The wires thing is kool if done right, it is often more artform and creativity.
Such as the movie Hero.... which is top cinema-artistic stuff.
The guy who plays the spearweilding Sky in Hero, Donnie Yen is a top martial artist and prolly my fav.
Check out his parts in Iron Monkey, Once Upon a Time in China II, Highlander Endgame, Blade II (plus a heap of earlier HK fliks).
Some have wirework but without wires he is so awesome, it is his execution and expressions of the way he executes movements.
-----------------
Ong Bak.
Heard so much, and want too see it bad.
Havent even seen previews.
But what I do know is, I have seen alot of real Muay Thai boxing.
And it is not an "excitement" style of martial art really, quite rough and even random.... kinda hard to word what I am thinking.
But for people to be jumping up and down about how spectacular the fight scenes are in Ong Bak... I am starting to wonder how much of it is actually Muay Thai. They do use knees and elbows often but yea.....
even the ring scenes in Kickboxer between Tong Po and a thai adversary.... not anything like any Muay Thai fight I have seen; alot of low and high round houses, hugging and kneeing simultaneously etc...
