Don't be fooled by the cover. I bought this movie because I am a fan of Ong-Bak and The Protector. As soon as the movie started I was dissappointed. The voice-overs were absolutely horrendous and the captions would not even come close to what you actually heard. But still,I thought, it has Tony Jaa in it so the fighting will probably be good.!!Wrong!! In one of the reviews it says that Tony Jaa was at the end. I never even saw him at any point in the entire movie. As a matter of fact, the pictures on the packaging are from Ong-Bak. On the inside casing it has a picture of Jaa's mentor Rittikrai and on the opposite side it has a picture of him again with Jaa's head pasted on. You can tell because they're wearing the same jacket. A jacket that Rittikrai is the only one to wear in the movie.Tony Jaa's name never even appears in the credits.
Unless you like to buy things that are an absolute lie,stay very far away from this product. Hopefully the companies that have been fooled into selling this product become aware of it and seek retribution on the people who fabricated this scam.

I can't even describe how bad this movie is. I bought it only because of Tony Jaa, his name is in movie description and on DVD cover. Tony Jaa IS NOT IN THAT MOVIE. There are couple of amateur videos with Tony Jaa on special features disk, but they worthless.

Tony Jaa is in the movie but is almost unrecognizable and he is only in it for maybe 10 minutes max.

The story is about a guy who comes to town to offer a potion that will make you invincible and ageless. What happens is a woman drinks it and dies. Another man had already drank it but the director does not exactly focus on that. The voodoo doctor does not want them to tell on him so he kills them. He can't kill one of them, I guess I will consider him the hero, but he does kill the guy who drank the potion. So they kill this voodoo doctor and we fast forward 5 years. All of a sudden without any explanation the guy who took the potion comes back invincible. Now we just get weak fight after fight after fight. This movie honestly looked like a home video recording.

There is one very good fight scene. It took me a couple minutes to recognize Tony Jaa but he is doing some sweet moves. So he has by far the best part of the movie. The ending I thought was one of the worst ending I could imagine, but for a home video, it was actually pretty good. If you are looking for a movie with the same type of budget with some truly awesome action check out Legend of the Wolf.

Also the picture quality is pretty bad but is probably not BCI Eclpipse's(Brentwood Home Video's) fault. It is extremely low budget and the film stock changes hundreds of times from shot to shot.

The special features are so so at best. Half of it is just a bunch of clips from Rittikrai movies and man I hope this is not the best action Thailand could come up with back then. There is some good Tony Jaa stuff but the only things I found interesting was the display he did at a movie showing and a demonstration of some awesome looking muay thai moves which is basically just a demostration by a couple of guys.

2.5/5 for the movie
2/5 for the special features

If you're Tony's fan, DON'T BUY THIS CHEATING DVD. I'm from Thailand and I'm so disappointed in this stupid DVD. I bought it from WalMart 'cause I thought that it was a new Tony's movie. It turns out a real old movie that shot by Tony's producer long long time ago with a stupid location and cheap actor and actress.

Worse than Postman stikes back. Horrible movie. I purchased it becuase Im a huge fan of Tony Jaa. Though he is on the cover his part is small, and pointless. He has nothing to do with the story, shows up to fight the main character only to be killed by him. His part is less than 5 min. The rest of the movie is garbage. if youre looking for stunts, or anything like UNG BAK, this is not it. Not even the fight scenes are worth watching.

I thought the movie was gonna be way better than it was. A little disappointing and the fighting and action wasn't that great either. I wouldn't recommend it.

This is not a real movie. This is what happens when you give a bunch of high school kids a film camera, send them out into the woods, and tell them to make a movie. This is the most amateurish piece of crap I have ever seen released on a DVD. My God do I wish I had read the user reviews on this movie before buying it. Anyone who gives this more than 1 star must have been watching a different movie.

Okay, we have no acting. Not bad acting, but no acting. The characters could have just been making up the dialogue as they went along and it would have made zero difference. There are no sets, just them running around in the woods beating each other up. And here is the big one, there are NO EXCITING FIGHT SCENES. I mean the people in the movie just kind of swing their arms and kick randomely. There is no fight choreography and there are no stunts. Me and my brothers could have made this movie. The plot? Who cares? It doesn't make any sense anyway.

Even the film quality is bad! About a dozen times throughout the movie, the color would change. It was as if they had two cameras that recorded with two different kinds of film. I mean it's just god-awful.

And it's a two disc special edition! What in the world could they possibly have needed two discs for? If you value your sanity, stay away from this steaming pile of crap.

This movie was pretty terrible. I never did see Tony Jaa, and he was the reason I bought it. I noticed later that the picture on the back of the DVD case was taken straight from The DVD case of "Ong Bak". The camera quality was terrible, as was the editing and overall acting. There were times when the camera shot would turn a shade of blue, then red, then regular. I can say, however, that my friends and I shared a good laugh over how terrible this movie is.

It was probably fascinating in its day but based on today's standards, it is pretty old fashioned.

It was a typical low budget kung fu movie. I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it although my Shihan got some ideas for our training from it. If you are watching this to see Tony Jaa, he has a very small part in it.
