aka Tom-Yum-Goong 2 / The Protector 2
Warrior King (2005) had some minor use of green screen but the stunts performed in front of it were dangerously real. The sequel uses the screen often and goes further by adding wire-work. There’s no law that says Tony Jaa can’t use wires, but his insistence that they not be used in previous films was what made him exceptional, like Jackie Chan. Remove the exception and you’re left with a great martial artist in a movie that isn't as far removed from Hollywood action as it ought to be; it’s just sweatier.
It’s worth watching to see Jaa and JeeJa Yanin together, though. More of that, please, but in a better film next time.
