Did you get it in English or atleasr with english subs??

 

[jackangel]

yes, subtitles.

my thai is a bit rusty.

also, i expect BRR to post on this thread.

p.s. the movie had a tremendous number of elbow strikes, in all flavours.

i bet it would seem much better on the big screen.....i hate watching movies on my comp.

i send the video/audio from the laptop to our big screen TV. most dvd-rips are pretty good, and some are nearly indistinguishable from actual DVDs (to my eyes, at the least). my setup is rather crude, as well.

it's not like being in a theater, of course, but still enjoyable. i don't watch movies directly on my laptop anymore.

saw the DVD

liked the repetoire of elbows, if perhaps mnore showboating its nice to see someone use Thai for a bit of show as opposed to the easier elbows which would be a bit boring to watch

It was pretty much the elbows that did it for me, nice use of flying knees thrown in but his opponents using other styles never really got to feature properly. Downside is nt much in the way of hands but then I dont think they fight that way out in Thailand, its only us binging in the boxing side of things i guess.

Also nice not to see some bird prancing round on a fucking wire for half an hour too
