Ong Bak Series
I have all three of the Ong Bak series. I bought 3 at a Video Store that was closing. I like 3 as best of the series. I would say 2 is the best produced and story line. I think most like the original. I watch that in Thai, so maybe I missed out of details. Still good though. 3 does gets more Mystical than the others. I do think the 2 and 3 are tied to the original, through the Buda head. I think most reviews dismiss this and the only link is that there are elephants. I think the link is that the village in 1 is the remnants of the village in 3.Read full review...
Ong Bak 2 and 3 are definatley worth the purchase
Ong bak 1...the original was not to spectacular...i admit that...but the heat was turned up in parts 2 and 3..Aptly sub titled "the beginning"...they far out weigh in technique, plot and special effects. The only down fall is they are sub-titled(some dubbed...but in my opinion...you do not get the full effect of whats being said in the sub-titled). I believe you get as much excitement from Tony Yaa as you would expect from internation sensations such as Donnie Yen (IP Man 1 and 2 as well as others). Part 2...the beginning is really the starting point as to how the trilogy begins with part 3 finishing up that point. Try it...Read full review...
Awesome Movie!
Love this movie! watched it a while back i love everything about Tony Jaa's movies he is the new jackie chan, Jet Li ect. and i think he does alot of his own stunts! and his martial arts is one of the best so far! i would really love to see him make a movie with Jackie Chan or Jet Li! but this movie is awesome you gotta pay attention to this movie in order to get what the plot is or you will get lost!Read full review...

A great one to watch over and over.
My favorite martial arts movie of all time. Best self defense on the big screen. I wanna move like Tony Ja!
Ong Bak 2 , the sequal as a prequel to Ong Bak 3
I really enjoyed the first Ong Bak and was hoping for the same here but was somewhat disappointed. Though theirs action, it felt contrived without the dramatic build-up of the first. It seemed to go through the motions of an action film that more is better - not so. To me it was kind of flat. From the special features there is a follow-up to this story line in production (note: Ong Bak 2 is not a follow-up to the original Ong Bak). Tony Jaa is the director here as well as the star so maybe his skills in that behind the camera contribute to the films lack of viewer anticipation but I think the story writing is subpar - though the special features claim they got the best production crew, actors....which actually makes sense because sometimes the best turn out to lack the emotions from those in proving themselves.Read full review...
Action!!!
Loved watching it in it's original Thai soundtrack with English subtitles better than the English soundtrack. Tony Jaa is too good! Ong Bak 2 left me craving for more coz the ending left me dissatisfied. Looking forward to a sequel.Read full review...
