Ong-Bak

I watched "Fearless", a film starring Jet Li, some time ago and was very disappointed. Jet Li's (sword-) fighting skills were completely destroyed by the massive use of CGI and jumps with invisible ropes. The fighting scenes and stunts looked completely ridiculous.
When I heard that Ong-Bak did not use any CGI or rope tricks, then I knew that I had to see it. And I was not disappointed: the stunts and the fighting scenes were outstanding.
Update: I also watched the "Making Of", it's quite interesting, they studied every stunt very long before performing it in front of the camera.
