Hmm.
The DVD is being released by Rarescope - the same company who released Along Came The Tiger. Maybe as their name suggests they put rare/less well known stuff on DVD.

Hope the subtitles are better than the ones for "Tiger" :lol:

Huh? Smells like "Tom Yum Goong". But then the specs say 2001, which is before "Ong-Bak".

Well he was a stuntman who worked a lot internationally, maybe he made a non-Thai vehicle film before OB and it's been shelved until now?

Ah. I thought it looked a bit like Avril Lavigne, but wasn't sure cuz the photo's been overly airbrushed.

watched this early,typical low budgeter,probably on a par with jackie's early efforts. tony jaa is not in it long but he's clearly the best thing in it.the story consists of villagers and tourists being attacked by a mad voodoo doctor & a nutter in a forest,running away and then coming back for more :D it's bonkers,2.35.1 anamorphic but the transfer is poor.

I noticed the DVD cover has an image from TYG and the DVD menu has an image from Ong-Bak.
