Yep, crazy martial arts action. Tony Jaa shows a lot more personality in The Protector than he did in Ong-Bak. After seeing Ong-Bak, I was left thinking he was just too wooden to be the successor to Chan and Li. The Protector makes me think that maybe he will be.
I think that was the action choreographer(whose name I can't recall) that he bumps into at the airport. I thought it was Jackie Chan at first, too.

It wasn't the action choreographer. It was a Jackie Chan look-alike. (nt) - Ears 17:21:32 01/24/07 (4)

  - Because his features aren't as Caucasian. - TAFKA Steve 06:32:46 01/25/07 (2)
    Jackie Chan has a rounder face and his surgically-altered eyelids make his eyes look larger.
    Not all of us Asians look alike.

      Jaa interview:
      - In the film when you arrive at Sydney airport you bumped into a person who is the double of Jackie Chan, Why did you not ask directly to him to make an appearance?
      (Laughs) I would like he comes (laughs) but we can't pay for the plane and all expenses just for an appearance of few seconds. It's just a gag, we did it to surprise the spectator and most of people when they watch the film think that he is the real Jackie Chan (laughs) [ Tony Jaa imitate a spectator ] "Oh Jackie Chan!!" (Laughs)
