Born to Fight (Thai: เกิดมาลุย, Gerd Ma Lui) is a 2004 Thai action film directed by Panna Rittikrai. It followed Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior, on which Panna served as martial arts choreographer, and featured more of his “no strings attached” stuntwork. Many of the actors in Born to Fight were Thai national athletes. The film was a remake in name only of one of Panna’s first films, a B-movie action movie that he made in 1986. While the remake contains a couple of similar stunts to the original, the two films are otherwise vastly unrelated.
