wrong junk right the trailer was both saavy and gross.
-
Anything this team puts out I will gladly see, even the junky cheese like Dynamite Warrior. Thai action movies + Muay Thai = joy.
-
Do all Asian moves have to have martial arts to be intriguing? Hmmmm. I still love the trailer.
-
GIVE ME BACK MY ELEPHANT!
-
The only Thai I know is from my local Thai takeaway - mmm, tasty spice. No idea what's going on but looks super cool, I'll try and catch it in some London flea pit like I did with Ong Bak. Always good to see a fellow femme slapping down some blokes. Also, can anyone enlighten me - is it Muay Thai she's doing, or something else? I couldn't see any of the distinctive knees 'n' elbows, but what do I know?
-
Meh!
