Contains one of the longest no-cut fight scenes in movie history: the fight up floor after floor lasted four-plus minutes.
Tony Jaa has developed a new style of Muay Thai specially for the film: "Muay Kotchasan" is based on elephants' movements ("throw, stamp on, grab, break").
As with Tony Jaa previous films, no wires or stunt doubles were used during filming.
According to the director on the special edition DVD, the continuous fight scene took five full takes for a variety of reasons, including stunt objects not breaking and the stunt mat not being in place in time. The five takes were filmed over a one-month period.
This is the first Thai film to be a "top ten film" at the American box office on its opening weekend, opening in fourth place.
"Kham: Where the hell is my elephant?"
"Inspector Mark: And this is the main Asian market in downtown Sydney, most of the people here are Asian, you know? Chinese, Thai, Vietnam [Laughs and begins to walk away] Inspector Mark: Whoa whoa whoa whoa!... And Laos!"
