I was prepared for some ass kickin', but for some reason the trailer was playing really slow for me. Like it was in slow motion. Again. Just like all the other 'ass kicking' trailers out there at the moment. Didn't do much ass kickin' from here.
'like it was in slow motion'? by fokke	Apr 14th, 2005 06:17:09 AM
It was in slow motion! And therefore it's not a cool trailer. It's got this whole 'been there seen that' thing going on. Please, to all trailerdirectors out there, No More Slow Motion in Trailers! Thank you very much in advance.

Sounds like Chinese takeaway. "Two Tom Yum Goong" to go please."
So, his superpower is to move in slow-motion? by Cymbol	Apr 14th, 2005 06:40:56 AM
He certainly has the physical talent to become a martial artist with his own name. Very few martial artist become "A-List" action stars. However, they need to stop having everything he does in slow mo! Sheeeeesh!! What if we saw every leap and jump Jackie Chan did in slow mo. It would get damn boring. We can still understand the complexity of the most movements without being beaten over the head with it. Martial Arts + Slow Mo = Use Sparingly!!
I agree about the trailer being lacking because of too much slow by Rogue_Leader	Apr 14th, 2005 06:43:10 AM
I am dying to see this. Ong Bak was the best thing to happen to Martial Arts films in years. If Tona Jaa can repeat even a fraction of that in this movie then I am sold. By the looks of things this movie may be even more vrtual then the last. IS this possible?
Slo-mo shots will be nothing compared to the annoying 3-7 multi- by Kampbell-Kid	Apr 14th, 2005 07:59:09 AM
Tony Jaa without a doubt has amazing skill... but that constant barrage of multi-angle shots of each stunt totally took me away from fully enjoying Ong Bak every time. Ong Bak only served one badass purpose, showing off to wire-fu film makers that this is how real movie stunts are done. In honesty, Ong Bak with it's forgettable vintage Van Damne Bloodsport plot... made me really feel like I was watching TONY JAA'S STUNTMAN REEL RESUME. No doubt with the same production co and what seems similar crew... I really have a feeling this new film will be another slo-mo multi-angle shot stuntman reel again. Too bad it forgot to highlight him as a stunt double for Robin Shou in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. lol
Dammit.... by Smash Mcduggan	Apr 14th, 2005 08:44:42 AM
My stupid player wont show the trailer.And i really wanted to see jaa destroy everybody too.......
this trailer sucks ass by Nerdboy1423	Apr 14th, 2005 11:01:25 AM
I love Tony Jaa and Ong bak to death, but this trailer is crappily thrown together bunch of slow-mo scenes. I want to see stuff from the movie, not just a hit at 300 frames a second
Slo mo by macgruder	Apr 14th, 2005 11:14:17 AM
This trailer isnt that good, why is the whole thing in slow motion, and most of the cuts are before the actual impact of the hits. Oh well, I know this movie will be awesome nonetheless.
Tony Jai-alai... by El Che	Apr 14th, 2005 11:59:29 AM
... spends the entire film whipping up on people, using a large, scoop-shaped basket strapped to his hand.
Whoa, good sound effects... by splbrg75	Apr 14th, 2005 12:01:01 PM
sounds like they took them straight out of XANADU.
The only good slo-mo shot in that thing was the bone-crunching k by George Newman	Apr 14th, 2005 12:33:41 PM
Dang that kick was sweet. The rest of that thing was a very annoying teaser. Annoying in the sense that it didn't give what i wanted. At all.

CHECK OUT TRAILER #1 INSTEAD.... by JackFoley	Apr 14th, 2005 01:01:11 PM
It's wayyyyyyy better, I don't know why Harry didn't direct us to that one too.
Did Harry & Co. sell out? by TheKinsman	Apr 14th, 2005 02:13:08 PM
Why is the site's icon the same as USAToday's? Did I miss something?
best kick to the head ever by vicious_bastard	Apr 14th, 2005 02:35:37 PM

Did anyone notice... by freevew	Apr 14th, 2005 04:50:15 PM
The 3rd sponsor at the end of the trailer is fittingly none other than Ma Ma brand instant noodle -- tom yum goong flavor.
There's a reason TOM YUM GOONG sounds like asian food... by Spike Fett	Apr 14th, 2005 05:07:04 PM
... because it is. It's a Thai soup with shrimp and mushrooms.
Rogue Leader, you wrote: "the film will OWN REGARDLESS" by eraser_x	Apr 14th, 2005 06:28:50 PM
Everyone knows the word you're trying to say is "IRREGARDLESS". "Regardless" is not even a word! Sheesh. Why do people gotta be so illegitimate!?! Dumass! ;-)
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE TITLE MEANS? by CelestialPudding	Apr 14th, 2005 06:43:15 PM
and yeah moviemaniac-7 its not chinese, its Thai...
Does TOM YUM GOONG translate to Romeo Must Die 2? by Grando	Apr 15th, 2005 02:02:55 AM
'cause that's what it looks like....
Slo Mo by Rock Icon	Apr 15th, 2005 02:24:43 AM
There has been way too much use of slow motion. It's more impressive at normal speed or slightly sped up anyway. Slo mo should be used as a (occasional)dramatic effect, not the main device.
Goon by Bender-Wiggins	Apr 15th, 2005 03:24:55 AM
Eraser_X, irreguadless is not a word. It beame a word for a while because through misuse but ''reguardless' and 'irrespective' are words, which, together through bastardisation brought 'irreguardless' into vernacular, but not true language. You tool.
Bender, are you irrespecting me? by eraser_x	Apr 15th, 2005 07:49:55 AM
I think you are joking when you say "irreguardless" is vernacular because I have read all of Vern's reviews and I have never heard him write irreguardless or even irreguadless. If I am a tool, I must be a sharper tool than you. Maybe I would be a chisel, and you would be a piece of chewed gum that is used to temporarily plug a seam. Ha ha, I slay me. If you make me reply again, I will have to write something even dumber! ;-)
TOM YUM GOONG by nantra	Apr 17th, 2005 05:47:09 AM
is actually thai spicy and sour soup with prawns and lemon grass. i assume the sequel would be called "TOM YUM KAI" for the same soup with chicken (thai people aren't very keen on beef)
The first trailer was better. by Oompa_Radar	Apr 17th, 2005 12:42:25 PM
I am just chomping at the bit over this one. Can't wait!
tom yum goong by The Librarian	May 8th, 2005 11:21:41 AM
i thought the shrimp, lemon grass, thai pepper soup was called tom yum kun. any speakers of thai out there that can solve this for us?
tom yum goong the name by drunkentiger	Jun 26th, 2005 11:50:59 PM
There was actually a deliberate plan when it comes to the name for this movie. As I understand it, the idea is that Tom Yum Goong is one of the most well-known Thai dishes in the world. Aside: Yes it uses lemon grass as one of its main ingredient and comes in either clear and thick soup base. The word Goong itself means shrimp while Tom Yum describes for how-to prepare the soup. The ever growing popularity of Thai cuisine around the world means that a good portion of the target audience will recognize the name right away whether they be in Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, France, England, or the U.S. Tom Yum Goong (along with Thai food in general) is also known for its good strong flavor highlight by its spicy taste...also referring to the intention by the director to make this movie even hotter than Ong Bak.
