Somtam

August 21, 2008 by nopstar 

Holy crap… it’s a slightly slow news day on MMT.  So I tought I would present you with this Thai cinematic gem.

I suppose this in Thailand’s answer to the Hulk…    The sad part is, I’m sure there already hard at work on the sequel.  It looks like a supreme turd.  Not much you can do to shine this one up.  Ong Bak has single handedly transformed the Thai movie industry.  I don’t recall there ever being so much acrobatic Muay Boran-ish fight sequences.

    I had to sit and watch this film on pirate dvd once to appease my thai gf. It was shit and i couldnt watch it till the end. The actor i think was aussie, and i thought it would be the last time i’d ever see him on film, but i noticed he was also in that vinnie jones film recently where ten people go to an island and have to kill each other to survive, stone cold steve austin was in it too, (who??) so this character is definitely on the way up…..:)

    this movie promises serious foreign lolz. so good.

    fun facts about this monster of a man:

    - fought in pride FC’s first event but loss due to submission from a sumo wrestler.

    - wrestled for the WWF. was slated to be the undertakers partner at wrestlemania 19 but WWF thought he was too green to wrestle on that big of a card.

    - recieved a spiral fracture in his arm from arm wrestling the mighty Magnus Samuelsson

    good old IMDB.com

    I second that Tong Po
    Looks kinda Cheesy, but come on, Im used to dubbed Kung Fu movies, Old 80´s Chuck Norris, Jackie Chan, or Ninja movies(the really old ones, Not American Ninja) So I could watch this and enjoy it more than Crap n´Shit like National Treasure or Kung Fu Panda! All mentioned movies produce the same result TO ME, a little unserious Entertainment!
