WHERE IS MY ELEPHANT?

I just watched Tom Yum Goong last night, which featured Tony Jaa the Muy Thai master, in a similar style martial arts flick as the original Ong Bak. The movie’s plot quickly degenerates after the first few minutes and becomes a sort of ridiculous Hong-Kong martial arts style movie.

The protagnoist, played by Tony Jaa, grows up in a Thai village with elephants. When the elephants that he grew up with are kidnapped, he journeys to Sydney, Australia to try to capture them.

The best parts of the movie are when Jaa runs into the scene yelling, “WHERE IS MY ELEPHANT!?!” It can be anything – a business meeting, a press conference, a brothel – that is his opening line.

Smashed with Elephant Bones

The second best part is when not one, but FOUR WWE wrestler come into fight Jaa. Jaa smashes and slashes them to bits with…elephant bones.

This seems to be perfectly in line with my post from yesterday about the WWE, but I watched the movie AFTER I wrote the post. Which made it that much funnier – to me.

In case you were wondering what Tom Yung Goong means, it’s the name of the restaurant. It refers to a Thai soup made with prawns.
