Learning of his brother's life-threatening injury, a prisoner escapes and falls into street fighting to buy his way back to his family.
This is a strange example that not all martial arts movies are either action or thriller. This is decent bubblegum if you're into this style of movie. It's not cheesy, it's just dated.
It's actually subtitled as "Lyonheart".

Stuff and things.. it's a shitty cross between an Indian and a Chinese pulp historical drama-fighting movie.
Hard pass guys. Trust me. This is not a sequel to Ong-Bak - The Thai Warrior - (2003 movie) and is not a real martial arts flick.

A poor village is robbed, and a young man sets out to retrieve the village's most prized possession.
Quite good and holds up well. In context there were very few movies of this grit out at the time, and it really made waves.
Note that Ong Bak 2 - (2008 movie) is not a sequel. There is no sequel, and I'm not trying to be funny about this. It literally is not a sequel or related in any way.

A guy is hunted by a past he has amnesia from.
A straightforward plot with similar actors playing the similar roles from other movies, making this blend into a multi-movie mood. Highly recommended.
