Guest Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 " Breaching a 10-year contract with Sahamongkol valid until 2023 by working for another company " Maybe he just forgot to mention it to Panom, Universal Pictures, and United International Pictures Far East Co. that his signature was on a contract with Sahamongkol Film International this sort of thing can happen .... © All rights reserved.

waerth Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 No he didnt forget. He just felt SahaMongkol was treating him bad. They were basically demanding over half of his pay and wanted all kinds of side deals with ff7 production. This is old news to me. I have heard about this already 6 months ago. Many of us have worked with Tony and we all get the stories through the grapevine. I played in Tom Yum Kung with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waerth Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 This one is much more epic, This scene was shot in one go from second 45 onwards. No rest! So he really did all of that jumping and kicking. I was there that day. The restaurant scenes were later inserts. All the fighting from second 45 onwards is one shot! They rehearsed all day for it. But Tony and the director wanted to do one take and one shot. And they did it. Which is extremely difficult. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAOFO2MKaPU W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waerth Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 No this has nothing to do with April fools this has been ongoing for sometime. SahaMongkol put Tony Jaa in a very bad contract (for Tony). They basically own him and pay him a pittance. They feel that Tony has to be gratefull to them for them helping him at the start of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioman Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 So now the civil court backtracks and voids the injunction. Would love to know what all the background shenanigans amount to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
