Born to Fight (2004 film)

Born to Fight Thai , Gerd Ma Lui is a 2004 Thai action film directed by Panna Rittikrai. It followed OngBak Muay Thai Warrior, on which Panna served as martial arts choreographer, and featured more of his no strings attached stuntwork. Many of the actors in Born to Fight were Thai national athletes. The film was a remake in name only of one of Pannas first films, a Bmovie action movie that he made in 1986. While the remake contains a couple of similar stunts to the original, the two films are otherwise vastly unrelated.
