Tony Jaa is Back in The Protector

As you have probably noticed I have a soft spot for some serious Martial Arts films. In particular ones that go balls to the wall with the action. Now if you want a star in the genre look no further than Tony Jaa.

Jaa is amazing and he is doing things that Jackie Chan wishes he could of done. Some have even went as far as to say he is the next Bruce Lee. Now I don't think he will ever reach the heights of Fame that Lee got mainly because Lee is a fallen hero, and a legend.

But anyway here is the synopsis for The Protector:

"The Protector " aka "Tom Yum Goong" tells the story of Kam (Tony Jaa), a simple village boy facing the challenge of his life. Kam and his father own two elephants, which they dream of presenting to his majesty the King of Thailand.

When the precious elephants are stolen and sold to Australia by a Thai gang boss, Kam realizes that he only way to save them is to take on the gang. Even with the help of Thai policeman Mark and Sydney-Based Thai girl Pla, Kam faces an uphill battle against gana boss Madame Rose and her fearsome sidekicks.


The Weinsteins have changed the release date and you will be able to check this out on September 8th in theatres everywhere.
