haha, OldBoy is an awesome film.. Though its more "random violence" than anything resembling martial arts.. Still a good film and a good clip ;D

Muay Thai teaches not to strike unless it will seriously damage the opponent. Useless blows only open up your defense. The knee and elbow attacks Muay Thai is known for are some of the most devastating blows of any martial arts style.
Whether or not the blows are delivered in an effective way...I've never seen a guy stand there waiting to get hit in a real fight. Even if unable to dodge or block a strike there would be some kind of reaction before the strike hits. That's what I meant with regards to the look of the Ong Bak fights.

As much as I loved those fight in Old Boy, Hero and Kungfu Hustle, I have to share some of mine :P

Ending fight from Iron Monkey, a classic kungfu film featuring young Donnie Yen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN1Mu... Fight [HQ

This might not be kungfu but its the ending fight from the rawest,weirdest and coolest film ever...Takashi Miike's Ichi the Killer


Enjoy and fight on
