Tony Jaa in ORDER TO KILL - DVD coming soon

Postby Brian Thibodeau » Fri Aug 12, 2005 2:37 pm

This title was added to DDDHouse's release schedule today, but I don't know much about it. Looks older, judging by the picture of Jaa on the sleeve. Anybody ever heard of this?

Yikes, first I've heard of any film Tony Jaa was in before Ong Bak except some minor stuntman work. The film is on Thai DVD, but ethaicd makes no mention of Tony:

I'd be very suspicious!

I'm quite intrigued by this though:

Man, I LOVE that Thai DVD cover!! Hubba hubba!

Anyways, that sure LOOKS like Tony Jaa on the right hand side. I know he went by the name Panom Yeerom before adopting his current moniker. Perhaps he had another screen name we don't know about? If so, and this title is from those days, I'd imagine quality could be a crapshoot.

Anyways, I'm going back to stare at that sleeve for a while.

My Thai friend translated this sleeve and she says that there is no mention of Tony Jaa or Phanom Yeerum. The guy on the right with the tattoos is Sura "Nicky" Teerakol, a Thai singer/model. The other guy (with glasses) is M Surasak WongThai, quite a famous actor/director in Thailand. I have a feeling they put Tony Jaa (Chaa??) in the title to sell more DVDs. :x
The only other movie I think Tony Jaa has been in was a cameo appearance in action comedy "The Bodyguard", which starred Petchtai Wongkumlao (the bald guy Tony Jaa meets Bangkok).
