Of course, the date is "subject to change" but any exact date looks at least 99% firm. Momentum Asia, a new DVD label (it seems) from the people at Momentum Pictures, are set to release a whole load of titles during 2005. Oxide Pangs "The Tesseract", as I mentioned recently, plus all these :
The Heroic Ones, Heroes Two, The Spiritual Boxer, Death Duel, Human Lanterns, The Magnificent Trio, The Trail of the Broken Blade, The Master, The Water Margin, All Men Are Brothers, Two Champions of Shaolin, Invincible Shaolin, Born to Fight.
...a lot of these are from the 30 titles Momentum have licensed from the Shaw Brothers Collection, the rest are fairly recognizable too. See a press release at DVDDebate and a news piece at DVDTimes.

Whee! A subtitled Born to Fight in May! Scent of the Night FLower is supposed to be quite good, as well, and they've got The Bodyguard (starring and directed by Dirty Balls from Ong Bak, with a cameo from Tony Jaa) in July ... that's a quality line up and I think they're one of the first western labels to really start picking up Thai stuff ...

Yeah, you were thinking of Beautiful Boxer, I think. Born to Fight is the one by Ong Bak's fight choreographer ...

Born to fight is the one with all the real Thai sports figures kicking some terrorist ass. Heard the movie was weak but the fights ruled all.
