A perplexing problem with his bio


According to the trivia on IMDB, Tony Jaa was influenced to start martial arts and stunt work by the film Kerd ma lui (2004), which led to him studying and later work on Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997).

So my question is, does Tony Jaa - as well as being an amazing martial artist - have the abiltity to time travel?

no way lol!!

Nuvaar I was thinking the same thing....

Haven't you heard? Tony Jaa can travel back in time merely by running in the opposite direction of the Earth's rotation.

Kerd ma lui 2004 is a remake of a film from the 70's so....yeah

Yeah, that's wrong. The 2004 Born to Fight (Kerd ma lui) is a remake of a 20-year-old movie!

THIS was what influenced Tony Jaa and not the remake.

This is his actual height, jackass. Just about all of the most famous martial arts movies stars are around this height, maybe a bit above.

Height & Weight : 172 cm (around 5'6") and 62 kg (around 136 lbs)

That's probably where imdb got 5'6 from.
In reality, 172cm is about 5'7 and a half so he isn't that much taller than 5'6.
173cm is 5'8.
