Ong-Bak 2, story and fighting!
Well I’m not even sure if many people have even heard there was a second Ong-Bak out with the Thai superstar Tony Jaa. As everyone who watched the first movie knows the story was well… Not so good, but the fight scenes more than made up for all of the movies flaws. Well Ong-Bak 2 covers both bases now and is a much better put together movie than the first one. The movie didn’t look like a low budget movie that was just randomly plotted like the first one, now don’t get me wrong the first movie is one of my all time favorite martial arts movie because of the different style it uses and the use of Muay Thai being used instead of your traditional martial arts movies. The second movie is the story of the young version of Ting (Tony Jaa) which takes place before the first Ong-Bak. The movie shows how Tony grows up with pirates because both of his parents are killed so he is saved by a leader of a group of pirates and learns the way of fighting and stealing. Tony grows up and has evil memories of the people who killed his parents and sets out to get his revenge. The plot in this movie is much much better than the original Ong-Bak and still has some great fight scenes, probably just as many as the first.
The movie impressed me from what I was expecting.
If you like the original you will surely like this.
