I have been waiting for nearly a year since I first heard of it to actually see it and it did not let me down. Although the movie started a bit slow, after about half an hour, things began to pick up and the movie never looked back. Ong-Bak is about a small town villager named Ting Tony Jaa , who sets out to find the head of his beloved sacred statue, which was stolen. Ting finds his long lost cousin from the village, Humlae Perttary Wongkamlao , who at first claims to not know Ting until he sees that his village did not send him alone, but with a bag of cash to use as he sees necessary to get the statue head back.
This is our first real look at Tony Jaa's talents, as the first chase scene begins after Humlae takes off with the bag on his motorcycle. Amazingly, Ting follows Humlae all the way to a pit fighter type of place where the real action begins. Although the plot is pretty thin, it is more than made up for by Jaa's entertaining and seemingly impossible stunts.
The movie plays up the stunts big, as it claims no stunt-men, no wires, no CGI, etc. With all that in mind, this movie is pretty mind boggling. Comparisons to Jackie Chan are going to be inevitable, and not undeserving. I can only imagine what the two of them could have accomplished if they did a movie together while Chan was younger. Simply amazing. BigHardcoreRed Sep 8, FAQ 1.

I remember watching the best bits of the movie with my friends and wincing and cheering every time Jaa landed a particularly stylish blow. The fights are so brutal that you just know the stuntmen fighting Jaa got hurt all the time, and many of the villains of Ong Bak sport ridiculous hairdos as a result of covering the helmets that the actors were wearing.
By this point, Tony Jaa had replaced Pratchya Pinkaew as director, and the studio had given him a considerably larger budget to work with. All of these changes are instantly apparent when you watch the film. The cinematography is much better, and the film has some great use of colour. Likewise, the period sets and costumes make this feel very different from Ong Bak.
But the one thing that is the same is Tony Jaa, and he certainly kicks a lot of ass in Ong Bak 2. Ong Bak 2 is the story of Tien Jaa , the young son of a murdered Thai nobleman and king of the elephants no seriously, they all kneel before him.
Sold into slavery at a young age, Tien is defiant in the face of the slave driver who owns him, which leads to him being tossed into a pit of crocodiles. As Tien grows up to be the deadliest man alive, his desire to visit vengeance upon the evil lord who murdered his father grows. But first, he tracks down the slaver who tormented him and kills him. Just like that. Suddenly, wave after wave of masked assassins pour out of the woodwork and Tien spends the final, solid half hour of the movie fighting with a variety of weapons.
