Khaopong-Lek’s return home

A recent film festival in Bangkok ended with "Ong Bak", a Muay Thai film that looks promising. I;ve seen the trailers and it's got lots of elbows (a farang yells "fuck muay thai" before being suddenly knocked out by a boxer) -- and even a tuk-tuk chase. Actually looks really cool if you're into that sort of thing (which you are or you wouldn't be reading this!). It's probably going to be to Muay Thai what "Enter the Dragon: was for kung fu. Or maybe not.

Here's the article about it from Bangkok Post: http://www.bangkokpost.net/en/100103_Realtime/10Jan2003_real01.html
