Where the hell is my elephant?
5 August 2007
One would not think that an elephant would be so important that someone would travel from Thailand to Austrailia to find one - or two - but, apparently they are something special to Khan (Thai Warrior's Tony Jaa).

Unlike the PC martial arts in Super Hawk, the action here gets downright bone cracking. Reminisent of Jet Li, Khan can take on a couple of dozen without breaking a sweat, but breaking bones along the way. But, it is those big suckers that he has to fight that really make things interesting. I didn't know that they made them that big! There isn't much story except for the quest for his elephants, so everything is put into the martial arts. BMX and roller blade fans can appreciate the warehouse fight, while the water fight in the temple gives a view of different martial arts styles.

If you like your action almost continuous and highly stylized, then this is for you. Expect much much more from Jaa.
