This movie says it stars him, at least thats how they market it, but really hes barely in it. Don't be fooled. Its not a bad movie though, but if your like me, and the only reason you saw this movie was for Tony Jaa action, you'll definitely be disappointed. Hes almost not in the movie. I don't know why they ever advertise the fact hes in this at all.
The movie however with that aside is actually quite funny. Like the people said before me, its got the cast from the other movies and is really a funny combination of humor. It barely had action and was almost a romantic comedy. Its really not a bad movie but its everything you wouldn't want. I can't believe I rented this movie,

Well... what can I say? When I watched this movie I thought that it was a Thai action movie like "Ong Bak", "Born to fight" or "Chocolate". Instead of that, what I found was a comedy action (sometimes a very crazy comedy) so my first reaction was to wonder "what the hell is this?". But that was my mistake, don't you think so? After changing my expectations while I was watching the film, I found myself laughing sometimes (hysterically at a couple of jokes). Not bad if I think that I'm not so easy to laugh. But what I primarily liked was the relation between the young heir and the girl from the suburbs and her family and neighbors. That was a nice touch, obviously not very developed in a movie like this but anyway nice and likable. Not bad at all, yes... Sometimes it's silly but it has its moments too. My two sons liked it, probably more than me. But I didn't dislike it either, so I give it 6 out of 10.
I saw this movie a while ago.. I must admit, it was very funny.. The idea of this bodyguard WongKom, who gets fired after the death of his client is just of those clichés.
But then later on, WongKom realises that a group of assassins are after the client's son, so that they can their hands on the fortune..
There were some funny scenes, good one liners.. Fights scenes and shoot out scenes, they were great.. Just like what you may've seen in another film ONG-BAK..
I think with this guy Petchai WongKomlao.. I think he'll be Asia's next Jackie Chan. So he used to be a comedian, unlike another Asian favourite, Takeshi Kitano.. But now as he takes the director's chair.. He really gave the film a good going over.. with all the thrills and spills of any action movie and combined with a bit of a slapstick humour just to add to all the fun..
I manage to see the behind-the-scenes featurette, which basically looks at the film on how it was made, as well as having the cast and crew interviews.. Well, not much crews.. But I must say, I've enjoyed it..
It was very good! A thumbs up! 9 out of 10!

The Bodyguard (2004) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a bodyguard who is fired when the man he is hired to protect is murdered by a rival gang. Despite being fired, he seeks revenge for the murder in hopes of redeeming himself from his mistakes and to ensure the son of the murdered man stays alive. This movie is codirected by Panna Rittikrai (Ong Bak 2 & 3) and Petchtai Wongkamlao (The Bodyguard 2) and also stars Wongkamlao (Ong Bak), Tony Jaa (Ong Bak) and Pumwaree Yodkamol (The Protector). The storyline does a great job of not taking itself too seriously and focuses on the comedic content, crazy one-liners and cartoon like characters. The action scenes are just okay, but the props and choreography are clever. The final fight scene is awesome and definitely worth a viewing. This is one of those movies that is filled with it or miss elements. This isn't a waste of time but isn't worth going too far out of your way to see it either. I would score this a 5/10.
i was say i was very disappointed in this movie, being that on the DVD cover was a picture of Tony Jaa.so i thought he would be in a great deal of the movie along with that other guy. but i was wrong tony jaa had ONE DAMN SCENE. and that guy who plays the body guard was not funny, and i don't know what kind of dope the guy was smoking to make him say he is asia's next Jackie Chan.as far as action or lack there of their was'nt the shooting scene suck(not of John Woo Caliber at all) and the wires used in the stunts where so obvious. this movie only saving grace is the it happy some halfway decent comedy dialogue. but if your looking for action this is not the movie to get.
