Born To Fight
From the makers of Ong-Bak... anyone seen this? It sounds kick ass...

Thai... no subs
Here's the jist of it...
Cop puts away bad guy... later said cop goes with this chick and the rest of her athlete friends to a remote village to distribute goods. Out of nowhere the village come under attack from a militant group who wants the bad guy released. While they hold the villagers hostage... if their demands aren't met they will launch a nuke at the city... villagers uprise and cue why we really are watching the movie...
The opening of the film rocked... as we get to see a man narrowly escape from having his head crushed by the tire of a huge truck... litterally millimeters from death... then the movie drags... and then it kicks in.
It's no Ong-Bok... while Born to Fight did have it's moments (so close to having his head crushed?!?) I wasn't very impressed with it... though the guy with one leg kicking ass was very amusing and there was one body explosion that was tight as well as a few limbs getting shot off... the rest of the "stars" are nothing more then soccer players kicking round objects at the bad guys... or gymnasts doing conviently placed uneven bars...
Paid less the $20 for the disc... so I'm not too disappointed with what we got...
There are a boat load of stuff for extras... the most interesting for me was the computer animation storyboards for some of the stunts... like the opening one (did I mention so close to head crushing)...
All in all it's still pretty imprssive... as with Ong-Bok... because of no wirework being used...

I just got done with this one and am stunned at what I just witnessed. Born to Fight is quite possibly every action movie ever parodied by The Simpsons. It is a lifetime of action cliches packed neatly into one ninety minute movie. It has all the subtlety of Wrestlemania.
The plot is completely incomprehensible. Sort of Die Hard meets Gymkata meets every other shitty, low budget action flick ever made in the mid-1980's.
There's this guy in it who spends a third of the movie lugging the Thai flag around like Mel Gibson in The Patriot. I swear to god, they were going to impale a terrorist on that flag! I was disappointed when they didn't. What a crass opportunity for ultra patriotism, which this movie is loaded with. A village of people are moved by their national anthem to charge into a wall of machine gun fire and take back their village bare handed. Lucky for them, they all have freakin' sweet skills at muay that kickboxing.
Ass whipping ensues.
Also worth noting, the violence in this movie is some of the most cruel I've ever seen in a movie. It gets intense in parts.
In summation, smoke a bowl and check this out. It is seriously the most ridiculous movie I've ever seen.
