In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Ong Bak 3 (2010)
A kung fu directed by Tony Jaa and Panna Rittikrai.
Our brave hero, Tien is captured and tortured. As he is about to be executed, he is rescued and taken to a village where he is healed. He regains his health and goes out to challenge the bird fighter.
The audio was in Thai and subtitles had to be tracked down, but they were not very good.
check out: Tony's transcendent kung fu skills.
I had heard that there would be a "boneless" fight, but it didn't happen. Instead, there was a dancing style fight. The second to last fight is the most violent as Mr. Jaa's only armor is the blood of his enemies. This is a sequel to Ong Bak 2, so the plot won't make much sense unless you've watched that first. As would be expected in any good kung fu, plot is secondary to training and fight scenes, so it's o.k. to watch this before #2 if you must. I'll go ahead and rate it awesome because Tony Jaa can do no wrong.
