Never mess with Tony Jaa's Elephants

And I mean never. He will break your arm in 8 places, then kick you in the head as you're flying away in a helicopter. Anyway, go see The Protector if you're in the mood to watch the current king of movie martial arts. You won't need to worry about the plot, because I'll give it away right now: Tony Jaa and his dad raise elephants. Bad men steal the elephants, kill Tony's dad and take the elephants to Sydney, where all evil asian people in movies if they want to talk to white people. Tony Jaa follows them, then kicks everyone's ass. There you go.

There's one scene where I'm pretty sure they just asked Jaa how many different ways he could take someone down while doing (or appearing to do) significant damage to their arms or legs. Then they told about 84 stunt guys to run at him one at a time. Then they added sound effects. Crunch.

Seriously, it's fricking awesome. It gets the official Joe seal of approval.
