- Synopsis:
Hot on the heels of his incredible ass-kicking performance in Ong-bak, the greatest action hero of the decade, Tony Jaa, is back in Warrior King - with a bigger budget, a Western setting and even more of his amazing trademark "no wireworks, no CGI, no stunt doubles" action! Thai village boy, Kham's peaceful world is rocked when illegal animal smugglers kidnap his precious pet elephants, stealing them away to the seedy underworld of Australia's Sydney to meet a dubious end. They have picked the wrong guy to mess with: the elephants are like family to Kham, and he sets out to bring them back, beating to a pulp anyone who stands in his way. His journey pitches him against one fierce opponent after another, each more skilled and deadly then the last- the perfect recipe for the most bone-crunching , jaw-dropping action ever! - Actors:

Serious Martial Arts Movie - Warrior King review by CP Customer
This film has some of the best ever martial arts scenes ever. Real moves, with no wires, and no crash mats.
The film uses a combination of english and subtitles, which means that you dont loose interest, in the story, because of the reading bit.

Terrific Thai actioner - Warrior King review by Alphaville
If you’re into martial arts films, this is a must-see. Athletic Star Tony Jaa famously does all his own stunts without cgi or wirework. Even if martial arts aren’t your thing, this is still a beautiful film to watch. For the first colourful fifteen minutes in the Thai jungle you’ll believe elephants can act. The plot then moves to the urban jungle of Australia and the real action kicks in.
Some of it is just biff-&-bash, but there are two glorious set-pieces. One uses a long single take to follow the fighting up several storeys of a building, the tension mounting as you wonder how much longer the superbly-choreographed shot can be sustained. The second is an almost balletic scene in a shallow pool of water where our Tony tries his moves on another gymnastic fighter. Martial arts films aren’t supposed to be this artfully directed or beautiful to behold. If you like this, check out the equally good-looking Thai actioner Raging Phoenix.
