Awesome fight scene

Which stunts are you thinking of?

Don't get me wrong, District B13 was a tight little film, I liked it a lot, but it didn't compare to Ong-Bak on any level. The free-running stuff (especially the opening sequence) was cool, but nothing that compared to Tony Jaa jumping a moving car, running on people's shoulders, sliding (in the splits) UNDER a car, no-hands cartwheeling between two panes of glass... I mean, seriously.

And I'm not even mentioning the whole ON FIRE portion of the film.

Which bits in B13 blew you away so much? Like I say, the opening free-running sequence WAS awesome, for sure, but after that... well, it was great, but it wasn't INSANE. It was just very very very well done. But Ong-Bak made me freak right out, and everyone in the audience with me.

District B13 also suffered from aggressive over-cutting throughout, something Ong-Bak did a much better job with. But still, it's a great little film and everyone should go see it.

I think David Belle does more interesting (and IMO, more impressive) stuff with less than Tony Jaa does with all those triple-replay, set piece stunts. Less is more, to each his own, and a couple of other cliches.

D00d, agreed.

I saw District B13 this weekend while it was fun it was no ONG BAK.

ONG BAK was just sick. It still is SICK. It's a movie that gets repeat play in my house just for the fights and the stunts alone.

District B13, not so much. The fights were cut like someone was shooting at the editor and he was dodging bullets while trying to use the AVID. and all of the Parkauer (sp?) stuff were things that I've seen before on videos on the web.
