Ong Bak 3

2

Tony Jaa comes back for a third installment of his Thai fighter franchise...

Nov 22nd 2010

Thai fighter Tony Jaa returns for the third entry in his martial arts saga.

Picking up directly from where historical prequel Ong-Bak: The Beginning left off, Ong-Bak 3 sees Jaa’s Tien escaping near-death to hunt down the tyrannical ‘Crow Ghost’ (Dan Chupong) and save his village.

Tenuous links aside (clue: it’s all about the sacred statue of the title), this stodgy effort bears little resemblance to the blistering, modern-day original – a greater focus on Bhuddist philosophy (as expounded by Jaa and co on the limited extras) leaves little room for the sort of bone-crunching, no-frills set-pieces that first brought Jaa to our attention.
