1	!!First film
2	* DeletedScene:
3	** There was an additional fight for Kham in the temple, against two UsefulNotes/{{Taekwondo}} fighters played by Daniel O'Neill and Dean Alexandrou. The scene was cut in order to streamline the last act, becoming a MissingTrailerScene, but their unconscious bodies can still be seen in later footage.
4	** In yet another MissingTrailerScene, a duel against Johnny and his men in Sydney was also cut. The warehouse fight was also apparently even longer before the director decided to trim it.
5	** The American release was cut down by a whooping 25 minutes of footage, although it contains a special scene (Kham beginning his ambush on the criminal group) that was deleted from all other releases, including the Thai one.
6	* DyeingForYourArt:
7	** Jaa, being a skilled UsefulNotes/MuayThai practitioner, decided to create an entirely new style nicknamed "Muay Kodchasaan" in order to make his character more unique.
8	** A Thai camera operator volunteered to work out specifically to have the strength and stamina to wield a SteadiCam rig while keeping up with frenetic action of the film's [[TheOner Oner]]. A western camera operator had originally been brought in because there wasn't a Thai operator large and strong enough to effectively carry a SteadiCam rig, but he couldn't keep up with the oner's pace.
9	* NoStuntDouble: As usual, Jaa did his own stunts.
10	* OnSetInjury: Creator/LateefCrowder injured his Achilles tendon during filming, which resulted in the fight scene between his unnamed ''[[UsefulNotes/{{Capoeira}} capoeirista]]'' character and Kham being truncated into the much shorter (but still frenetic) BattleAmongstTheFlames that's seen in the final cut.
11	* ProductionPosse: Not just Creator/TonyJaa and the director, but Humlae and his sister from ''Film/OngBak'' also appear.
12	* QueerCharacterQueerActor: Transgender dancer Jin Xing was cast for the character of Madame Rose, a transgender DanceBattler.
13	* ReferencedBy:
14	** ''Film/TheBodyguardThai'' have Tony Jaa's cameo in the second movie, where he's a jade elephant vendor looking for his elephant. There's even a fun ActorAllusion where he shouts "Where's my elephant?" like his ''Tom-Yum-Goong'' character.
15	* TroubledProduction: The film took two whole years to complete for how ambitious it was. The famous oner fight, for instance, required five full takes over a month to nail it, as objects would not break or would not be correctly placed due to the scene's difficulty.
16	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The Creator/JackieChan impersonator Kham meets in the airport was meant to be a {{homage}} to his films, which Jaa is a fan of, but according to longstanding rumors that have yet to be dispelled, it would have been played by the real Chan had he been available for a cameo.
