Jet Li, Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, etc. - NOT!
Punches and mostly kicks weren't choreographed well, more like telegraphed very well - too much effort and seen them coming.
At least they could have staged the scenes - each floor he was getting more and more winded - more of a director issue then the actor.
Lame ZZzzzzz
nothing personal GS - imho

lol all i can say is OWNED at 2:38
tony jaa pwns
it was intended to be unedited. the entire scene is shot from one camera. I thought that was pretty awesome. I respect your opinion dude.
The technical aspect of shooting that scene in one take is incredible. I would say the choreography was pretty damn impressive considering, if that scene were cut like a regular fight scene it wouldn't stand out so much. I admire Directors who are brave enough to shoot long takes like this as it can be expensive if many takes are needed and it restricts you in the editing room.AAFCptKabbom wrote:

Check out Gaspar Noe's 'Irreversible' for incredible long takes (though he uses super-subtle invisible special FX).
that guy has some of the nastiest knees i have ever seen.
The real challenge is that it is all in one shot. They did it 8 times or so, putting everything back between each take. They also had to replace the steadycam guy who was filming this because he couldn't follow the pace.
It's the longest shot in a kung-fu movie. (By the way, the title of the movie is Ong Bak)

It took them 5 tries or something to get that scene right. That's why he looks 'tired'... To be honest I'd be dead after the first take.
I have the original DVD from Thailand

I was kind of waiting for the end where Indiana Jones shoots him.
"Tom Yum Goong" is the name of the movie actuallydead_rac00n wrote:

or
'Protector' in America
That scene wasnt from Ong Bak. It was from the Protector methinks, his more recent film.dead_rac00n wrote:

I like the fact that he looked tired, it made it more believable like the scene in the hallway from 'Old Boy'.Canadian_Sniper_X wrote:

Let's ban guns!
yeah me likes it too. I hate fight scenes like Bourne Identity or something like that. You get 5 different angles in one seconds and next thing you know everyone is on the ground unconcise wtf ?Braddock wrote:

I watched Irreversible and the first part in gay night club was unbelievable.
Also "Children of Men" comes to mind Braddock. In it there is a scene about 8 minutes long with countless people getting shot, buildings getting destroyed, hundreds of extras running around etc. Pretty amazing.
And yeah... ban guns so people get more exercise
