I'm sure there's contractual issues aswell with his career that he's probably sitting out till they pass.

He'll always have his elephants.

He better watch that he doesn't disregard his contractual agreements, lest he find an elephant's head in his bed! *cue the Godfather theme*

Right I've seen this, whilst a decent watch it is very flawed. The camera work and photography is MILES above any other Thai action film I've seen but the film itself is all over the shop.

Remember the broken limb kung fu promise? No such thing, he's a cripple then gets caked in mud and heals prompting 20 minutes of traditional dance. Then develops a new fighting style that seems the exact as the old. There is decent action but it is very one sided, especially the end fight.

The film itself is just spolit by silly choices such as the dancing and a focus on the Thai king/warlord in a sort of Macbeth scenario along with a false ending guaranteed to piss you off.

Elephants don't actually feature much :o

I'm sorry, what?? Well you can forget that then, a Tony Jaa film without elephants is like a broken pencil... pointless!

Don't get me wrong, there's dream elephants and fighting elephants, it's just not wall to wall elephants. I wanted it trunk to tail throughout! :lol:

Well looks as if the elephants will be making the films by themselves as Tony has ran off to sit and contemplate life, the world and everything :?

I'd gladly watch a movie with an elephant kneeing people in the face ;)

But I think Tony will be back, let's just hope he stays in shape and doesn't come back as big as an elephant :?
