Kham (Tony Jaa) is a country boy whose life is turned upside down when international mafia figures turn up at his sleepy village to capture his two prize bull elephants and take them to Australia. These are no ordinary elephants. They are majestic, grand creatures due to be offered to His Majesty the King as a token of devotion: they are.... Kham's elephants. He has no choice : he can't allow anyone to take his beloved elephants away, he must travel to Australia, right into the heart of the Mafia-run district to track down the kidnappers and bring his elephants home.

This is Tony Jaa's (Ong Bak) new movie. From the teaser trailers it looks good. Some nice martial arts.

I wanted to know where I could buy this coming that came out in 2004 with him, It's called "The Bodyguard" I looked on Ebay and it was a different bodyguard *not the one with Kevin Costner* It's something else, If someone could help me that'd be awesome.

Oh yeah, I seen this trailer when if first came up. It's pretty good, I like Tony Jaa in Ong Bak. It almost has that same slow motion thing where they show how Tony Jaa nails every move, I think that is pretty tight. Thanks for the link and everything.

Hi, Prisoner. :) I did a quick search and could not actually find that it has been released on DVD yet. According to DVD Times, which is a U.K. site, it will be released there in July of 2005. So maybe it will be released here soon also. :)

Well i finally watched this movie last week. It is excellent. I don't think it is as good as Ong Bak, but it's still good. There's a lot of bone snapping in this movie.

Some of the special effects are pretty terrible though, especially the boat chase. :(

Tam Yum Goong is a VERY popular Thai soup. Goong=shrimp in Thai language. It is a very tastey, spicy soup with lemmongrass, galagal, shrimp, Thai chili (called "prik" in Thai.) The movie with Tony Jaa is already out on DVD or VCD and super easy to get in Bangkok.

Peace!
