Kham is the last in long line of guards who once watched over the King of Thailand’s war elephants. Traditionally, only the perfect elephants could successfully help defend the throne, after his harrowing quest to retrieve the elephants, Kham returns to his village to live in peace.

Viewing Notes

I actually forgot this was released so I rented the Blu-ray at Family Video for 50 cents. Definitely got my money’s worth (even with the $1 late fee). The CG FX are mostly awful and the 3D stuff is silly but I like the over the top characters and fight sequences. Wish there was a better story for them.

Nothing here close to the previous movie but I still enjoyed this esp. Ping Ping (JeeJa Yanin). The stunt work is crazy and even more insane that Tony Jaa does all his stunts. The making-of featurettes are fun to watch.
