Errores

When the hero jumps through the air from a pickup truck in order to knee an helmet wearing opponent in the head, you can see that he is wearing knee pads.

When Tony Jaa executes one kick to knock out his first tournament fighter he is clearly in a left fighting stance yet without changing stance he kicks from a right fighting stance.

During the cave fight with the thugs dressed in black, just after Ting hits the thug wearing the sleeveless shirt and head cap, during the slowdown scene to take out the thug you can see the thug's padding underneath his shirt.

When Mad Dog is throwing plates at Ting, there is a bystander in the corner near Ting.

He disappears and reappears between shots.

Ting's pants have a rip near the calf area that appears and disappears between shots in the battle in front of the big Buddha head near the end of the movie.

Obvious stunt double when Don throws Humlae against a gas pump - Humlae's stunt double has a smaller head and more hair.

Inside the cave where Ting is fighting the thug who is armed with a large two-person saw, the thug is attempting to push the saw into Ting's throat and Ting is holding the saw at bay with his forearms.

In another shot, Ting is using his right forearm and left palm to keep the saw at bay.

In the very next shot, Ting is using both forearms again.

When Hum-Lae is thrown by Don onto the gas pumps, his head is resting in the middle of the concrete.

In the next shot, his head is hanging over the edge.

During the tuk-tuk chase scene, Humlae's tuk-tuk reaches the end of the incomplete highway and the chasing vehicles fall over the edge.

There are several shots as they fall and Humlae's tuk-tuk alternates between having one wheel off (low shot) and being fully on the highway (high shot).

It is only after the initial chasing tuk-tuks have fallen off that his vehicle actually gets pushed halfway off.

When Hum Lae and Ting venture into the Cave riding a motorcycle, the stand of the motorcycle is still down.

In the end fight between Ting and Saming, the less athletic Saming is obviously doubled by a guy with a different posture and hair style.

In the scenes where Ting and Humlae are running from Peng and his gang, after Humlae jumps over a spear and rips his pants, the rips disappears and re-appears from shot to shot.

In the cave near the end of the film, Saming is no longer using the electronic voice box that he had to use to speak with throughout the rest of the movie Obvious (shorter) stunt double when Mad Dog is thrown through the window.

In the tracking shot of Ting being chased, just after he leaps over the children, the sound recordist can be seen holding his microphone and moving with the gang members on the right side of the frame.

During the fight in the cave, just after Ting sees that George is being pulled up by a rope around his neck, two men attack Ting from the front and back.

Ting kicks the man to his front in the head, jumping out of the way of the rear attack in the process.

However, in the next shot the man behind him is down unconscious despite not having been hit.

There is one spot in the film where Ting, Humlae and Muay are eating on a street corner.

Before this scene changes, it always freezes for a second, no matter what copy of the film you have or what DVD player you are watching it on.

Obvious stunt double when Humlae jumps through the wooden window to attack Don, and when Don throws him over the gas pump - Humlae's stunt double has a smaller head and more straight hair.

Stunt double is used in both scenes.

Toshiro (the Japanese fighter in the club) is clearly doubled in his scenes multiple times.

Well more of a rebirth really as 'Ong Bak' contains the finest Martial Arts and the most jaw dropping (South East Asian) action! Thai superstar Tony Jaa, actually broke two world records making this movie.

It's not that Ong Bak: Muay Thai Warrior is an unexciting film because it is; it's just that it's so fabricated and guilty in the sense it wants to move onto the next set piece so urgently that it forgets to give us some of the basics we may want. I wouldn't say I was a fan of kung-fu or martial arts films in general but whenever I watch one, I seem to come away with a more than positive opinion.

In my opinion there has been something missing from modern martial arts flicks their was a saminess about them, although our contemporary stars such as Jet Li and Jackie Chan have delivered some memorable performances, constantly watching Kung fu beat em ups has created what i believe is a spot for something new and exciting. An element which is superbly displayed in Thai movie, Ong Bak, the exhilarating Muay Tai fighting style is far more dynamic and gritty leading to although darker films far more intensive and inventive action!

Let me start by saying this movie was entertaining, full of action, great fighting choreography and stunts.It's the story of a monk that has to save his village's most precious symbol and he ends up being a street fighter.

Ong-Bak isn't by any means a brilliant film or one you have to think a lot about it, it's a martial arts extravaganza, and a damn good one at that. The story does have a few great emotional bits, one though I didn't think they capitalized enough on.

Now this is how you make an action flick! The plot is very simple: Ting (Jaa) has to recover an ancient Buddha head from gangsters.

Every generation has their Martial Arts icon. The 70's had Bruce Lee, followed by Chuck Norris.

With Jackie and Jet having virtually abandoned the world of pure martial arts action film in favour of more lucrative lighthearted Hollywood fodder and the occasional lavish historical epic, fans of no-nonsense, no-holds-barred, bone-crunching fight-fests were left looking for the next star to fill the void.Enter stunt-man Tony Jaa, whose athleticism and outstanding Muay Thai fighting skills impressed producer-director Prachya Pinkaew sufficiently for him to cast the unknown in the lead role for his latest project Ong Bak.

This movie shows the martial art known as Muay Thai. From what I've heard it is a feared fighting style...
