Those who love watching fights will love it

The plot is very simple, there are no loopholes, and there is nothing to be missed in such a simple plot. Our protagonist, who came from Thailand to Sydney, has no more than ten lines except "Where's my elephant?". It gives me the impression that he is a simple-minded man with developed limbs, who likes to use violence to solve all problems, and treats animals more than animals. more loving people of the same kind. At the beginning of the film, there is some foreshadowing of the deep relationship between the protagonist and the elephant, but there is basically no mention of how he obtained such a powerful skill. Although his father claimed to have been the imperial guard of the Thai emperor, the villains took the big brother from him. Elephant time didn't cost anything. In addition, the plot setting in some places is a bit far-fetched or even ridiculous. Of course, this is an action movie, and we see mostly its action scenes.

It should be said that Thai action movies have well inherited the mantle of Hong Kong kung fu movies. Judging from this film, the first fight in his hometown has the neat style of Bruce Lee. When the protagonist first arrived in Sydney and was besieged by a group of people playing extreme sports, he had Jackie Chan's agility and ingenuity. Fighting in the water in the temple has Jet Li's style. chic and elegant. Of course, not imitation, but resemblance. The hero's skill is really good, and the martial arts design is also very beautiful. Each fight has its own characteristics, which makes people addicted to watching. In the one-to-one-hundred battle near the climax of the end, the protagonist used a kung fu similar to splitting the muscles and breaking the arms and legs of the villain one by one. I'm craving potato chips again - there's a shadow in my heart. What impressed me the most was the nearly 5-minute long shot that started at about 61 minutes. In the Tom Yum Kung Hotel, the protagonist fought from downstairs to upstairs in order to find his elephant, and successively placed dozens of minions until He rushed into the kitchen. This scene is a huge challenge for the director's scheduling and control ability as well as the male protagonist's physical strength. You must know that this scene is completed in one go. As long as there is a mistake in the middle part, you have to start all over again.

The film also touches on some social issues, such as the crime of Asians in foreign societies, and the dietary traditions of Asians who like to eat wild animals, but due to the limitations of the film's subject matter and genre, it's only so far. There are also some small humors in the film that are more interesting, and the dialogue in the fight against pirated DVDs is quite Feng's comedy style.

Finally, my question. I don't know why the boss in the film is set to be a human monster, and she (?) and her subordinates all speak Chinese with a very strange accent. The performances of these strange Chinese-speaking actors are all too fake. I don't know if there is some kind of innuendo to China, maybe I'm overthinking it.
