Ong Bak Trilogy - BLU-RAY

Saw ong bak years ago and wanted to watch again. Really good muay thai movie lots of action. Only watched the first one so far jope the next two are just as good.

This is one of my favorite martial arts movie trilogy. Its about a muay Thai fighter in a small Thai village, the head of a religious statue is stolen and the protagonist chases it down. Suffice to say he meets with challenging fights I will not spoil the movies but the last two go back into time to a past life relative who gets trained into other fighting styles other than muay Thai. The greatest thing about the movies is tony jaa does all of his own crazy stunts and that's an understament. The stunts and fight sequences will blow your mind. I recommend this to anybody who loves martial arts. If you like Bruce lee l, Jackie Chan, sonny chiba and fans of kung fu movies. To sum it up in a few words, exhilarating, action packed, edge of your seat fighting scenes. A must own for any kung fu,action, martial arts collection.

Jaw dropping action. A must watch for the fans of action movie genre.

I am an MMA fighter, here in Tulsa . And I love to watch fighting as well as practice it, and there's no better way to spend the night after working out in the ring, than to come home and put on a Blu-Ray with TONS of Martial Arts Action BUSTING through my TV screen !!! This particular series has some definite real fighting moves that I practice personally...always a joy to see realistic skills displayed on my 50" Plasma, with my LG surround Sound Sustem I bought from Best Buy....Just AWESOME !

Tony Jaa did some of his best work in this trilogy. I do caution that the third film starts to drift and is not as engaging as the first two. Allegedly, it has to do with the fact Jaa was moving towards a sabbatical from film that was driven by religious motives and the film may have been reflective of that transition for Jaa. Having said that, the films are still worth watching as the the first two give a glimpse into various martial arts styles outside of Jaa's native Thai training.
