'The Protector', starring Tony Jaa

Simply put, this movie is awesome.

Tony Jaa puts on a Muay Thai clinic as he delivers serious ass-kickery all across Sydney, Australia. A big part of the excitement associated with this picture is the display of Muay Thai; a more brutal cousin to the martial arts displayed by Jackie Chan in recent films. The fierceness and purity is reminiscent of Bruce Lee's big screen offerings. With the interest in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) on the rise, a movie showcasing Muay Thai is just what the doctor ordered. Tony Jaa serves up elbows and knees about as often as McDonald's serves up Happy Meals.

Enjoy.

How does it compare to the Big Brawl with Jackie Chan?

Haven't see 'Big Brawl' so, I can't say.
