Also, with every body blow and crunching kick amplified, it's hard for the viewer not to feel a little beaten down by the time the end credits roll. The nonstop Muay Thai fighting becomes tiresome after awhile, without much of a plot to hold interest. After surviving a thrashing in a crocodile pit, he is trained to be a champion and years later attempts to get his revenge. The star is the son of murdered royalty as a rival kingdom takes over his town. Nothing so fancy in "Ong Bak 2," in which Jaa makes his debut as director, along with action choreographer Panna Rittikrai.
Captured and sold into slavery, Tien is saved from death by Chernang, the leader of the Pha Beek Khrut, a group of martial artists specialising in various Asian combat styles. Set in 15th century Thailand, the film revolves around Tien, the son of a murdered nobleman. Starring Jaa, it is a standalone prequel to the 2003 film Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior. Later, he jumps off the edge of a tall building to hang onto a helicopter. Ong Bak 2: The Beginning is a 2008 Thai martial arts film co-directed by Panna Rittikrai and Tony Jaa. His talent with elephants is not easy to. His acting is mute against his talent as a stuntman and martial artist.
"The Protector" (2006), the Weinstein Co.'s butchered version of Jaa's "Tom-Yum Goong," has Jaa punching, kicking, throwing and jumping his way past villains as he climbs up a four-story building in a four-minute single-take. Tony Jaa is like the Bruce Lee of Thailand. The first "Ong Bak," released in the United States in 2005, was a fresh, likable (if flawed) movie in which Jaa, who claims to do all of his stunts without the help of special effects or wires, gets out of one tight corner by skipping across the shoulders and heads of his pursuers before they know what hit them. Window.APP_STATE = JSON.Tony Jaa is a lot of fun to watch, but "Ong Bak 2: The Beginning" is not only a step back in time - to 1431 - but a step back in this martial artist's international film career.
