- A Prayer Before Dawn
Actor Joe Cole was perfect for this role, his extraordinary performance in this 2018 film, A Prayer Before Dawn.
The movie is based on the true-life story of Billy Moore, a boxer from England who later found himself in two of Thailand’s most notorious jails.
From there he is forced into a dark community of drugs and gang wars. But he started learning muay thai in a prison gym, and when prison authorities allow him to compete in Muay Thai fights, he uses the opportunity as a way out.
Billy then searches out on a quest to earn his freedom.
The movie was shot in a real Thai jail and also used real prisoners as the prison inmates cast. It shows the harsh realities of life in prison, and what one must do to survive.
2. Kickboxer
This is one of the iconic movies of Jean-Claude Van Damme, this movie starts Jean-Claude Van Damme’s career in motion.
And he became a global martial arts action superstar.
In this film, Van Damme plays the role of Kurt Sloane, who had to learn Muay Thai to revenge his fallen brother Eric, an American kickboxing champion.
The story is pretty much about revenge. He then moved to a local countryside to train under Xian, who teaches him the “art of eight limbs”.
The film star Michel Qissi as Tong Po, one of the most memorable villains in martial arts cinema.
And this film also has two more sequal parts with modern fight sequences, and the other two parts have used some of the biggest MMA superstar’s names like Mike Tyson, GDP, Dave Bautista, and also many more as cast.
I will highly suggest you watch all three parts (including “Kickboxer”) of the Kickboxer movie.
3. Ong Bak: Muay Thai Warrior (2003)
