Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior.

[kaysee]

Anyone else seen this Thai Kickboxing movie???

Sure it has subtitles, a basic plot... but the fighting and action scenes are absolutely awesome. Amazing what Tony Jaa (sp) can actually do with No Wires and No Computer Effects.

I don't wish to say too much esle except I hope Hollywood don't make the same mistake they did with Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, and catch onto this guys amazing talents after he has passed his prime... get him into major roles NOW.

This movie is right up there with Bloodsport and Kickboxer... a return to the great fight and action scenes.

I first saw the film in early August 2003. It played to a 750 strong crowd at Village in Melbourne as the closing night film for the International Film Festival. We were all gobsmacked at Tony's moves. A fun action film, a great laugh.

Saw it on NYE last year, when a martial-arts crazy friend of mine brought it along. You could literally hear the jaws drop around the room when Tony Jaa started doing his crazy stuff.

Loved the bad characters, loved Jaa's style, if he can just jump off skyscrapers like Jackie Chan can, he'll be the complete outfit.
