The next Bruce Lee?

[Gordon Moore]

Many have come and gone with that claim...
(decide for yourself, obviously it has a low budget feel...but that's not why you would watch this... Who knows, Jackies getting older and relying on CG occasionally, Jet Li has disappeared??? Someone has to pave the way).

...Smart money is on Thai sensation Tony Jaa star of the upcoming film ONG-BAK. Heck don't just take my word for it - Time Magazine even called the dude the "long-overdue answer to Bruce Lee." The film, already a success in Asia, is coming to the US courtesy of Luc Besson (THE PROFESSIONAL) who re-edited the film and will have it released on February 4th (one of the last places in the free world it will have screened). Check out the teaser for the film at the official website by clicking below and get ready for yourself whether Tony Jaa can hold a candle to Master Lee.

It certainly looks to have great potential.

Bruce Lee, I don't know, those are pretty hard shoes to fill.

I've seen some other clips of this young man. He's almost scary in what he can do. Hopefully, it'll be a good effort on the filmmakers' part.

Doesn't seem as smooth as Bruce Lee did. Like... some moves seem as if his body requires too much effort to execute it, you know? Bruce Lee, every move seemed so fluent with him.

True...much different style,lots of elbows and knees with Tony.

I have watched his two?...movies.The first Ong-Bak,was fairly entertaining...you are watching it of course for his artistry.
The second,the Protector was a step back...at least to my son and I.
