Ong Bak trailer

They're touting this new guy, Tony Jaa as the next martial arts god. That's pretty much the trailer. And although I'm thouroughly impressed by the dynamics of it, WHERE'S THE PLOT?!

 

[shuri]

ok plot, terrible VOICES! I swear to god May has a deeper voice than the main guy and his friend *COMBINED* The story is your average modern martial art story. It takes a while to start tho. But still very enjoyable to see all those stunts.

Its the first foreign movie that I wish was redubbed.

God a bunch of acrobatics don't make you no fucking Bruce Lee. Half of his moves weren't even thai related. They were TKD tricks/Wushu.

Ong Bak review:

No plot, great fights.

 

[shuri]

The plot was pretty simple, this statue was stolen from the village by some sort of gang that resells artefacts, Hero goes to the city, gets help from long lost family member, and they try to find the statue. See it for the great action scenes

 

[happyfunball]

Yea..i saw this movie too...pretty cool if you dig thai boxing and acrobatics.....my friend who really digs thai boxing LOVED this movie....it was kinda meh to me

 

[levious]

the movie rocks... plot was fine, but it's a non-story driven action movie... with a TUK TUK chase scene!

Ong Bak review:

That's what it looked like. The trailer itself didn't have much substance, although he looks like a fiend with all the stunts and fight clips.

Who the hell cares about plot? Are the best Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee films known for their great plot?

 

[karasu]

Partially,yeah. Without a plot there's no reason to fight, and you may as well watch an exhibition. The plot should at the very least provide a reason for the madness. One that you can care about.

I enjoyed a lot Enter the Dragon's plot...

 

[Jim Bowie]

I wish I knew what it was about. And I wish they didn't tout him as Jesus Christ. Just show me the movie, and I'll find out how cool Tony Jaa is.

Enter the Dragon baby... that's a yes.

 

[Bob White]

I wanna see the dude who fought Jackie Chan in Gorgeous fight the main dude from Ong Bak.

Allen's triple kick was BAD FUCKING ASS!

the only thing totally wrong with Enter the Dragon... T_T why they had to go and lynch a brother?

There is a sequel to Ong Bak being filmed in Australia at the moment. Tony Jaa is in it. I can't remember the name.
