the latest news TYG is already 30% shooting and they will geting flight
to AUSTRALIA in october.TYG plan to going to show in Thailand,Singapore,
Hongkong and Japan around FEB.2005. Luc Besson?s company will
disseminate the movie in Europe,USA and orther country might be in June.

I hope he is not going to use elbow and knee so much like in Ong-Bak. I think he just to much of that.

Cant wait to see this movie. I am new to these forums. I come from Londonderry, NH and cant wait to see more of Tony Jaa's action movies. I really hope he becomes a big movie star.

C'on man

elbows and knees are main material of Muay Thai. but I heard Jaa said in Thai TV show months ago, that is in TYG he willing to put an other Thai material art, That mean all of us may be see Jaa use some of Thai weapons stuffs, like Krabee-Krabong ( swords and a long bludgeons) and ancient Thai material art like Muay kachasarn (Muay Thai in elephant style), thats cool....

Yes that's cool but hurry up !! I want to see TYG
Can't wait !

Is it true that EuropaCorp will be distrbuted this movie in France and have the same contract like ONG BAK ???

Yes Europacorp will work with Tony Jaa and his team on 5 movies if my memories are good. There is nothing official yet, but Europacorp may distrbuted Tom Yum Goong in France on june 2005

thanks for your answer :) all my excuses for my poor english 'cause I'm the webmaster from www.lucbesson.fr.st (only in french) Have a good day.

Normally, EuropaCorp will be the international distributor for Europe & America. Is it true ???

C'est exactement ?a ! Mais, encore une fois, c'est ce que j'ai pu lire ici et l?... donc rien d'officiel. Je sais juste que Luc Besson a d?clar? que Europacorp allait suivre l'?quipe de Tony Jaa sur "deux ou trois films" :happy: .

Contente de voir un fran?ais sur le forum

moi aussi content de voir que je ne suis pas le seul(e) fran?ais ? "hanter" ces lieux. Merci pour tes infos, je vais remettre mes fiches ? jour sans divulguer quoi que ce soit, tant que rien n'est officiel !!!
Dans mes contacts, j'ai une jeune fille de Marseille qui voudrait faire un casting pour une ?ventuelle suite de ONG BAK. Aurais-tu une id?e de l'endroit o? je dois l'envoyer ???

Malheureusement, je ne poss?de pas encore le num?ro de t?l?phone de Tony Jaa :tongue:. Mais ton amie peut essayer de le contacter via son fan-club... ou Europacorp

A part ?a, je ne vois pas...

c'est d?j? une r?ponse, merci ? toi et bonne nuit.

ah contente de voir que chuis pas la seule a parler francais(j'ose pas trop poster en anglais parce que je suis pas hyper dou?)en tout cas vivement le prochain film (avec un peu de chance tony reviendra en france :wub: )il doit avoir pas mal d'autres projets en ce moment non?(autre que tom yum goong)

bein ?coute ? ma connaissance ? part TYG (c'est plus simple) et ONG BAK 2, on ne sait rien de plus. A moins que notre v?n?r?e webmaster puisse nous en dire plus. :)

A votre service

Effectivement Tony Jaa a bien en projet un Ong Bak 2 et TYG bien-s?r.
Mais il a aussi parl? d'un film d'?poque relatant les exploits d'un ancien champion thailandais. Vous pouvez jeter un oeil dans le topic Nexts projects, il y a des tas d'infos...

Tout est en anglais c'est vrai, mais c'est le seul moyen pour tous nous comprendre sachant que la majorit? des visiteurs de ce forum sont japonais, thailandais ou cor?ens... En fait, on parle tous un anglais tr?s approximatif mais au moins on se comprend .

PS : salut sasuki

So keep a eye on the site !!
http://imdb.com/name/nm1388074

In ongbak we saw tuk-tuk chasing scene. In TYK, we are going to see engined-boat-chasing scene.
That is what I have heard from Prachya.

Oh~ God~!! 'engined-boat-chasing' !!!!!
Like the 'James bond'..
But Jaa is more fantastic than 007.
Expecting!!

Thanks for the news

I think this movie's gonna be pretty good !!!

hmmm... RoB if you don't use knees and elbows then it won't be much of a Muay Thai movie... more like a more brutal form of kickboxing... and we don't want that do we?

But my question is.... why is the movie title a food name? anyone know?

Tom Yum Goong meaning Spicy Prawn Soup

OK.... this is my guess.
Thai government is trying to push Thai food and Thai kitchen all around the world. Most of popular Thai foods are Phad Thai, TomYumKoong, Tom Kha, etc.

I think the movie's name is kind of one of the plan for promoting Thailand and Thai food. Actually, the name itself can promote the movie also since TomYumKoong is already popular in many countries.

Another guess is Jaa fighting is like TomYumKoong: Hot spicy and kick ass.

And one more...

Tony Jaa's movie woth out knees and elbows.?!?!
common! Are you kidding me?
Those are what Phanom is for.

Hi,nice meet you.

Well, maybe his hope is let us know about Thai culture.
in my opinion, so not sure. :tongue:

:oops2:
I was late. ongkot already answered.

curced typing. ㅡ.ㅡ;;;;

Jaa said that the 'taste' of this movie is HOT AND SPICY like Thai soup Tomyumkoong

:laugh:

You're RIGHT !!!!!!





About IMDB : they add a movie called "Kerd Ma Lui" : I think it's Born to Fight right ?
So why Phanom Yeerum is credited as a cast member ???? I think they are wrong ! Anyone know ? :unsure:

http://imdb.com/title/tt0428725/

I see... Well that would explain a few things.

But I'm not a fan og TomYamGoong since it's too spicy for my taste.

I like KhaoPhat or KhaoTom.

I love the hot tom yam goong and i am farang , but i can eat everything

Sure there are alot of foreigners that like the soup, but I am not really a soup person, AND I don't like alot of spicy stuff..... funny since my family is from the Chan Rai area

But I want to know, is it Tom Yum Goong in Thailand you ate or in the west? they thend to "water" it out in the west.

Hope I can eat a good Tom Yum Goong soup one day !! But where ??????????

Have to go in Thailand :cool:

Sawasdee Sawatdee

Well if you go to Thailand then you can get Tom Yum Goong just about... uhm... anywhere.

But I DO belive there are some Thai resturants in that part of France where you live isn't it? There should be and if there is then you can say that you want one Tom Yum Goong Thai style, very spicy if get that then be prepared for a VERY spicy affair.... Even too much for me, lol.

Anyways I'm sure SimplyWorld or Ongkot can be of more help to you exactly WHERE in Thailand... I only know about 2 cities where I can like REALLY tell you, and I'm not even sure Krung Thep (Bangkok) even counts since it's just WAY too big. It would kinda like asking for a french bakery in Paris I'd imagine.

I agree.

I bet you, Sawatdee, you can find thai restaurant in France for sure. Just get in there and say Sawasdee ka. They will love it. Enjoy your soup.

About Tom Yum Koong in Thailand. You can find it in every single restaurant. Just like the way you guys can find cheese and bread in the west.

Ok guys, I'm gonna try to find a good thai restaurant next to my house. But I would prefer to eat the TYG in Thailand :laugh:

Yupp, Pii Ongkot is right... You'll even find Tom Yam Goong even at small streetshops... They are also quite good, altho most westerners might think it's unhygenicaly... But like he said. Just about ANY resturant with a Thai CHEF will be able to make the Tom Yam Goong.

And if you go in a Thai Resturant in France, then please do as Pii Ongkot said: "Sawasdee Kah", and like he said, it WILL pitt a smile on theirs face..... hopefully because you pronounced it right and not because it sounded funny :happy:

Just for Gods sake don't say "Sawasdee Kaph" like me and Ongkot... well you CAN but then it's just the same as telling the entire Resturant that you are a Tomboy/lesbian

Don't worry, you'll do fine!

Ok h?h?

Sawasdee Kah
Sawasdee Kah
Sawasdee Kah

I must don't make the mistake ! :laugh:

Sawatdee,did u find the Thailand restaurant?
i dont like very spicy food~
so
i am destine not to enjoy the TYG soup~~~
BTW
there r many famous thailand restaurants in Beijing ,CHINA ,now i am living~
maybe next time i will say Sawasdee Kah in the Resturant

Yes I found an asiatic restaurant whith some thai food... I will tell you when i'm gonna eat :tongue:

OK! then the next topic here would be "Recent Asian food eaten and ratings"

Please let us know how the soup was. But one thing that I have seen here.... Tom Yam being the soup you see... Goong being the shrimp. If you don't like the shrimp you could have something other in it. But Tom Yam Goong is the most usual one.

I think I've had Tom Yam Moo once.... It's pigs meat instead of shrimp.

But a non-Thai would have no way of knowing what that it, so be carefull :happy:

Haaaaa hahaa

By the way, I love sushi. Is there anybody from Japan?


(looks like this topic is gping to be a food topic)

Sushi is good..... I like Maki the best of them

I haven't reied Sashimi tho... anyone? :huh:

Tom Yam Goong




ฺีBut I like Som Tum Pu the most!!

the shrimp~~
looks so good~~delicious~~
i like shrimp very much~~~

I remember when i ate Tom Yum Goong.
At the table that Jaa was seated in the Thai resturant that he went to dinner.
Feeing his traces.(like stalker? )
But, sorry, i couldnt eat so spicy.
Ah, i ate delicious roast rice nuddle. That`s good.-suddenly feel hungry.

TYG is the story of Kham (Tony jaa) that stayed north part of Thai (Surin) and look after elephant group (the farmer who was feed the elephant) and his elephant was stolen to Aus so that why he came to Aus for searching them.

TYG is the name of shop that was control by Asian gangster who is stolen elephant for sell them.

I am Thai and feel so good that you guy prefer Jaa.
I actually seen the title of TYG last week, it just 3 minute title for the other movie that same company, I do not want to see that movie but I willing to pay for TYG title and that was grate.

What I saw in the title :
1) The screen shot that shown who is Kham (Jaa) with his elephant farmer crew.
2) The fighting stye is differance from OB, Jaa use old stye thai fighting with new created fighting stye.
3) Jaa was jump with drop kick almost 5 - 7 meter to the Gangster.

sorry that if my english not so good but I will happy to report what happen in Thai.

If I have chance to see title of TYG again I will try to snap shot for you guy. :happy:
