I have heard good things about this film and it's star Tony Ja. I am thinking of going see it and am wondering if any of you have seen it or want to?

I've not seen it yet either,but boy am I ever eager to! 8-)This past week's issue of ''TIME'' even had an article on Tony Jaa,&according to the article Luc Besson has picked up the rights to the film,added a new soundtrack&trimmed the film a bit(not sure WHY this was done,but...)Hopefully,''ONG BAK'' 'll be out on Region 1 DVD sometime this year,though many places on the Net offer Region2&3 versions(&likely a good many bootleg discs as well.)

excellent. i have some others in store as well...
i'm looking forward to seeing this, even if the fighting is "realistic" meaning the fights are short and to the point, as all real fights are.

I finally got this and all I can say is wow. Awesome ass, hard hitting flick. The fact that Jaa did all his own stunts and used no wires or trampolines only enhanced the fighting. Not many people could pull off the stuff he did, if he isn't the next breakout international Martial Arts star something is wrong indeed.

whoa, is this a brutal end fight! of course, the entire movie could be about 10 minutes shorter, since they tend to repeat a lot of the cool moves. but sadly, muay thai tends to not have a lot of variety to it's arsenal, so after a while the moves and fights start to look very similar. kung fu has many more varied ways of fighting. Tony will be a big star, but he's gonna need a better choreographer.
i also thought the ending was a tad predictable, but perhaps that was the purpose.
still, a decent movie all in all, so nice to not see cg fights.

I read from two sources that the choreography in Ong Bak and Tom Yung Goong (Jaa's latest movie) is a bit transparent; it serves more to show off his abilities rather than convey an actual sense of danger and progression. Nonetheless, I'd still like to see these movies.
