Muay Thai one onTony Jaa returns August 25! [Edit: the film is now opening September 8!]
Official site here. Link to my review of Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior here.
Ong-Bak was a massive hit in its native Thailand and earned a stateside cult following, largely thanks to Jaa's insistence on performing all his own stunts and fights without wires or special effects. The plot, about a country boy who travels to the city to retrieve a stolen Buddha head, may have been pretty lame -- but the brawls were numerous and glorious. Judging by the trailer, The Protector looks like a flashier effort from Ong-Bak director Prachya Pinkaew (an avowed martial arts movie maniac). Elephants! Motorcycles! Fire! Helicopters! Big bald white dudes going "Aaaaarrrgggh!" Tony Jaa's feet and fists of fury! Can't wait, dude.

"The Protector" (not the original title) also shares "Ong Bak"'s plot, except it substitutes stolen elephants for the stolen Buddha head and Sydney for Bangkok. Still, I'm in as long as my Minimum Daily Cinematic Ass-Kicking needs are met.
