You liked The Protector but not Ong Bak? I'm the opposite. The fight scenes in both were cool, but I liked Ong Bak's story better. I was mad shitty all through "The Protector" b/c I couldn't get past the fact that they went through all this bullshit over a fuckin Elephant. Even his father got himself killed trying to protect that damn elephant.
And in the end, the Elephant got gutted anyway.
I know folks will think that it's a cultural thing, but I have an extensive foreign film collection from France, England, Thailand, HK, Japan, Korea, Bollywood, etc...and a stupid plot is a stupid plot. LOL.
If Jean Claude's Van damn main motivation for fighting Tong Po in Kickboxer would have been to avenge Tong Po stealing his Siberian Huskie, I woulda been shitty about that too. LOL.
