So that monkhood thing was pretty serious. Khun Tatchakorn Yeerum (ทัชชกร ยีรัมย์) , formerly Panom Yeerum (พนม ยีรัมย์), hasn't been heard from or seen since. Guess it's going to be awhile before Tony Jaa makes a movie. If ever again.
So what about his latest movie, Ong-Bak 3? I would have thought it'd be obligatory for the Toronto International Film Festival's Midnight Madness program. But no.
Maybe they didn't like the torture.
Ong-Bak 3 is out on VCD and DVD in Thailand. They're selling it on the counter at the 7-Eleven as an impulse buy. Which is cool. I've halfway thought of picking it up myself. No subtitles of course. But hey.
Anyway, fans outside Thailand are in luck. It's coming to DVD in the U.K. on October 11. Amazon has it listed. Blu-ray too.
(Thanks Logboy!)
FINALLY!
ReplyDeleteWhat took you so long!?
and please stop bashing Tony Jaa!
he knows that he is not an idiot like Jackie Chan, who only make movies for fan service.
You need to understand that Tony Jaa is a gymnastics not some guy that does fancy moves in movies to wow people like you.
His movies are for martial arts lovers such as myself, since we've been watching them since those classic kung fu movies.
I'm glad he turned monk!
Most "TRUE" martial artist are always monks or believe in religion (Christian).
