Rawkin Muay Thai Action Flick
I don't know what to say, he's bordering that infamous line, "The Next Bruce Lee". There is alot of incredible fight sequences and lots of horrifically dangerous stuntwork and I'm very excited to hear rumor it will be coming to the US. I recommend seeing this or finding an e-bay copy of this flick - David , posted 09/03/04
