Ong Bak: Muay Thai Warrior
Anyone here see the movie Ong Bak: Muay Thai Warrior? I just finished watching it on Spike TV and it was great. Back to the old school martial arts movies. This came out in 2003 though and it was pretty good.
The star is Tony Jaa - the new guy in the world of Martial Arts Movies - He's from Thailand and he has great and unique fighting skills. I enjoyed the movie because it was very action packed. If you like martial arts movies, i'd recommend this.
The story is this: The Head of a Statue in his village gets stolen, He is sent to the city to recover this and gets into fights...what else right? It was a movie that kept my attention.
Here are some videos of it. This is a rehearsal video - he actually does all these moves in the movie which is cool:
