Ron Smoorenburg It’s clearly not in vain that he moved to Thailand - in his native Holland they don’t make films with martial arts as such (the only thing that comes to mind is Beef fish / Fighting Fish). Here he has more than enough work: filming in advertisements, commercials, all kinds of TV series, work as a stuntman, understudy, minor and episodic roles, etc.
If you are familiar with films that have recently been filmed in Bangkok or in Thailand, then do not be surprised if a face flashes on the screen Ron. Some of his recent projects include: “Eagle Way” с Jean-Claude Van Damme, “Largo Winch 2: Burma Conspiracy”, "White elephant" Prachiy Pinkayu, “Red Eagle” (understudy of “Black Devil”), “The Hangover 2: From Vegas to Bangkok”, Shanty Town Show Down с Dean Alexandrou and two Indian action films with good fights. It is also worth mentioning the role in the first part of the trilogy "The Mark" called “The Mark: Flight 777”, where he starred with Gary Daniels. The second part was also filmed in Bangkok, but the third part will begin filming in Europe this summer.
It turns out that in May of this year he married a Thai woman. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Ron with his marriage and wish him all the best not only in his family life, but also in the film industry. :D
Showreel by Ron Smoorenburg
I Am A Ninja
Ron Smoorenburg was the director, choreographer and one of the operators of this, albeit relatively old, but interesting video. Famous personalities filmed: Anis Cheurfa (one of the best trickers in the world, Guinness record holder), Selina Lo, Tim Man, Anton Kalin, Mark Redmond, Brahim Achabbake etc. The role of the ninja was played by two people - Anis Cheurfa (trix) and Gonza (b-boy).
Easy offtopic
Please forgive me in advance, because I don’t know what exactly the record is (dont sprechen vu français)... :)

New video from Ron (filming a Thai comedy series).
where can I find the movie Fighting Fish?
It has been lying on the bay since 2007.
I looked at Marine 2. I didn’t see Smurenburg there anywhere.
Here's a photo from the set: http://ronbangkok.hyves.nl/album/35163451/Marine_2_in_Phuket/FymlPOtC/
Ron seems to also be a Guinness World Record holder
Can you tell me which films excerpts were used for the showreel??? I liked the moments, but other than “who am I?” and “red eagle” I don’t know anything... :)
I couldn't find the movie "The Mark: Flight 777" on IMDB
Maybe there is another name for it?
And I didn’t see such a film in Gary Daniels’ filmography either.
Not all films are available on IMDB. It is called either The Mark: Flight 777 or simply Flight 777. The second part is called The Mark: Bangkok Rising.
From what I know:
Who Am I?
Red Eagle
Puma (German series)
Shanty Town Show Down
Marine 2
Largo Winch 2
Chuen Cheewa Navy (Thai TV series)
Fighting Fish
plus a couple of advertisements and a video with a record.
Evildollar, thanks for the information about Anis. I always considered him the coolest tricker, but I didn’t think that he was a Guinness record holder))
EvilDollaR, found one movie - "United Six" (2011) Action Director - Ron Smoorenburg, Kecha Jaika
EvilDollaR, which two Indian action films with good fights did Ron star in?
I don't know, Graph. Ron didn't write the names...
EvilDollaR, from the photos from the set of “Universal Soldier 4” that I sent you, add at least the one that shows Roy Jones, Van Damme and Andrei Arlovski.
Added a video with Anis's record (18 Gainer Full Twists in 1 minute).
cool showreel, 2nd video is complete crap. Yeah... he didn't marry a Thai woman, but a Thai family, apparently he was seriously shell-shocked on the set, sorry for the guy
Cool!! Who knows when Anis Cheurfa managed to become a Guinness record holder, and for what?
The showreel is very, very good and much better than the next video. :)
Ok, thanks, I’m just on a different OS and haven’t had time to check it yet.
EvilDollaR, check your email. email - I sent you 3 photos from the filming of “Universal Soldier 4”.
