The stunts in this movie fucking rule. It's got everything from free running, to fights, to boss fights, set pieces, shit, there's a fucking tuktuk chase in it. How many action movies can you count where people chase eachother with tuktuks?!
Like I said in the title what really makes this movie stand out to me is the fact that Tony's really hitting his opponents and it genuinely shows. The stunt guys are always wearing big wigs, hats, beanies, or layered clothing to hide the protective pads their wearing. It's nuts. The fight choreography is gorgeous in this, Tony Jaa's movement is so fluid and rhythmic, he really brought out the beauty of Muay Thai.
The story is also pretty decent, the simple story of a country bumpkin having to team up with a scummy city slicker to return hope back to their village is pretty cute.
I think it's a tie for me between the fight club battles and the final fight for the best fight scene in the movie
