A kick-ass martial arts thill ride on steroids!!!
The Matrix wouldn't have needed that many CGI or wire gags had they known about Panna and his amazing stunt team. Born To Figh is the ultimate action junkie's dream come true!
- RavishingRickRude, Clovis, California | March 16, 2007
Crazy as hell!
Balls to the wall non-stop action! The ultimate kick-ass movie!
- Randy Savage, California | March 16, 2007
Can't wait.

Awesome stunts
A film with some of the most amazing stunts you will ever see, i really felt for the stunt men!
- Rezaul Kabir, London UK | March 18, 2007
Awesome!
Hardcore wrestling mixed with Ong Bak with a little bit o' Gymkata and the audience constantly hopes doesn't become Faces of Death. The stunts are insane and this movie keeps the pedal to the medal through it's whole running time. An easy purchase.

Damn good stunt work and violent as hell! Not for the Sqemish.
Saw this one when it was a Thai dvd release, w/ no subtitles a year or so ago. My brother translated it as we watched. he said that they used the Thai national gymastics team in this movie. The action coreograhpy was done by Panna Ritikrai, the same guy that did the action directing for Ong-Bak and The protector. I forget the main characters name, but he's an under study of Panna's just like Tony Jaa. He's pretty impresive in this movie. There are a lot of crazy ass stunts in this movie, and they show alot of people getting mowed down by machine-guns. I don't know if they will be able to release this one un-cut or not. This will be on my need to purchase list. Don't miss it. I hope that Dragon Dynasty picks up Dynamite Warrior as well, it has the same star and action director as well. Peace for now, and keep purchasing this stuff, or they won't bring any more over.

I haven"t seen the movie.
there is not a whole lots to say
- just a movie lover, beaumont ca | April 05, 2007
thailand is a serious contender for the action genre
I purchased this project through a friend of mine after seeing the trailer on line. I found it to be extremely a great gratifying and entertainment piece. Panna and his team go all out with the stunts and the martial arts are incredibly delivered. I've loved this genre since I was a young boy and have had the estemed pleasure of meeting Chuck Norris, sho kosugi and Jackie Chan! These talents are what the fans thrive on action, action and more action. Look no further to salivate your appetite with this film. It is simply fantastic
- Abby Estrella, New York City | April 11, 2007
crazy action
this like tony jaa,bruce lee,jackie chan but better this movie is the best since jet lei's hero and fearless i think i would love this movie and also a game would be great for the p.s.3 and xbox 360 this movie is the best.
- christian caviness, vandergrift.PA | April 21, 2007
Kick Ass!
This film is great the best fights i have ever seen. Panna is a true master the only film i have of him is Spirited killer, were can i find the first born to fight staring him?
- Keith Kedenburg, Lauderhill, Florida | April 25, 2007
The best action film of the year!
The stunts & fights are an adrenaline rush! the whole movie great, it's a true kick ass action movie more flims like this need to come out so the fans can see them. Do you know where i can fined the frist born to fight staring Panna Rittigrai?
- Anthony LaBarbra- corbizito@aol.com, Sunrise, Florida | April 25, 2007
Action fans dream come true...
While the plot and story are not up to par we are saved by some of the most inventive, and down right insance fight choregraphy and stunt work. How one of the stunt team did not meet his end during the making of his action epic is beyond me. I look forward to more from Panna and his stunt team in the near future.
- Andrew Gorham, Kalamazoo, Mi | April 26, 2007
Hella Awesome!!
Excellent fighting, awesome stunts, period!! Go buy the movie, you won't be dissapointed, trust me!
- Jin256, Las Vegas, NV | April 29, 2007
Very good action!
I enjoyed this film just as much as Ong Bak & The Protector (T.Y.G.). The storyline is simply an average one but the fight choreography and stunt work from Panna and his stunt team are just amazing. I admired all the heroic characters in this film for their courage to fight back. I highly recommend this film.
- Kj Newell, Washington, DC | April 29, 2007
i thought it was kewl
i like the movie... but just wondering who is the singer of the song that was played at the part when the students first arrive at the village....
- carrie thoj, nc | May 08, 2007
If you loved Ong-Bak, then you will Have a Great time here
Basically Ong-Bak's cousin. Spectacular action scenes. Fan's of gunplay, martial arts, and crazy stunts will have a great time with this film.
- Roberto S. aka NeoOwnz, Miami, FL | May 15, 2007
HOLLYWOOD NEDS TO TAKE NOTES
NOW THIS MOVIE SHOULD BE STUDIED SO THAT WHEN HOLLYWOOD DECIDES TO MAKE SOEM REAL ACTION MOVIES WITH FIGHTSCENES-THEY CAN REFER TO THIS-NO C.G.I OR WIRE WORK. IT IS TIME TO TAKE IT BACK TO HOW BRUCE LEE AND JACKIE CHAN DID IT. MAKE IT AUTHENTIC AND MORE REALISTIC WITH THE ACTION. THE AUDIENCE AIN'T AS GULLABLE AS HOLLYWOOD THINKS!!1
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! GO GET IT!!!!
- PERRY, BRONX,N.Y. | May 23, 2007
I thought it was off the chain.
from the begining to the end it was an adrenaline ride. The characters were very good at what they do.
- Bruce C Powell III, Keene, NH | May 26, 2007
UNBELIEVABLE ACTION INSANITY
Fan of Ong Bak? Prepare to be absolutely blown away!!!
- BVI, Boston | May 28, 2007
story could use some work
great action at times, but the story is lacking somewhat. Miles from the quality of the protector.
In addition it does feel like a low budget film in certain areas.
- Mo, New york, New york | May 29, 2007
Honestly...
I honor the actors choreography and hard work (stunts), but if they really were trying to impress for classic and memories... I can't really remember a highlight. Nothing spectacular to keep me distracted from this film's common, typical, awful-than-dung storyline... Grade F++; yes, that is two pluses... maybe even six. I couldn't help what I just last mentioned, altho this whole "Grade-F" storyline could be a whole dif story to discuss bout (I know). The hell w/ it - Yes, I know usually in action films, u should walk in the theater expecting no storyline and only to be in awe of "action" sequences, but my little 11 yrs. old brother, who makes little choppy action comic strips entertains me more AT THE LEAST.
Sorry Panna... oh, and a tip, please don't do dramatic, sentimental scenes like u were aimin for an Oscar, when u didn't really have a storyline in the first place. This movie was like the semi-docu-horror The Killing Fields and Shaolin Soccer combined... aside the story being with-not-enough-words-in-thesaurus-for-"senseless"... it's just disturbing how easily, w/ unbiased-ness, I'm bashing this movie; and I understand if u didn't care bout logic while making this film. But no more soccer balls bouncing off walls, then thinking the impact from flying in mid-air long distance is still gon knock out a dude!
- Manna, Portland, Oregon | July 02, 2007
it's no Ong Bak
But, then again, what is? The beginning was a little slow, and the story comes a little short, but the action was SO BIG. On a modest budget, some of the scenes look like they could only have one take, however, they made due. The stunts were ridiculous. Watch and enjoy.
- Josh, Kansas City, Mo | July 08, 2007
THIS FILM HAS MUCH ASS KICKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I could not get enough of this film & I never will!!!!It has some of the most unique fight sequenses I have ever seen in a movie!!!!I know you will enjoy this,no strings attached,literaly!!!!(HeeHee)
- Kyoaku, Lawton,Oklahoma | July 15, 2007
Dumploads of fun
But mindless fun, and pretty much the corniest thing ever. The stunts are incredibly fantastic, and the special features really good at highlighting this, but overall the movie is only okay. When the fighting gets going, it gets going very well, but the entire rest of the movie is either laughable or painful. This is definitely a skip-to-the-fight-scenes movie if I've ever seen one. Take a peek at it anyways, though, because this movie features some of the most dangerous and impressive stuntwork I've come across in years of watching martial arts movies.
- Spence, Missouri | July 21, 2007
What were they thinking?
Somehow the main character goes from a decent rookie officer and having trouble with even the most meager of opponents to be flatout excellent. Along with his crack pot team of misfit heroes and bad CG and poor stunt work(until the tag end) this movie is a far cry from Ong Bok or the protector and really just seems like a ploy to make fast cash off the success of the two movies stated prior. The main character shows promise but doesn't have the energy or form that Jaa does but hopefully we will see stronger performances from him in the future. If not, at least we have Jaa.
- Tyler R., Texas | July 25, 2007
Tiring in a good way
This film was great. Just plain fighting, people getting blown away and stuff blowin' up, just what we need! The story is ok, but the action makes up for it. The last 45 to 50 minutes of the film is just mayhem!!!! I was tired when the film was over and I was in bed while watching it!!!!
- Rafael Santiago, United States | August 21, 2007
I can't wait to watch it!
I just recently acquired the original at Wal-Mart thinking it was this one. It was a great movie, but I can't wait to get my hands on this updated one!
- Johnny S, SD, USA | October 14, 2007
Adrenaline pumped mayhem!
I bought this DVD for one thing and one thing only: the action. And the movie fulfills that to the fullest. I wasn't looking for a deep storyline to immerse myself with but something to make me say, "Holy crap." And the movie did it wonderfully.
- Tony Nguyen, Alsip, Illinois | November 05, 2007
Great entertainment!
Honestly, I didn't even get a full grasp of the story. The action spoke for itself!
- Ross Pho3nix, Indianapolis, IN | March 31, 2008
Love dragon dynasty films, but hated this one.
This movie was pretty bad. Bottom line is it is a video game movie. This 'main' actor Dan Chupong has about zero screen presence and if it wasn't for him on the cover, you wouldn't even know he was the star. Also the film basically is trying to live off Tony Jaa's films (Dan looks just like him)
The fighting was horrible and the stunts, although dangerous, certainly were not worth the trouble they went to for 'no CGI, no strings'
Above all, this was just a bad, rotten film with a mind numbing plot and even more mind numbing action....just horrible...BUT I LOVE DRAGON DYNASTY--Keep those classics coming!
- Vinnie, Canada | September 05, 2008
Great little flick.
This is Asian action at its best. Now, there is action that makes no sense and there is action that makes no sense. As I said in my Dragon Heat review; when you have 2 snipers running towards each other in a narrow alley both shooting at each other but no one gets hurt- that is a little over the line for me. On the other hand, the action in Bron to Fight, as over the top as it might seem, did not bother me at all. I actually enjoyed it all.(whether a soccer ball hitting an armed terrorist would actually disarm him or not).
The stunts are insane. More than once during the movie I was asking myself "who's this insane stuntman? What was he thinking? That being thrown off of the top of a moving truck onto another moving truck and then onto the ground seems like a good idea?"
Nothing in this movie seemed cheap to me as some other reviewers mentioned. It is all top class Oriental action movie. The guy in the lead role is not Jaa. So what? He is still an incredible stuntman.
I highly recommend this film to you. Asian action films should not be taken too seriously as far as plot and making sense is concerned. As long as it is not too insulting for the brain and the action is really happenning, join the ride and have a good time. I will definitely watch this movie over and over again.
- Nir, Israel | October 25, 2008
it was pretty good
i think that born to fight was a pretty good picture he played his role well and so did the rest of the cast. overall the movie was pretty good!
- yaw osei-duro, meadow brook ct | November 20, 2009

- Stevano, New York City | December 31, 2008
The Real Hardwork
Since childhood am being watching Bollywood movies and a bit of Hollywood movies........but has never seen any hero as hardworking as TonyJaa.Real hero of the Reel reality.TonyJaa u rock..am deeply flattered by ur stunts...Three cheers..oops nt 3 bt unlimited cheers for TonyJaa.
- Miss Rohini, India | February 22, 2009
Graet
It could of been better if Tony Jaa was in it though.
- Rob, califoria | March 04, 2009
It was one of my least favorites from dragon dynasty. When I think of dragon dynasty I think of action, non-stop explosive fight scenes.
Where I'm from its hard to find dragon dynasty movies,and its very disappointing. I'm a huge martial arts fan. I have a few movies by dragon dynasty but my goal is to collect all of them. I host a martial arts movie party twice a month and it allowed me to put a lot of people on to dragon dynasty movies.
- Darrius A. Tyler I, Danville, Illinois 61832 | May 13, 2009

- Robyn, Big Island of Hawaii | June 07, 2009
Much But kicking!!
I live in a small city of only about 50,000 people so i have to travel or score the net for my fu flicks. I finally tracked down a copy and now have all but 2 DD releases. This movie was sooo worth the wait. The action is insane!! Why cant American producers figure this out? The new streetfighter movie couldnt carry Born to fights jock strap! So how about Ong Bak 2?
