MTV Movies Blog › Tony Jaa

I have an unbelievably high tolerance for action. The fight scene from "They Live" ranks among my all-time favorites. This clip from "Ong Bak 2" is considerably better than that. You can check out the movie now on Xbox Live, Amazon or VOD, or you can head out to see it in theaters on October 23.

In the first "Ong Bak," Tony Jaa plays a Muay Thai (Thai boxing) warrior in a contemporary setting. He kicks ass and takes relatively few names as he searches the seedy underbelly of Bangkok for a stolen statue. The Jaa-directed-and-starring sequel winds back the clock to feudal Thailand, 1421 by our calendar. Jaa plays Tien, a young man who grows into the greatest martial artist in the land after he is rescued from slave traders by the leader of a warrior tribe. Check out the clip below to see a display of Tien's skills.

"Ong Bak: Muay Thai Warrior" introduced me to a whole new realm of kickassery. You can keep your kung fu masters, your ninja, your black belts by degrees. I'll take Tony Jaa and Muay Thai style. Flying fists, feet, knees, shins, elbows... anything goes really. But with style. And now we get more, thanks to the upcoming prequel "Ong Bak 2: The Beginning," which hits theater on October 23 and HDNet Ultra Video On-Demand a month earlier, on September 25. Now, behold the poster!
