TOM YUM GOONG 2

What are the odds that you get struck by lightning twice ? Well, it has happened to Kham. His sacred elephant Khon has been stolen again. This time the poachers are employed by an evil criminal organization led by Mr. LC who wants to blackmail Kham into killing the president of Katana in order to seize power for himself. He puts further pressure on Kham by framing him for murder. With unlikely allies Ping Ping, the daughter of his alleged victim, and the blundering police officer Mark, Kham has to stay out of Interpol’s clutches, thwart LC’s plans and save his beloved elephant. The incredible success of Ong Bak and the first Tom Yum Goong movie, catapulted Tony Jaa to the top of the martial arts world. But pressure and stress seemed to get the better of him. And after the box office flop of Ong Bak 2, his career appeared to be on a downward slope. With the help of the team that launched him, among whom director Prachya Pinkaew and co-star JeeJa Yanin, Tony Jaa makes a triumphant return with Tom Yum Goong 2. This time he has to face two formidable adversaries: director, actor, composer and rapper RZA ( Wu Tang Clan, Ghost Dog, The Man With The Iron Fists ) as Mr. LC and martial arts sensation Marrese Crump ( The Man With The Iron Fists ) as his lieutenant.
