The Protector
Besides Seven Swords, The Weinstein Company has another action-packed Dragon Dynasty film coming our way on January 16th with Tony Jaa's The Protector. In anticipation of this release, we have been given a couple copies to give away (below).
The Protector on DVD January 16th
In this relentless, fast paced action film spiced with Muay Thai moves, Kham’s (Tony Jaa) life is turned upside down when a notorious Asian gang steals his family’s prized elephants, which were to be offered as a token of devotion to His Majesty the King of Thailand, and smuggles them to Australia. Kham must travel to a foreign land to unravel a conspiracy that will reach into the highest levels of the Australian government. With the help of a disgraced Thai-born police detective, he must reclaim his beloved animals and stay true to his heritage against almost impossible odds.
When I say "action-packed" I mean "action-packed". The fight sequences in The Protector take up 60 of the 83 minute running time. And, fortunately for us, this film does not use the ever-so-common wires that cause fighters to look like they are defying gravity.
