The manly Thai action star Tony Jaa is back with more stunts and fighting moves
When the influential owner of a major elephant camp, Boss Suchart, is murdered in his own home, all evidence points to Kham (reprised by Tony Jaa), an elephant keeper who was present at the crime scene.
Kham then goes on the run with the police in hot pursuit.
Target of Revenge
Meanwhile, the twin nieces of Boss Suchart (played by Jija Yanin Wismitanan and Teerada Kittisiriprasert) are out for revenge.But luck is on Kham’s side when he runs into Sergeant Mark (Mum Jokmok), an Interpol agent sent to Thailand on a secret mission.
Apart from dodging his pursuers, Kham is also desperately searching for Khon, his elephant whose disappearance coincided with Boss Suchart’s death. He is unexpectedly drawn into an underground fighting ring run by LC (rapper RZA), a crime lord who is obsessed with collecting martial artists from around the world, who wants to capture him for his own use.
Action Sensation
From the first Tom Yum Goong movie, actor Tony Jaa became the new martial arts sensation with his visceral style of fighting. Tom Yum Goong created a phenomenon in every country that it was released and took the top spot at the box-office in various territories, including Hong Kong and South Korea, as well as scored a big hit in Europe and North America, raking in over $40 million.
Tom Yum Goong 2 is also available in 3D for a much more immersive experience.
Fight Sequences
Expect long and exhilarating fight sequences between Tony Jaa and an army of over 100 assassins on motorcycles speeding across rooftops. He will also fall from a suspension bridge at the height of a 20-storey building – without using a stunt double – cling on the roof of a speeding car that makes a 360-degree turn in the middle of the road, and is involved in an amazing long take that films the action from a camera attached to Tony’s head as he’s jumping from building to building while fending off his enemies.
