The Protector (Thailand, 2005)

In Bangkok, the young Kham was raised by his father in the jungle with elephants as members of their family. When his old elephant and the baby Kern are stolen by criminals, Kham finds that the animals were sent to Sidney. He travels to Australia, where he locates the baby elephant in a restaurant owned by the evil Madame Rose, the leader of an international Thai mafia. With the support of the efficient Thai sergeant Mark, who was involved in a conspiracy, Kham fights to rescue the animal from the mobsters.

If you've seen Ong-bak: Muay Thai Warrior (2003), you know what to expect from Tony Jaa, who plays the main character. And with The Protector, he delivers yet again, with explosive violence and so much bone crushing fist fights that you wonder if they really can keep it up all the way? The answer is yes. Plus, The Protector features one of the best fight sequences ever made, all shot in one take. 

Genre: Action/Crime
