You've seen Bruce Lee's films, Chuck Norris', JCVD, Jacke Chan, Jason Statham and Jet Li? Well prepare for those films to be ruined for you forever, as nothing you see after a Tony Jaa film will ever be as impressive.
His earliest and greatest film, Ong-Bak, features him: setting his legs on fire and kicking someone with them, kicking someone through a window and landing on top of them at the bottom, blocking a saw blade with his forearms and generally murderlising everyone in his path. Sadly, the follow-up Warrior King wasn't as good, but still worth a watch. Nonetheless, as the sequel to Ong-Bak approaches, I thought I would do my best to indoctrinate you into the cult of Tony Jaa. Watch the following and be converted:
Thanks Adrenaline681 on YouTube for the Ong-Bak mix
You speak truth, sir! Tony Jaa is like a real life superhero. He does things that defy gravity. I own Ong Bak, Tom-yum-gong (The Protector)and his latest, Ong-Bak 2 (and if you haven't seen this one yet, my God, man it will blow you away). Oh, and if you haven't had a chance to watch "Chocolate" definitely pick it up. It's the muy-thai, girl equivalent of Tony Jaa with some of the same Thai producers. She's no joke. Good post, Neil.
