Tony Jaa will punch your alligator

The last Tony Jaa movie had a guy using a CGI baby elephant as a weapon. I think the movie was supposed to be about saving the elephants, but near the end of the movie Tony Jaa beats up the bad guys using a dead elephants skeleton. So I was conflicted, I mean if the elephant hadn't died how would he have won the fight?
Anyway, This go around they ditched the CGI and went with a real life alligator, which seems like a smart move. No one likes Alligators. Rumor is in Ong Bak 3 he'll be using two alligators tied together like a pair of nunchucks.
