'Ong Bak 2': In Ancient Thailand, A Bang-Up Fight

by Kenneth Turan

October 23, 2009

Bruce Lee has left us, and Jackie Chan and Jet Li are slowing down, but the world of martial arts never sleeps. It's Tony Jaa who's keeping everyone awake these days. He's Thailand's biggest action hero, and he returns to inflict more damage in Ong Bak 2: The Beginning.

Now, you might think that this film has some connection to the original Ong Bak of a few years back, but you would be wrong. The only thing that links the two pictures is their star, who's such a big deal in the action world that The Hollywood Reporter called Ong Bak 2 "arguably the most anticipated Thai movie ever."

(It was especially anticipated because Jaa, who took on directing duties for this film too, disappeared for a time during shooting. Not to worry: He re-emerged after what he said was a period of meditation, saying he was A-OK and ready for renewed combat.)

The plot here is rudimentary at best. It begins with a teenage boy on the run in the year 1431. He ends up in a slave market, where he butts heads with tattooed evildoers and goes one-on-one with an enormous crocodile. This catches the eye of a bandit king, who decides to train the lad in martial arts.

Clearly it's not the story but Tony Jaa's graceful moves that are the biggest attraction in Ong Bak 2. This time around, his co-conspirators are a group of elephants, and seeing him leaping nimbly along the backs of a thundering herd of the beasts is undeniably impressive. (Definitely don't try this at home, even if there are elephants in your backyard.)

The producers report that Ong Bak 2 features kung fu, judo, several kinds of Thai boxing and something completely new — a combination of Thai dancing and martial arts called natayuth, which Jaa apparently invented just for this movie. No wonder taking time off to mediate seemed like a good idea.

Jony Jaa is the greatest in martial arts fighter. Handsome or not handsome doesn't matter. I really like the way of his but Ong Bak 2 is suck in the storyboard and I think Ong Bak 1 is better.

I myself was fascinating with his Ong Bak 1 debuted in US years ago. The Tom Yum Koong was rather disappointed in comparison to the Ong Bak 1; nonetheless, the Ong Bak 2 sounds interesting to me and I can hardly wait to see its “trailer-clips”

I bought the DVD from a tower record store when it was still in business with language option: English, Spanish and Thai in a single disc. Out of curiosity, I chose Thai language and I have to admit it was not the same us listening in English. So I switched back to English instead of Thai. I am used to watching movies in English only since I never watched Thai movie. I wonder if you guys feel the same.

I have a copy of Ong Bark 1 movie and I love to watch it. I like Jaa Phanom very much. He is a good fighter.

I assume you meant he is a good actor in the martial arts field. I agree he has such an enviable knowledge pertinent to various fighting styles; his flexibility and body movements were chorographically perfect in every scene representing his resilience. But keep in mind though; Tony Jaa never fought the pro in his life. That’s not to say he is not capable of taken out some street punks, but a fight is nothing like a movie. I can’t deny that I like him too. I think he would look great if he cut his hair like fade it on the side to 0 and flat top about 2.

 If you really love Tony Jaa as you said why you watch the copied or pirated movies? You should support the master movies of his. Right or wrong?

I saw Ong Bak 2 few months back. I think the guy was wrong when he said there is nothing to link it back to the first movie. 

The link back is the statue of the Buddha.

Ong Bak 1 is better, I don't mean Ong Bak 2 is not good. To much looked unreal on Ong Bak 2, like fight with alligator, ambush with explosion. No man in the world can't fight alligator with bare hands and win. The story of this movie was last 4-5 hundred years ago, too high tech for the people know how to build high power explosion in that era.

Gun powder and explosive have been in existence longer than 500 years.

He didn't kill the alligator barehanded. I think someone threw a knife into the water pit where he was. He found the knife and that is how he killed the alligator.

A friend bought a pirated version of Ong Bak 2 when he visisted Lao. It was the worst copy ever. It was not very clear and the pictures was shaking a lot. I got headache watching it. I threw the CD away after 5 minutes of watching it. When I saw the movie playing at the Chinese video store I stood there watching the entire movie twice.

The plot is bad but the action was great. Tony Jaa look a little older in this one or maybe he was exhausted from making the movie.

Dan Chupong (Dynamite Warrior) was awsome playing the bad guy. I love to see him and Tony Ja fight it out. We will see that in Ong Bak 3.

You are certainly welcome NangDarling. What perplexes me most though is that it just never dawns on me for a glamorous lady like you would be interested in an action movie. My ignorance had led me to believing that only an act of romance might capture your interest, but I guess you have proved me wrong. It's no wonder why they often say, "Men can easily be fooled by the beauty and the charm of ladies." If you had already watched them at least three or four times, then evidently you enjoyed it a lot. I hope you let us know how you feel about the Ong Bak 2 when you finally get to see it.

Watches are a beautiful thing. Certainly, they tell us the time - but aren't they so much more than that? replicas watches Through their watches, a person can express so much, and in a way it could be said:replicas watches Show me your watch and I'll tell you who you are.
