TACFEST 2026: NAK MUAY (Short Film) Review: The Truth Behind the Clinch

I spent the entire twenty minutes of this short film wondering if the protagonist was indeed the one and only Yod Suablak. The final credits confirmed it: the Muay Thai Warrior now competing in ONE Championship was the face on screen.

It is difficult to carve out a name for yourself while standing in the shadow of a legend—especially someone like Chan, who acts as a total eclipse to anyone standing before him. That is why Super Courier feels like a genuine step forward for Baktybayev, who not only stars in the film but also serves as its producer. The influence of Jackie Chan and classic Hong […]
