DVD Description
Tony Jaa is Bak with a Vengeance! The action star of Ong-bak returns in the bigger budget Warrior King - expect more of his trademark "no wireworks, no CGI, no stunt doubles" action and even more jaw-dropping stunt sequences.

Synopsis
When a mafia syndicate based in Australia steal Kham's (Tony Jaa, ONG-BAK) beloved elephants from him in Thailand, he travels to Australia to get them back, taking out anyone in his path. The elephants were being prepared to be presented by Kham's family to his Majesty the King of Thailand as a symbol of devotion, so Kham embarks on a dangerous mission to a foreign country in order to rescue the stolen elephants. Along the way, Kham uses his spectacular Muay Thai martial arts skills to dispense with hundreds of mafioso soldiers. Using the same no wireworks, no CGI, no stunt doubles mantra as ONG-BAK, WARRIOR KING is possibly the most frenetic, skilful and kinetic martial arts film made in recent times. Much of the action looks spectacularly dangerous and contact is frequently made between the actors, bringing to mind a more explosive version of films made by Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung in the 1980s. The most visually stunning moment occurs when Jaa embarks on mission to get to the top of a staircase in a mafia brothel, pummelling scores of opponents on the way. This all takes place during a glorious four-minute long take. Tony Jaa once again demonstrates why he is the most exciting martial arts actor to have emerged in the 2000s with a display of supreme agility, skill and bone-crunching power.

3.0 out of 5 stars An extremely entertaining incoherent mess!, 4 Nov 2006
By bobby_bobson (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
While the fights in this follow up to Ong Bak are for the most part as awe inspiring as its predecessor the rest of the movie doesn't live up to expectations. The plot is laughable and pretty much exactly the same as Ong Bak; elephants go missing from town so Tony Jaa is sent to big city (this time Sydney) to bring them back. A big problem with this film is that the makers have made the same mistake I've seen in numerous other modern Asian films which is to try and incorporate English dialogue to make it more accessible to the international audience. This unfortunately means you get English speaking actors who can't act to save their lives and Thai actors concentrating more on speaking properly than giving a decent performance. Luckily the fights scenes save this movie from being a complete failure though. They are some of the best you'll see today and highlights are a fight in a warehouse against a gang of skaters and a beautifully shot single take fight up 3 floors.

Usually when I watch an action movie I don't expect much from the whole plot/acting side of things but when it starts to interrupt the whole enjoyment of the movie I find it hard to be forgiving. So to conclude this is an incoherent mess with an absurd plot and poor acting but some bloody good action. Although Tony Jaa is still a long way off of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li status in terms of screen presence, his martial arts skills are some of the best and most entertaining you'll see today.

5.0 out of 5 stars The real deal, 11 Oct 2006
By Cf Prince - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Lets be honest yes we do like a story line and good acting and yes this film does involve both, no oscars will be awarded but thats not saying the acting is poor. The acting and plot is clouded over by the sheer brilliance of the fight scenes! I love martial art films and have not been this amazed since seeing Enter the Dragon for the first time when i was 10. The fight scenes are unexplainable and for me there is currently no rival in existence to some of the fight scenes in this film. Vastly entertaining and will be added to my collection as soon as possible!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally Awesome, 13 Dec 2006
By J. Carter "painkiller" (harlow, essex) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've seen some of these reviews slagging off the storyline and the acting and it's not as bad as some people are saying. If i'm being honest i couldn't care less about the story as long as the action is top notch and this movie has action in spades. Warrior king is one of the best martial arts films i have ever seen. I haven't been this impressed since Bruce Lee. Tony Jaa is astounding and easily surpasses the stuff he does in Ong Bak. The choreography of the fight scenes is superb and for the first time since Bruce Lee you truly believe that this man could take on 50 men and win. All in all a top notch martial arts romp and i recommend it to anyone who likes martial arts films.
