Additional Release Material:

Featurettes -
1. Tony Jaa Martial Arts Demonstration

I already have it and I will write a review of it if people want it sooner.
Disc 1 is the US version
Disc 2 is the international version
I haven't had time to see all of both cuts to compare, or the special features but I'll do it as soon as I can.

Isn't there a Bey Logan audio commentary as well?

For the ones who already have the Dragon Dynasty verison, is the spine numbered like the first 2 Dragon Dynasty releases, Kill Zone and Police Story? Don't know if it's #3 or #4 because of them releasing Seven Swords the same day.

Has anyone here watched the uncut version of the movie in the US DVD release? I've got a question regarding that cheesy CG sequence later on in the movie. The father narrates the dream sequence, and based on the subtitles, at one point, the kid asks a question. You never actually hear the kid's voice though. All that you get are the subtitles for what he supposedly said and then the father continues talking. Is is supposed to be like that?

which subtitle track did you have on? There are 2, one has the entire movie subtitled (including the english) and the second one only has subs for the thai. I browsed through the uncut version but havent' watched it in full. There's a featurette on disc one that proves for a fact that the long 4 minute fight up the hotel was shot in one take (granted it took 5 tries to get everything right)

I watched this last night and wish I'd know about the second track that sub'd only the Thai, it was distracting to see the English too, although the accents were tough. I watched the Thai cut and was interested to read about the changes that the American version had that changed parts of the story.
Overall, this movie had some great action but the story was pretty weak. Disregarding the whole "for the elephants" thing, which is fine, just not traditional, I thought the movie was a bit convoluted and didn't mix with the bang-out fight scenes.
I'm glad I "rented exclusively at Blockbuster" and the dvd seemed very good, good idea with the Dragon Dynasty. I chose not to watch the hour plus of featurettes but it is there for fans.
The Protector (Thai Cut) - C+
