The fight between Lateef Crowder and Tony Jaa was way too short

I think that the entire burning temple scene is one of the best fight scenes ever put on film. And the individual fight between Tony Jaa and Lateef Crowder in that scene was nothing short of amazing. But it was way too short. Those two could have gone 20 minutes and it would never have gotten boring or repetitive.

Capoeira when done well is such a joy to watch, and the style is criminally underused in martial arts/action movies. In fact, I've only ever seen it in two movies. That's a damn shame.

Agreed. That and the fight scene in the restaurant on several levels, very similar to a 90's videogame. Loved it.

I can think of several movies from the top of my head: Ong Baak, Dead or Alive, The Quest, Only the Strong and Protector.

People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefs
