Talk:Tony Jaa

message: Is he really a thai monk? I think it is more likely that he just spend a few months in a monastry as a monk. I think this is quite common in south east asia. But this does not make him a monk--89.246.163.4 (talk) 16:42, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

text: Well just about most of South East Asia is a mix of some other race; alot of folks are mix Vietnam and Cambodia due to the wars.
I wouldn't suggest it is a "fuss" or a "controversy", merely the truth. He's Khmer Leu, highland Khmer. Elephants are their thing. The Khmer Leu were Angkor's war machine, providing the war elephants for the Khmer Empire. It's not putting a race issue, it's merely noting his ethnicity. He's a Thai national, but not ethnic-Thai.KhProd1 (talk) 07:59, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Khmer Leu are Thai people who live in south of northeastern Thailand, they speaks Thai language, but with some Khmer tones and vocabularies sometimes. However, they are Thai. They are not Khmer. If he is half-Cambodian he is half. But if he is full Thai he is Thai. --Passawuth (talk) 02:15, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Apparently, Tony Jaa is in a new movie called The Protector, according to this released poster.  There doesn't seem to be an article about the film or a mention about this movie in the person's article.  Is anyone willing to find the time to look into this? Erik 22:27, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, that's the title being used on the American DVD as well.  You can rent it from Netflix but be aware if you want to watch the uncut version, you need to rent the 2nd disc.  the first disc only has a very seriously edited version plus some extras.  Disc 2 has the full Thai version of the film with english subtitles.LiPollis 07:00, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Uh, the current looks rather odd.
Muay Thai, Muay Boran, Aikido, Pencak Silat, Capoeira, Wushu, Krabi Krabong and Taekwondo
Muay Thai, Aikido, Krabi Krabong, and Taekwondo - These I can see.
Pencak Silat, Capoeira, Wushu - I have doubts. Was it because some moves in the movie just happen to look similar? Especially, how do you define the phrase 'have skills in'? Does that mean he's the certified master of these arts, or just someone who got 30 minutes lesson from someone? And aren't Muay thai and Muay Boran cutting it pretty close? They are quite similar. Better get some sources to go with these first.Suredeath 16:01, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

:Tony is Rumored to portray the Shaolin Monk Liu Kang\The Enigmatic Ninja Ermac In Mortal Kombat Devastation(Aka Mortal Kombat III).This Info was taken from a mail sent by Mortal Kombat Master 777, a Member of the Bulgarian-English Fansite Mortal Kombat Secrets,to the Producers of the Film.

message: The following was added in under a "Friend" subheading under "Skills" by Bryangohigans:
:"His best friend that he still keeps in touch with is David Lim."
While it is nice to have friends, I feel such information is not really encyclopedic. However, if it could be established how Tony and David became acquainted, what have they collaborated on, etc., then that's the kind of information that could find its way into the article. – WiseKwai |  Talk | Contribs 21:51, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm currently training Muay Thai in Thailand with a guy who claims to have beaten Tony Jaa in a professional Muay Thai fight. My trainer is only two years younger than Jaa and comes from the same part of Isaan so his claim to have gone to school with him is plausible, but I would like some way of verifying Tony Jaa's fight record. The general opinion I hear from Thai people is he makes good films but was crap at real Muay Thai, so no doubt if he had fought my trainer (who used to be very successful in Bangkok) he would have lost, but my trainer's  english isn't perfect (he's from a pretty poor part of thailand and has just picked it up from falang fighters like me) so there may be some translation issues. It would be cool to be trainer with a guy who once beat Tony Jaa so if anyone could verify this and add it to the page that would be great. I'll try looking myself but learning Thai script is pretty hard going to I wont be able to check any thai websites for a while

replies: text: I think your trainer is trying to impress people with this. :) Tony Jaa - as far as I have read in several interviews - was trained to be a Muay Thai Stuntman since he was 15. Which means that he never competed in the ring.  So it might also be doubtful that they went to the same fight school, since Jaa has trained with Panna Rittikrai. So I would say it's pretty unlikely your trainer ever had a real fight with Tony Jaa. Just like Jet Li, Jaa is an athlete and martial arts actor. These people use their skills for a show and entertainment. 小龙 (Timish) #   xiǎolóng de xìnxiāng  14:53, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

The "Transliteration" is the titles used in the IMDB web site. I doubt they were ever used on a DVD or film.
Nuk leng klong yao may not be a "Tony Jaa" film per a user review on IMDB. It's not listed on his Thai filmography.
The table above is a working table. If you can figure out some of the English language releases then please feel free to update the table. --Marc Kupper|talk 07:42, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
