Ong-Bak stars Phanom Yeerum as the earnest Ting, a martial-arts hero to the little backwater Thai village of Ong-Bak. The very first scene has him competing in a brutal variant of capture-the-flag, which involves climbing a tree naked and throwing everyone else off the branches with one's bare hands (or feet, or whatever else is handy). Not long after, gangsters vandalize the town's statue of Buddha, tearing off its head and hocking it on the black market.
Ting is incensed, and with the support of his village elders, heads off to the big city to get it back.Ting is totally unequipped to deal with city life, and he's no detective, either. When he hooks up with his old friend George (Mum Jok Mok), who's now a wheeler-dealer in the city's underbelly, George stiffs him for the seed money he received from his fellow villagers for the mission and blows it on a cage match. Ting follows him to the fight club, literally walks into the middle of a battle, and before he knows it is fighting an army of the meanest Bangkok street brawlers imaginable. (He also doesn't understand showmanship: when the first challenger charges him, Ting puts him down with one blow to the side of the neck. Blam! End of fight.)

It may be uncut, but the 20th century fox version has much better picture quality and good subtitles too. The only thing you are missing out on is a couple mroe parts in the village. It is just not needed. If the story was actually good, it might matter. But the reason to watch this is the stunts. The fights are some of the hardest hitting stuff you will ever get but Tony Jaa's stunt work is second to none. If you are a fan of watching great action movies, check this out casue it is the best one that has come out in a while.

First of all, if you want anything originally produced by foreign country, it is ALWAYS the BEST to STICK WITH FOREIGN IMPORT. Do not buy USA (North American edited/re-produced Version). WHY? Because it cut best scenes usually, and dubbing makes the act stupid. Watch this film in ORIGINAL language with English subtitle. The film is incredible. It is because REAL. Muey Thai is one of Strongest Standing Ring sports on the Planet, right next to Mas Oyama's Kyokushin Karate/World Oyama Karate (USA). Now, if you are TRUE fan of Martial art. or Practice Full Contact Martial Art system. You are guaranteed to love this IMPORT version of the film. Enjoy..and tell me what you think. This is a keeper.
