It also gives us a taster of just how impressive Jaa’s Muay Thai skills are -of note, Jaa unleashed his parkour chase over a full year before “ District 13” made the art of vaulting a worldwide phenomenon. However, the film puts the brakes on the chase aspect of this sequence long enough for ‘Ting’ (Tony Jaa) to kick a few butts in the flashiest way possible, something we hadn’t seen a huge amount of by this point in the film. Okay, this one isn’t strictly speaking a fight sequence, as our hero is primarily focused on fleeing his pursuers through the streets of Bangkok.
So get your under armour on and brace yourself knees and elbows will fly as we head on into these Top 10 Ong Bak Movie Fights…! (in descending order) Of course, having crafted the legend of “Ong Bak” into a trilogy of martial arts movie greatness can only mean it’s time for another countdown. Tony also produced two prequels to his star-making hit, 2009’s “ Ong Bak 2: The Beginning”, and 2010’s “ Ong Bak 3”, bringing his boundless energy in kung fu and stunt prowess to work in each.
In the years since its release, Tony Jaa would continue to amaze and astound viewers with his Muay Thai mastery in such acclaimed action hits as “Tom Yum Goong” 1 and 2, “ Skin Trade”, “ Furious 7”, and “ SPL 2: A Time for Consequences”, and will soon be seen alongside a veritable dream team of fellow action stars in the upcoming martial arts ensemble, “ Triple Threat”! Overnight, Tony Jaa shot to worldwide superstardom, with anyone and everyone who laid eyes on the film getting their expectations utterly blown out of the water! When 2003’s “ Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior” hit theater screens across the globe, there was no question that it was a game changer for martial arts flicks and like “ Enter the Dragon”, captivated audiences.
