Ong Bak 2

[Salgar]

I wholeheartedly recommend Onk Bak and Ong Bak 2 (and Tom Yum Goong/Warrior King depending on where you are). Tony Jaa is one of the best no-special-effects martial artists I've seen. I don't usually watch foreign films, but there isn't much talking in these, only fighting, they're awesome.

have Ong Bak and Warrior King, both utterly awesome if you love martial arts. and the multi camera angles showing the action is brilliant, none of this shaky cam bullst.

[Martin_Hx]

Aye some great fight scenes

[militantmandy]

Agreed. Warrior King and Ong Bak 1 are both awesome, but the new one's on a different level! How long till Tony Ja gets nicked by Hollywood?

What was his film that I caught just a bit of.. where he fought a monster of a bloke using elephant tusks or something ?

This Guy? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0428923/

Tom Yum Goong (In Thai)
Warrior King (In UK)
The Protector (In USA)

Ace Film, has a fight scene which is about 5 minutes long that was done in one take and involves Tony running up stairs and fighting a billion people.

That's the one.. ACE! Will try & get my hands on it.

That last line makes you sound a bit thick, but yeah, they are great films and I'm looking forward to seeing Ong Bak 2.

All done in one shot. They needed to do several takes to get it right though. I'd say it's probably the best film fight scene of all time.

Why? I prefer reading books, not films. I can see that there are some good foreign films. They're just not to my taste. I'm thick because you don't like my taste?

Also, why would you have to bring the tone of this thread down with a weak attempt at putting someone down? I'm sure I could go through all of your posts and find something you've said which isn't to my taste. But I'm not an egotistical retard.

Don't take it personally sweetheart. I didn't call you thick, just said that line came off that way. It's only the internet, put your tampon back in

Class that.

I wonder if Tony Jaa was ever a stadium fighter in Thailand cos his thai boxing technique is perfect. The kicks, knees and neck clinches are all pure Muay Thai.
