Alternate Versions
American cut (and possibly all cuts released under Europa) omits 90% of the subplot featuring Muay's older sister, Ngek. The only scene she appears in is when Don causes her to overdose on cocaine. The cuts to this version creates confusion as to why Muay is upset in the scene when George tells her "people die". See more »
The storyline is predictable, but the visual and the fights makes up for it. I understand why people compare the lead actor with Jet Li. They both have that presence on screen, the amazing flexibility and fighting sequences. Outstanding acrobatic movements when running from the bad guys in the street and it was good to see the shots from different angles.
It reminds me of some Jet Li's better fighting sequences before he took to the wires. This is the kind of martial arts film that makes me smile and cheer.
