If it weren't for the superstar Tony Jha, I wouldn't have known there was such a cow movie in the world called "Boxer"

In asia today, Two of Pigo's favorite action stars are Tony Jay and Ico Uas.

Born in 1976 in Surin, Thailand, Tony Jai was born into a wealthy family in Surin, Thailand, and his family could afford to raise elephants, so although he began practicing martial arts at the age of 10, he never went into the ring.

After watching the movie "Born Tom" directed and starred by Pana Ritikle, known as "Jackie Chan of Thailand", he was determined to worship him as a teacher. He later practiced martial arts such as taekwondo, Muay Thai, Chinese swordplay and stick at Mahabharata Sport University, and after graduation, he followed Pana and ran a dragon suit as a stand-in in his movie.

As early as 1994, Tony Jia starred in his first film "Invincible Killer", but at that time, due to low cost, the films were not released, but directly made into a DVD distribution, which was once popular in Thailand.

It wasn't until 2003 that Pana Zhitikle made a bloody decision to co-write with Plachia Pinkyao and directed by Plachia Pinkyao to launch the epoch-making action film Boxer.

At that time, Tony Jia, who was 27 years old at the time, was fortunate to become the male protagonist of the movie with his excellent physical fitness.

As a Thai film, "Boxer" has a simple and strong religious atmosphere, revolving around a lost Buddha's head.

The film tells the story of a knife-scarred Buddha in the village of Batu in eastern Thailand.

One day, the village gangster Paduan stole the Buddha's head and took it to the city to sell. As a result, the village of Batu was hit by drought, and the land was cracked and the crops dried up.

The villagers, who had little money left, took out all the money from their families, raised a little money for the road, and entrusted Thebadu (Played by Tony Jia), an orphan who grew up in a Buddhist temple and was raised by a monk, to the city to find the Buddha's head.

Ah Tian came to the city and first went to find his fellow villager Hong to help, wanting to live with him temporarily.

Unexpectedly, Hong Lai had lived in the city for a long time, and he had already been contaminated with bad habits and was no longer a devout Buddhist.

Because he owed a large gambling debt, he stole Ah Tian's travel expenses and bet all the money on the underground boxing casino to turn over the money.

When Ah Tian learned about it, he rushed to the bar where the boxing match was held, and in order to get the money, he had to fight a boxer named Luland, but defeated him with only one move.

Ah Tian originally just wanted to get the money and leave, but the masters in the arena refused to let him go easily.

Therefore, Ah Tian had to fight against the macho Bibei and the Japanese master Dorjira.

Notice that in this segment there is a hidden cow man, the old man who sells cigarettes is a cameo by legendary Japanese director Takeshi Kitano.

I have to say that Tony Ja's starting resources are really good

Until finally defeating the strongest master tattooed man in the arena, the audience was shocked.

The owner behind the underground boxing match, Kangtu, suffered heavy losses due to Ah Tian's victory, and it turned out that he had bought the Buddha's head from Ba Duan's hand.

Kangtu has a plan, he grabs Hong Lai and Hong Lai's friend Mu Wei, and asks Hong to find Ah Tian to play a noose Muay Thai boxing match on the Thai-Burmese border, against Kang Tu's bodyguard, the Burmese boxer Sha Ming. He promised that as long as Ah Tian won, Kangtu would return the Buddha's head.

In fact, Kangtu has already arranged everything, Sha Ming's strength is not under Ah Tian, and he injected a lot of stimulants before the game, and Ah Tian's chances of winning are close to zero.

On the day of the match, because Sha Ming had been in a state of excitement, Ah Tian's heavy punch on his body was like a mud cow into the sea, and it had no effect on him at all.

In the end, Ah Tian was beaten to exhaustion by Sha Ming and eventually lost.

Konto gave Ah Tian a little medical expenses and wanted to send him away. Ah Tian then fought back, but was shot and killed by KangTu's men along with Hong Lai.

After Kangtu left, Ah Tian and Hong Lai together killed the two gunmen, and discovered Kangtu's base camp in the cave, and the two of them directly attacked the Yellow Dragon.

It turned out that this cave was the place where Kangtu had secretly hidden the Buddha statues stolen from all over the world, and Ah Tian passed the pass and killed one of Kangtu's company's men, and finally fought a second battle with Sha Ming.

Although Sha Ming repeated the trick to inject himself with stimulants, Ah Tian had the small strength attributes of a Saint Seiya, and any trick could not be used twice in front of him.

Therefore, Ah Tian hit Sha Ming's head with a heavy fist and a heavy knee attack, and finally defeated him.

The evil Kangtu is eventually crushed to death by the fallen Buddha's head, and the Buddha finally appears, and the film returns to the theme of religion.

Pigo has always said that Tony Jai's movements are based on Muay Thai and taekwondo. Its moves are all Muay Thai boxing styles, but the 720-degree slalom kick and the difficult aerial kick are all taekwondo moves.

Therefore, his martial arts moves combine the fierceness of Muay Thai with the flamboyance of taekwondo, which is pleasing to the eye.

The most incredible thing is that Tony Jia's actions were actually done without the use of wire assist and zero doubles, which is why he was able to quickly explode the world.

Because Tony Jia is a Jackie Chan fan, the film also adds a lot of difficult chases and parkour action scenes, although it is very deliberate but amazing.

Many people were quickly circled by him for this reason, and many of Pi ge's friends said that when they saw these actions, they all thought that this was the real Jackie Chan successor.

The most interesting thing is that the film also adds a flying car chase scene, but it uses a Thai landmark tricycle, showing the local characteristics.

As an action movie, starting from the Buddhist culture of Thailand, a large number of cultural symbols with local characteristics have been added, which also play a role in promoting culture while creating movies, which is the usual means of Jackie Chan movies in the 90s!

The kung fu at the bottom of our pressure box was accidentally learned by others, and we ourselves are still hanging Weiye, which is the reason why domestic kung fu action movies have sunk!
