Tony Jaa THE MUAY TAI WARRIOR


In his most current film The Protector [U.S. Version], Tony Jaa's father appears at the Songkran scene; as a Jackie Chan double in the airport, which was intended as a tribute to Jaa's idol. Thai rock star Sek Loso appears prominently in the foreground in one scene drinking his trademark energy drink, which was tied up in a promotional relationship with the movie in Thailand. Tony Jaa has developed a new style of Muay Thai especially for the film: "Muay Kotchasan" which is based on elephants' movements ("throw, stamp on, grab, break"). As with all of Tony Jaa's previous films, no wires or stunt doubles were used during filming. It's all Tony Jaa.
