"Ong Bak": The CRAZIEST martial arts movie to date!

[Joel]

Went to the movies last night and nothing else was playing at 10pm besides this. I heard that it's good and I went in with little to no expectations...

OH...MY...GOD! The action sequences were, for lack of a better word, intense. Best $10 bucks I've spent at the movies. If you have even the least bit of appreciation for martial arts, this is one that needs to be seen in the big screen. If not, just go for the action, and there are lots of it! Best part was no trick photography, no CGI, no wires and everyone does their own stunts. The hits were very real. Just picture the best Jackie Chan movie and multiply it tenfold. And arguably, if you strip him of his mystique and charisma, Bruce Lee has nothing on this guy's skills!

Demonstrations of Muy thai (Thai kickboxing) at it's finest. You've got to see this.

*No, I'm not affiliated with this flick nor anybody in it. I just love it.

I believe this is a very popular Thai movie. It was a big hit in Asia in 04.

And the title means "Fist king/lord" if I remember correctly. A lot of the moves are like Thai kick-boxing. Nice flicks :wink:

Damn, thanks a lot for the link.

wow! insane, now I know what the fuss is all about.

It was a big hit in many countries in Asia last year, a lot of magazines and people where talking about it. I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch a Thai movie. Now I must go and pick up the DVD.

I WILL see it this weekend. I guess this is a movie worth seeing even by myself...

Some of the jumping/dodging moves remind me of Donnie Yen (Iron Monkey, Hero, etc.)

I will definately see it... But Bruce Lee is Bruce Lee, no matter what this guy has to offer... You may have guessed but I'm a big fan of him

 

[NRG]

Yeah.I saw this last year on DVD. From what heard, he will be the next Jackie Chan (since Jackie is getting old).

i watched this movie few days ago, IMO i dont think its better than ANY jet li or jackie chen or bruce lee's movie,,, (i didnt like it).... :frown:
he had some skills jumping around when he was getting chased , but i can only see he is still rooooooky the only thing that was awesome was movie trailer, so when i watched the movie, it was a huge dissapointment. maybe i was expecting so much when i saw the trailer.
