    **TERRORISM**

  • The fights scenes are amazing, Tony jaa got some skills

  • bad plot but good fight scenes

  • the U.S version.. sucks balls..

    the international version kicked fuckin azz tho

  • The original title of this movie is "Tom Young Goong"...

  • i am the protagonists illegitimate and alien offspring

  • he pwns

  • jet li would beat his ass

  • only with special effects.

  • i want see him against jet li in a movie

  • so it's now march '07, hows your war goin' mate? Are we dead yet?

  • fuck you for putting this lame ass comment on this video

  • yeh.. i guess the story was full of bullshit . but man that was an awesome movie

  • For a movie with no wirework, the fight sceens are Jackie Chan esq. if not better.

  • gay porn would be more exiting then this crap

  • this movie suck

  • this film is one of the best. dunno what some of you see in this film, to degrade it that way

  • yeah the fight and tunts were amazing but over al the movie blew, plot was convulted and had huge gaps in it and the whole story line was well kinda weak

  • this movie blows .... fighting is ok... but holy shit its a crap movie

  • havent personally seen it but heard its sick

  • this movie seemed to do good in theaters considering it was in barely any. has entertaining long uncut scenes. plus my favorite producer The RZA made the music which i was happy to hear.

  • Ong Bak is better. that's all I can say.

  • sick ass movie and I heard there are absolutely no wires/strings or cgi in any of the fight sequences

  • thats true suk62

    and i watch this movie in thai

    before it came out to the US

  • I have the DVD, the movie is alright but not as good as Ong Bak imo. But I think it's hilarious how Petchthai Wongkamlao speaks his English lines very phonetically.

  • msg to leiko88: Apologies sir, but I did not call you anything. However, you might have got the wrong idea from this part of the sentence: "Also ask yourself..why a ladyboy?" This means that the ladyboy i am talking about is the evil chinese one in the film...not you. Again, apologies if I have offended you as this was not my intention.

  • Its ok sometimes I get mad at little things at times no matter what it is I'm also sorry for what I said which I never should have in th first place.I'm just a teenage girl with a big mouth.

  • It's #4 box office! DANG!

  • Tony Jaa's best movie 2006 hand's down!!

  • Most martial arts fans in the US has already seen this movie through the internet, since it's been around for a year. It will be interesting to see how it does in the box office.

  • ong bak has better moves and direct-hits

  • This is one of the best action/fight movies in the last 20 years.

  • this movie has not come out yet to north america yet and you guys are saying it sucks... man this movie is going to rock i can't w8. if your going to talk shit about it w8 till it comes out.

  • good movie i like it

    Great action

  • One of the best action movies that i have ever seen.

  • it would of been funny if they called this film Prawn Lemon Grass Soup which is basically what "Tom Yum Goong" (the film's thai title) means....but we all know that already. crap title though. Ong Bak is better...but in this one, you get to see more of the actor who is the funny policeman.This is a hollywood wannabe film!Also ask yourself..why a ladyboy?why a white buddhist monk?I think the director tries to introduce us to old and new things about Thailand.

  • it is tom yum goong i watched it yesterday. tarantino just dubbed it and edded some sound effects to make the movie experience better. last fight scene was amazing with all the bone cracking

  • this film is already out in europe and asia =D

  • just so you know the main character of this movie tony jaa does his own stunts no strings and no special effects

  • hmmm

  • Boring boring boring! Haven't we seen a hundred varieties of this kind of film before? YAWNNNNNN!

    Can't you come up with something ORIGINAL!

  • r u dumb the fight thing seen is different n sum of the action is slow mo unlike the other movies. except matrix but tats wen hes dodging bullets. ur the boring one lik how ur last girlfriend sed in bed.

  • Im not paying money for something I already seen. Bet your ass that this movie is dubbed and subbed.

  • r u stupid did u hear the white guy talk. lol

  • I've owned this movie for a long time on dvd.

  • check out my video "looks like we made it"

  • Click on my name for a personalised sexy happy birthday video message. Enjoy

  • i prefurred 'Tom Yung Goong' - the protecter is a fuckin stupid name.

  • If you havent seen this one yet you should!!!

    youtube - /watch?v=Xm2qpQRvURs

  • Highly anticipated? You gotto be kidding. Another wanna be Holy-crap company bringing shitty Asian movies to us. Bloody hell...

  • don't watch it then

  • Have you seen any of Tony Jaa's movies? Do you even know who Tony Jaa is? I've already seen this movie and in my opinion, Ong Bak and The Protector has "the best" martial art fight scenes.

  • If there was an award for 'most strained and crappy english' in a movie, it would go to this film. Even the lines from people who were supposedly native English speakers were corny and horribly written.

  • comeon.... cant they come up with anything new?

  • I have seen this movie already!

    this movie sux, lol

  • I think this movie seems awesome. I'm so going to see it when it's in theatres.

  • Also, as much as I LOVE Tony Jaa, this movie didn't quite live up to the hype. It doesn't beat Ong-Bak that's for sure. Every critic in Thailand scolded this movie. The fighting is great and all but the movie tries to be too "cool." In one scene, the bad guy rings a bell to call upon his underlings to fight Kham (Tony Jaa). And these fuckers come on roller blades and BMX bikes and fight while roller blading and riding on their bikes. They might as well have ninjas with lightsabers pop out too.

  • Goddamn Weinstein Company...this is a Thai movie called Tom Yum Goong. "The Protector"? Come on now...what a lame ass title. I don't know wtf this damn compnay is thinking. They market the movie as if he is protecting his people: "One man will fight to protect them all." Bullshit. He's not protecting jack shit. The mafia jacked his royal elephants and he is out to get them back. That's all.

  • This is not a new movie. REMAKE OF asian Martial arts movie called, Tom Yum Goong i have this movie in Beautiful dvd quality for over 1 1/2 years ago and i sell them let me knwo if anyone is interested $20

  • This is what we call a "street fighter" movie. Basically put two life bars at the top and throw in a "Finish him" or "Draw" and you have yourself a computer game.

  • dat was raw

  • a new born kung fu movie star has borned!!!! but this movie plot not so good la...

  • I rented Tom Yum Goong (now called "the protector" from scarecrow video. Good movie.

  • i read that ong-bak 2 and rush hour 3 start production in january!! tony jaa was suppose tuh be featured in rush hour3 but couldn't, bad timing bcuz of ong-bak2...CANT WAIT FOR THOSE MOVIES!!!

  • LIMEWIRE it or GOOGLE it with the name 'TOM YUM GOONG'

  • Looks like Tony Jaa may be the heir apparant to Bruce Lee!!!

  • i was about to say sounds like Ong Bak, but its the same actor from Ong Bak...

  • hotness and he does his own stunts

    hot fire.

  • Come see hot sexy keeley talk about her sweet boobs now!!!

  • of course da movies out but in theaters do they put subtitles or english voices???

  • ive already seen dis movie in thai.... movie kicks so much ass, nathan jones gets his ass kicked alot hahahaha

  • the movie is about kham (tony jaa) the ordinary man in a little village has send his elephant to a contest called "thai elephant go to sydney" when his elephant won the cheif of village has killed his father and took elephant away when kham know that it was use to criminal activities.He must go to sydney and take his elephant back.

  • its about time for a new SICK martial art movie sinse Jet Li and Jackie Chan are retired and old.

  • I saw this movie awhile ago, the original Thai version. Didn't understand the speech, but the story is easy to understand.

    Tony Jaa kicks so much ass in this movie. Watch Ong-Bak too!

  • Same about the Thai thing...the dub was so jacked up XD

  • Already seen tom yum goong, this movie is so fire.

  • hei wat is this movie?i even dunno!

  • Who the hell is the Weinstein Company? Never heard of them, but this movie looks SICK!!!

  • "no it hasn't been out, you might've seen Ong-Bak, not the Protector, unless you saw the advanced screening"

    no this movie has been out since december of 2005. but its called "tom yon gong" its the same movie. tom yon gong = the protector so basically the protector is the english version of it or w.e you could probaly download it right now just serach tom yon gong in ares or limewire you could probaly find it so he probaly saw it. ive seen it like 8 months ago its a amazing movie.

  • actually...it HAS been out before...

    original name was Tom Yum Goong....spell check that!

    but yea...it's story line is kinda garbage! but the action scenes are great!

  • Tony Jaa didnt use stings for 9/10th of the stunts

  • oh well, the storys like 6/10 but the fighting's like 12/10 so whatever. and sorry about my other post, it HAS been out but not in North America

  • This is gonna be the fucking best movie ever

  • no it hasn't been out, you might've seen Ong-Bak, not the Protector, unless you saw the advanced screenings

  • i've seen this movie b4 it was out in usa! its okay, but the fighting scenes are always awesome!

  • The only thing I don't like about Tony Jaa's movies are the fact that they are RASCIST against Vietnamese people. That's right, RASCIST! The thing is Thailand has tried several times in the past to take over Vietnam and all attempts FAILED. So they make Viets the bad guys in this one. I like the movie and all, but couldn't they have used a different bad guy type of thing here? I still give props for the sweet effects and Thai style of fighting even though they hate Viet's style of fighting.

  • nobody cares.

  • sydney

  • This movie looks pointless. Just fighting. Hey! Its that one old man from Karate Kid!

  • this movie is old now. seen it in thai. =) pretty siick though. tops Ong Bak.

  • i hope it's as good as ong bak. can't wait to see this

  • i saw this movie like fukin half an year ago

  • I saw this movie! it's about a guy from THailand who protected a elephant Thailand's animal. And people came a took the elephant (2) and he goes to usa to get it back

  • its actually syndey

  • This movie is going to be awesome!!

  • Nice. ^_^ Can't wait to see it.

  • ok ok for all of you lazy as people out there who dont get the meaning of the title protector well here it is.... in the martial arts all types are base on ones self defense or to protect ones self. aka The protector

  • the title "protector" is not based on self defense or to protect ones self, its about how the Thai culture reveres and admires sacred animals like the elephant. this movie is based on a mother and child elephant who were meant to be given to the king but were stolen and taken to Australia where Tony Jaa fights to get them back.

  • this is called ong bak its a movie from thailand

  • this isnt called Ong Bak. it's called Tom Yum Goong. and yes, it's from Thailand. but it came out there almost a year ago.

  • If they are so good then why did their village get viped out? Why is the "last remaining warrior" who takes revenge able to beat all the bad guys but his entire village couldn't take on a few mobsters?

  • they had big ass guns they cheated

  • the guy hangin from the chopper is a woman idiot and he fall on a elephant's skeletonvafter kneeing her

  • Iraqihitman ...its not the 'protecter' its the 'protector'...idiot...Ong-bak kicked ass and he knees the guy on the chopper because hes F-ing thai , he can grab onto the extension that he's holdin' after hes done.

  • You know, this is just an americanization of the movie "Tom Yung Goong" which came out last year. Go get that and save yourself a trip to the theaters.

  • opps, that's "Tom Yum Goong."

  • retards its called tom yum goong

  • lmfao he knees a guy hangin fromma chopper and also put em self in danger

    y wont he just throw a stik or a shoe widout harming himself:S

  • That movies looks awsome. I might wanna see it.

  • no, i know its not onk bak 2, im just replying to Savaren's comment

  • I saw it, this is way too exagerating IMO.

  • Ong Bak 2?? yes!!

  • No, its a completely different movie with a different storyline, its not ong bak 2

  • Looking forward to Ong-Bak 2 in 2007 as well. ^_^

  • why the fuck did thy call it "the protecter" thts just gay and i saw it on a pirate movie at my friends house and it was called "ong-Back 2" but i hate ong-bak 1 its all subtitles but its tuff.

  • lol, you can turn off the subtitles if you want. Though it's not very good if you can't understand Thai. ^^

    I'm used to subtitles so I don't mind them. But I understand about 1/3 of the language anyway.

  • Looks like a nice movie.

  • saw it

  • I loved Ong-Bak so this film is probably going to be great for me.

    evercracker; Tony Jaa studies/uses Muay Thai, awesome martial art to learn...I'd love to learn it myself.

  • This movie was aired almost 6 months ago, under Tom Yum Gong. The story line is actually about Tony following a band of thieves of stole his elephant (Yes, an Elephant). and well, the story just intecifies more within itself through fights and such. 7/10.

  • thats that kinda said in the trailer...lol!

    tony jaa was awesome when he waws using muai thai in ong bak even if it wasnt in english i still loved it! and now im going to see that cuz of his new martial arts hes using in the protector...jackie chan was my fave martial artist but now...its tony jaa!

  • I saw this movie a long time ago. The movie won't win any awards for acting, or story line, but the action... man, Tony makes Jet Li and Jackie Chan look like a pile of crap. lol <_<

  • Stupid movie! I don'l like it! It's poor!

  • muy thai is awesome but thats not muy thai man u guys dont know wut muuy thai is that definatly not muythai i have the dvd of the bodygaurd and this movie and ong bak

  • the movie story is meh, the action of this movie OMG awsooooooome, i got the thie version,

  • i think this aired is thailand a couple months ago cuz i hav the dvd :s

  • tony jaa doesn't just use muay thai he uses other martial arts you can tell...or maybe i'm just more observant

  • no he actually uses traditional muay thai. u dont see this much anymore but muay thai use to have forms and such

  • ... you mean 'capoeira', and what Jaa does is not close to capoeira, man

  • this movie is good n1gguh i seen it already sheeet

  • bleh idea-is-already-been-done//

  • omg, jet-li, that crazy monkey, did he write this movie>?

  • It would be funny if someone spoiled the ending for everybody else. LOL

  • Ohh Isn't fearless jet lees last movie?

  • ive sen this movie the last 30 min are awesome but the movie is crapy

  • The Move Are VEEEEEERY GOOD =)

  • Wait for Jet-Lee Fearless!

  • the moves look pretty bad in this

  • good action scenes but horrible plot

  • Rented this movie last month. Its the best martial arts film ive ever seen. Apart from som bruce lee stuff of course :)

    It hast he coolest fight scenes scattered all overt he place. You guys will be amazed if u havent seen it yet. I seriously reccommend watching it on sept.8th

  • This looks pretty good, reminds me of bruce lee.

  • This is the best movie ever. I saw this in it's original language.

  • Did you realise the evolution of the flying-knee-kick in this trailer? first he takes down two foes, than the wrestler and at the end the guy hanging under a helicopter.

    So, i'm asking me, what's next? Tony Jaw dropping out of a plane to save the world by double-knee-kicking an Asteroid?

  • lol:)

  • i seen this movie in korea....

    it's 2005 movie... it's prttey good movie...

  • Look at some of you fools talking about Ong Bak 2 - it's not even made yet. Jaa is directing that film himself and is filming it at the moment. Tom Yum Goong is totally unrelated to Ong Bak, even tho a lot of the original Ong Bak cast are in the film.

  • Dont ferget Jackie chan he dos he's own stun1s without help soo yea tony the new guy in town iunno why u guys hate him i saw ong bak 1 and 2 but still it kick ass so yea ... so dont hate dude liek u could do those shit... he may use those stunt bag and wow bet u cant do better can ya??? so shut the hell up ...oh yea Bruce lee/jackie chan/jet li/tony jaa are all good fighters so dont insult them (mostly tony jaa)i do martial arts so i know how they fight

  • This is funny right here. YouTube promoting the trailer of this "The Protector" when they already have the full version of it available.

  • 'Tom Yum Goong' is the original name of this flick... saw this last year and have the dvd.. its good.. anyways I love how Quintin's name is attached to this.. its feels like film makers walk up to him and ask him if he likes there movie.. and if he nods 'yes', his name is attached to it and the movie gets the huge UMPH! in sales.., and if he nods 'no' then there taken out back and shot in the back of the head... gotta love this guy...

  • Damn, that is some good english.

  • i go this movie on Dvd already...

  • i already hav dis movie even though it didnt come out 2 theathre its cuz im asian n i understand it if u wanna download it go 2 limewire or morphes or n e movie download type in onk bak 2 download it

  • man i seen that movie like a year ago

  • bruce lee still the best muahhahahhaha lolz

  • this shit aint some chinesse shit its some Thailand shit..How i know this because i saw this movie a year ago in Thailand! And Automaticly you see an asian doing some crazy shit ya think its kung fu chinesse shit! Well it aint get that fucking straight!Yo WE DONT USE THAT STRINGSZ AND SHIT! Know why i got the movie and at the end they showed how they did it they use nothing but a stunt bag

  • MENTAL

  • FUCKIN

  • LOOKS

  • its spelled you not u?

  • the movie may be from thailand, but with this kind of action, and some special effect added to it, you might wanna buy popcorn, cause this movie is off the chain.

    great action.

  • uh dude theres not special effects he does all of this for real well... the hitting isnt but all of the stunts the guy is doing is him

  • everybody can it at your daily china town for 5 dollars.
