I can across another old school clip of Apidej again the other day. The one thing that caught my eye was their movement. The clip is from 1967 but it’s apparent to me how much has changed since then.

I’ve always had a profound respect for individuals who can bounce back after defeat. This is because I used to find it extremely difficult to do so.

Tony Jaa in The Bodyguard 2

I doubt any of you guys have seen this movie, it’s Bodyguard 2. It’s a slap stick Thai comedy starring Petchai, the comedy relief in all of Prenom’s movies.
