"Born to Fight" (aka "Gerd Ma Lui") is Panna Rittikrai's first film, and while some people's first movie is greatly lacking, this one is almost the complete opposite. This film contains stuntwork so great that you see Panna recycling it in later films.

The film itself has many flaws. The direction and acting are probably mediocre at best. The storyline is relatively standard, and possibly relies too heavily on two characters looking similar.

All that aside, there are several great action sequences in this film. You can see the wheels beginning to spin for films like "Ong-Bak", "Born to Fight", and "Tom Yum Goong". The motorcycle chase scene is particularly good, but every fight is full of awesome stuntwork and good concepts. This film also features a little more kung fu style fighting than most of Panna Rittikrai's other films.

This film has some really excellent fighting and stuntwork that needs to be seen, but it’s extremely low budget and looks like an old Lo Wei or Huang Feng film. If it had the production quality of "Ong-Bak", everyone would need to own this movie.

No big deal with the plot, only the fight scenes gets 4 stars. Superb action, I would say that it's much better than "Ong-Bak" and "Tom Yum Goong", those movies maybe have the cinematic magic and lots of acrobatic fights, but this has the extraordinary choreography.

Should be purchased only by the Tony Jaa completist. While the movie has decent action scenes the age of the movie and the low-budget really is glaring. The remake film with Dan Chupong is an overall better film.
