Martial arts fans, have you seen Ong Bak? If not, Netflix it, grab it from Blockbuster, do whatever you have to do in order to see this movie.
I won’t bore you with the details of the “plot”, such as it is. However, the fight scenes are some of the most vicious I’ve ever seen in a martial arts flick. The Muay Thai/Tae Kwon Do hybrid style employed by its star, Tony Jaa, is a sight to behold. Ong Bak mixes a bit of Jackie Chan-esque chase scenes with the fight scenes for a bit of variety, including the requisite tuk-tuk chase through the streets of Bangkok.
If you’ve an ounce of interest in martial arts films, run, don’t walk to your local video distribution outlet and grab Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior.
