Ong-Bak Movie
A while ago I got the tip of Cosmo to watch the Movie Ong-Bak. Yesterday I went dvd shopping and I found this movie in the special ofters. All I can really say is (because I am still impressed and just speechless) WATCH IT and BUY IT.
It’s just fantastic and I really enjoyed movies from Jacki Chan and Jet Li too but I think Tony Jaa is a mixture of both and also a bit of Bruce Lee. The mixture is perfect and he really does a great Job and I believe after I have seen the making of and “Ong-Bak on Tour” that he can fight and he know what he is doing. It really looks good and not to much overtaken by special effects with computers (if there is any of them in it). The worked with lots of dummies and you see it sometimes but the action is perfect the budget 10times smaller then on a hollywood movie and I think the American’s couldn’t have it done better, trust me. The Thai’s did a great job. Here are some posts from other pages.
Plot from IMDB:
When the head of a statue sacred to a village is stolen, a young martial artist goes to the big city and finds himself taking on the underworld to retrieve it.
IMDB Comment:
This movie is incredible. When head of Ong Bak is stolen, Ting (Tony Ja) swear to bring it back from the thugs. When he enters the city he is forced to use Thai Fist, he learned from old priest to combat Thailand’s underworld in arena of illegal underground fighting. The fighting is great, a combination of Muay Thai and Taekwondo kicks this flick is a must for martial art fans. Anyone who is a big fan of Hwang Jang Lee…will be surprised to watch Tony Ja ( Hwang Jang Lee of the 21’st century). WATCH IT and believe me your gonna love it.
I just love Tony Jaa. I can’t believe he performed all those stunts without wires or CG.
He is really talented. If only he could break into Hollywood, he would acheive unparalleled fame.
Hi, I am a Tony Ja fan too, I love the movie Ong Bak, but am a bit disappointed by its sequel Tom Yum Goong that was filmed in Sydney, the fighting scenes were still very good but story was crap.
I saw a video of this guy Kimbo Slice and was absolutely stunned. Though he doesn’t fight like Tony, he is not fast like him but he has a lot of power though, its quite scary, check it out.
