Just watching it for about the 10th time. Really like the film. Muay Thai has such a reputation for being quite brutal (i know it is blah blah blah), but the film uses the moves and makes the fights look really awesome. Plus as its not a Kung Fu film there isn't any wire fighting or overly fancy crap. Love the fight scene where he goes through the (Krabby Krabong? SP) weapons at the end. Just a generally good film, and I thought i'd reccomend it. PS: used search function for "Ong Bak" and nothing came back, so figured it hadn't been discussed, apologises if it has.
