Ong Bak Trilogy [Blu-ray]

Excellent film. If you haven’t seen it yet - you should.

Disclaimer: I used to go to the martial arts movies in Chinese with friends back in the 80s. I've been a fan since. Somehow I overlooked Tony Jaa.Tony Jaa is an extraordinary martial arts actor and these movies are great fun. The Ong Bak is contemporary, set in Thailand having to do with a stolen artifact. Ong Bak 2 and 3 are set about 700 years ago and range from charming and enchanting to horrifying in the various scenes. The second movie was also excellent but the third feels like an afterthought. It's well shot and the fight scenes are superb but the story feels like a blend of two different stories.Overall the trilogy contains some of the best MA choreography I've ever seen. I recommend it highly/

Im a big fan of Tony Jaa. Must have for your movie collection.

Love this trilogy, I dont know about the ones who don't like 2 and 3 as much as 1. Personally I started with 3 belive it or not I only knew about 2 because 3 started from the ending of 2. The domino's fell from there so I idk each to their own. Considering I hadn't seen the raid movies either all I really knew were classic like Bruce lee, jet Lee, donnie yen and Jackie Chan. Leaving out Americans and some classics. Grounded unique Kung fu/martial arts like muay thai/muay boran was rare for me matter of fact I might have only ever seen it lose in classic films. So yeah as crazy as 3 gets we all know tony jaa is legit and I know he ran on those elephants and shit but that crow dude was overboard. Anyway ong bak 1 is awsome I get the love for it but I Personally like 2 and the story leading to the end of 3 was a great story depicting the inner corruption of one's self. I liked the shit and im a completly nonspirtual atheist ⚛ idk maybe they didn't like ancient Thailand and like the street more.

Love this trilogy, pick it up

This is a nice package which nicely completes the saga/trilogy, the fights are fresh and the style was unique at its time. The theme is also appealing with some nature sense in it. The camera work was innovative and somewhat refreshing to see. If you come from an Asian movie background then many of the things done here may seem familiar, but if you have not seen modern Asian fighting movies, then give a go. I would recommend this for those wanting a good fighting movie, if you liked this review please hit the button below.

the 1st movie's quality isnt that much better than the dvd's quality despite being blu ray. i got this collection since it wasnt that much more expensive than only the 1st movie by itself

Ever since being awed by Tony Jaa's fighting in "The Protector" I have been gobsmacked by his skill. The "Ong Bak" trilogy will leave you in awe of this martial artist. I can't say he replaces Bruce Lee as my number one martial artist, but he comes darn close. Well worth the buy.
