Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior

[sooper]

If you like elbows to the head, then this flick is for you!!

Not nearly enough nudity though.. and by not nearly enough, I mean none

But there are no special effects, or fighting wires - everything is stunt work, which makes for some cool fight scenes.

Good clean fun - fun for the whole family.

Well I don't beleive it's for the whole family, I watched it on dvd which I had before it came out in the theatres but didn't even watch it at home till it did come out. Awesome movie his fighting is amazing. Yes nudity would of been a bonus but who cares I can put on a porn if I wanted to see naked woman. Jet Li still one of my Fav. there style is different anyways.

I want to see this flick bad, but it sucks that it has such a limited release in the states.

You can probably find it on DVD (with either 0 region code or region 1) as I got this nearly a year ago. Head to Chinatown or the Thai quarter of your town.

If anyone really wants to see, and its not playing in your town, and you can't find the DVD or download, you can fly me in, and I will re-inact the movie for you.

no nudity.

Re: Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior

Just watched this tonight based on recommendations here... fucking loved it. the stunts were amazing, and there was more elbows-and-feet-to-head contact than I knew what to do with. thanks for the recommendation.

quick plot outline for everyone from blockbuster.com:

Thai stuntman Tony Jaa makes his starring debut in this martial arts action film directed by Prachya Pinkaew. Ja plays Ting, a young man living in a village in rural Thailand. Discovered as an infant on the steps of the town's temple and raised by monks who taught him the Thai martial art of muay thai, Ting is sent to Bangkok when the head of the town's statue of the Buddha, to which they pray to bring the annual rains to their drought-stricken region, is stolen. The country boy is plunged into the big city's seething criminal underworld, and forced to use his fighting skills to dispatch a parade of thugs in an underground fight club on his way to finding the criminal mastermind who stole the Buddha head so he can return it before drought and starvation bring his hometown to ruin. ~ Tom Vick, All Movie Guide

Re: Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior

Title should be Muay Thai Warrior.

'Fighter in the Wind (2004)' is also one to see.
