ONG BAK: Muay Thai Warrior

Okay, here’s an interesting fact. Even though Luc Besson started fucking with the film (cuts/new soundtrack) the director of Ong Bak actually wanted to get Besson to distribute the film. In one scene of the film you can see writing on a wall saying something like “Luc Besson, we are waiting for you”. So the question is: did the director of Ong Bak knew what Besson would do to his film?
