After 4 years of production, the next part of the franchise from Chatrichalerma Jukola called “The Legend of King Naresuan 3: Sea Battle” (The Legend of King Naresuan Part III: Naval Battle) will finally hit Thai cinema screens this week.
Unfortunately, Tony Jaa, who at one time was supposed to play the role of a slave in the film, is not on the list of actors. After filming began “Ong-Bak 2” The filmed episodes with his participation had to be cut out. Dan Chupong (Chupong Changprung) was supposed to replace Tony Jaa, but there are no signs of it in the film. Apparently they were both replaced Supakorn Kitsuwon (The Legend of Suryotai, Ong-Bak 2, Rambaud 4), playing the role of a screaming man stripped to the waist with long shaggy hair. Other roles in both films include Nopachai Chayanam, Vanchana Savatdi and others.
The scale of all three parts is impressive: the crowd consisted of literally many thousands of people (soldiers of the Royal Thai Army), and a special studio was built in the province of Kanchanaburi. Even in Hollywood they don't shoot like that anymore - they just use computer graphics. The budget of the entire franchise, which will turn from a trilogy into a quadrology, has reached 1 billion baht.

Well, well, I wish I could get these cut footage of Jaa
It is unlikely that Yukol (and he is the Prince of Thailand, by the way) will agree to post these videos. 8=)
