We watched Ong-Bak on Sunday night and it was AMAZING!! The plot is thin as with most martial arts movies, but the fighting was incredible. The thing that sets this martial arts flick apart from most is the fact that it's all full contact. There are no pulled punches here. These guys take a beating! The other thing I liked about it is that there is no wire work either. When Tony Jaa jumps and flips, he does it on his own. When he jumps on the shoulders of 6 guys and runs across them, that's all Tony baby! It has the best chase scene I've ever seen! Whenever Tony Jaa does anything remotely cool, there are 3 different angles showing it so you can see that there is no trick to it. He is amazing!! It made such an impression on me that I dreamt about it that night. I had to watch it again yesterday before we took it back to the video store. I think Tony Jaa just might rival Jet Li for my martial arts crush...Anyway, if you like martial arts and can appreciate the athleticism of these guys, you definitely have to check out Ong-Bak! You won't be disappointed!
