Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 6 / 10 Not as bad as you've heard The only way I think folks could enjoy this one is if friends watch it and keep a tally of times Jaa SHOULD Give me a Sonny Chiba, Gina Carano or Shaw Brothers flick any day, but you can keep your brainless stunts and plots. I actually love them and have seen several hundred and adore the GOOD ones.

Now do not get the idea that I hate martial arts film. So, he steals Kham's elephant and rigs him up as a gigantic bomb! I am not kidding-a giant bomb! Frankly, I cannot believe they made this with a straight face, it's that silly. Apparently some nutty guy is trying to disrupt the peace process between the fictional countries of East and West Katana. Speaking of making no sense at all, let's get back to the elephant. The worst is the one where Kham falls what looks like about 40 stories and he lands in a pool and is just fine!!! Also, seeing him take on 200 bikers and winning is just too much! Additionally, the fire sequence, though cool to look at, just made no sense at all. They SHOULD have relied on Jaa's skills but instead there is one insane stunt after another after another -and many of them are simply impossible. However, it's all ruined because the writer and director couldn't leave well enough alone. On one hand, you have to admire the film's energy as well as Jaa's skills. What follows is one fight scene after another after another after another. Soon it's not only the cops after Kham but the BIGGER baddie who hired the first baddie to steal the pachyderm-and he practically has an army to catch Kham! However, when he goes to the baddie's hideout, the guy is already dead and the police think Kham is responsible. Why they must have THAT particular elephant never is made clear and I am pretty sure Thailand has more than one elephant-as they sure go to a heck of a lot of trouble to get that one! However, soon they elephant-nap the creature-and Kham is in hot pursuit. One day, a baddie and his punks come to Kham and demand he sells them his elephant. It's about a boy, Kham (Tony Jaa) and his elephant and both are best buddies.

When the film begins, the film seems a lot like a Lassie film. However, the biggest laugh is at the end where the big plot twist is, believe it or not, an exploding elephant.

Again and again, the stunts are so impossible that you just have to laugh. Instead, my problem is with the brainlessness of the script. My problem isn't with the martial arts abilities of the leading man, Ton Jaa. And, based on what I just saw, I doubt if I'll bother seeing the first. Reviewed by MartinHafer 3 / 10 Some nice fight sequences.but mostly stupid ones and really stupid plot.Д«efore I get to why I disliked this movie, I have a confession to make- I'm reviewing 'Protector 2' even though I never saw the first film in this series.
