Muay Thai es muy bueno!

In "Ong Bak", a ruthless dealer in cultural relics wants to buy an amulet from an old man in the village of Nong Pradu. To make the deal, he sends Don, one of his low-level henchmen who happens to come from that village. However, the old man cannot be persuaded to sell the amulet. Don doesn't want to return to his boss empty-handed, so he sneaks into the local temple and steals the head from Ong Bak, a statue of the Buddha. The villagers believe that, if Ong Bak's head is not restored before the date of a religious festival, an awful curse will befall the village. Pure-hearted orphan boy Ting (Tony Jaa) volunteers to travel to Bangkok to bring Ong Bak back. When Ting arrives in Bangkok, he seeks the help of Humlae, who abandoned Nong Pradu years ago and now lives by his wits in the big city. Humlae at first wants nothing to do with Ting, even going so far as to deny that he is from Nong Pradu. However, once he gets a chance to see Ting's jaw-dropping Muay Thai fighting skills, Humlae decides to exploit those skills for his own benefit. Ting, however, is interested only in seeking the return of Ong Bak's head to the village. Ting is on a collision course with the gang of the ruthless relics dealer and Humlae will have to make a choice whether to throw in his lot with his origins in Nong Pradu or with Bangkok's underworld. The single-minded character of Ting does not give Tony Jaa a chance to show off any acting chops, but that may be a good thing. Instead, the focus is on his extraordinary athleticism and fighting skills. Believe me, that's more than enough! He pulls off stunts that seem almost superhuman ... and then tops himself with something even more astounding. The character of Humlae provides the human interest of the film, as we see him wrestle with where his true loyalties must lie. The story is mighty thin and a bit silly, but that really is beside the point. "Ong Bak" is an instant classic for its unparallelled martial arts mayhem. Watch it! |

| I really liked this movie. Tony Jaa is amazing...his flexibility, the stunts he pulls off. You are amazed to even watch him. The story line is ok, the only thing I did not like about the film was the cheesy music. I feel as though it took away from some of the scenes. |

This is what we need. More martial arts films like this. Absolutly stunning, very realistic and just simply breath taking. On making the film they wanted full contact fighters only, and this really shows how real the fight scenes are. The film locations are great, as were all the actors. Watch Tony Jaa on the second disk, when he is on tour, and the making of the film. This man is superhuman. I just hope he carries on making films like this. |

Excellent action movie...
| The action/martial arts sequences are trully awesome. This is an action/martial arts movie, so don't bother to look for an intricate plot/story or acting. Just sit back and be mesmerized by Tony Jaa! |

The blockbuster guy said he is about as good as Jackie Chan. My dad went out and bought it....and it was amazing. I couldn't help but thinking.."OH MY GOSH...HE ACTUALLY DID THAT!?" I'm telling you..this movie is great, lotsta action! He does his own stunts and all. Great. |

Magnificent!
| This was my 1st time watching a Thai film. It was superb!!!! Although I do have to say the English subtitles were not good. That's just a minor mishap compared to how great the movie was overall. It kept me in my seat the whole time. |
