I total disagree I saw Ong Bak 2 at the Toronto International Film Fest and liked it so much I bought the DVD when it came out. Although I like Ong Bak a little better, I liked Ong Bak 2 more then the Protector ( ... )

I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on Ong Bak 2. The drunken boxing scene was... enh. You could definitely see what he was up to, but the whole *point* of drunken boxing is that the fighter is supposed to seem relaxed and unusually flexible. Jaa did moves that were recognizably from Drunken Boxing, but I'd say 80% of those moments were extremely stiff-looking. The stiff strong posture works great for his usual muay thai work, but to my eyes, he had a really hard time relaxing his body language enough to sell the new style. He had the poses and stances, and his hands in the right places, but not the feeling.
