Watch Ong Bak 2 Online

TONY Jaa made a big impact with his first film Ong Bak in 2003.

It featured Muay Thai kickboxing on a level never before seen on the big screen, bringing it to a mainstream Western audience for the first time.

In addition, Tony Jaa did all of his own stunts and used no wires or supports in his performances. The result was a blisteringly fast, brutal and exciting martial arts romp which revitalised a rather flagging genre.

Ong Bak: The Beginning tries to go even further by incorporating other martial arts into the mix.

Set in 15th Century Thailand, it tells the story of Tien, the son of an influential provincial lord, who is adopted by guerrilla fighters after his father is killed by rebel troops.

Here he learns how to fight and grows into a formidable martial arts master and decides to exact revenge against his father’s killers.

It’s an ambitious project which attempts to create a true martial arts epic by portraying many martial arts disciplines, bone-breaking action and pulse-pounding fight scenes.

Unfortunately it aimed a bit higher than it has managed to achieve. Partly this is because of Tony Jaa, whose involvement in the project was all-consuming; he’s the writer, director, fight choreographer and action director; it wouldn’t be surprising if he was listed as the caterer.

This heavy workload took its toll on him leading him to leave the production for two months which forced his mentor Panna Rittikrai to take over the directorial helm. Unfortunately it shows.

The plot doesn’t make any sense at all; it’s fractured and sloppy, it cuts around things for no reason, refuses to tie up any loose ends and is generally extremely frustrating.

Credit must be given where credit is due though and the martial arts scenes are spectacular; Jaa leaping, diving and using props that would make even Jackie Chan raise an eyebrow.

He also makes it look all simultaneously effortless as well as brutally effective. As a martial arts practitioner myself, I can see many styles have been used; everything from Jaa’s trademark background in Muay Thai, to Jiu Jitsu, various styles of Kung Fu, and even Harimau Silat (a real rarity on screen).

But without a cohesive plot to hold it all together, you rapidly lose interest.

Tony Jaa enters and beats up a load of guys. Why? Who knows. Then he moves to another location and beats up some more guys for no discernable reason. It doesn’t become any more penetrable than that and it’s this lack of any coherent narrative which makes it frustrating.

It would be unfair not to praise Jaa’s athleticism; he’s a superb action star but in the future it would be better if he stuck to what he was good at (ie elbowing people in the head) and let someone else take the reins for plot and story.

It’s a great shame, because Jaa has the ability to be a true martial arts superstar for the modern age, but this is a muddled and broken film that would work better as a series of Youtube clips.

If you get the chance, watch Ong Bak 2 online. It’s the 2008 Thai martial arts movie that was co-directed by and starred Tony Jaa. Ong Bak 2 is a follow-up to Jaa’s 2003 Ong Bak: Muay Thai Warrior. At first Ong Bak 2 was thought to be a sequel to Ong Bak: Muay Thai Warrior, but in reality, it is a prequel. Unlike Ong Bak: Muay Thai Warrior, Ong Bak 2 takes place in ancient Thailand and is more of a historic fantasy epic film that is not really tied to Ong Bak: Muay Thai Warrior. However, Jaa has said that with the release of Ong Bak 3, which begins production in 2009, all the loose ends will tie up and it will all make sense. Some people thought that the 2005 movie called Tom-Yum-Goong was Ong Bak 2: Muay Thai Warrior even though it had a different plot and different characters. So go ahead and watch Ong Bak 2 movie trailer online and get stoked to see Ong Bak 3 when it comes out.

In Ong Bak 2, Tien (played by Jaa), the son of the Lord Sihadecho who was murdered in ancient Thailand plays a stubborn youth who resists slave traders and is rescued from the brink of death by a man named Cher Nung. Cher Nung is the leader of Pha Beek Krut, who are basically pirates and guerilla warriors. He knows a good warrior when he sees one, and Tien is very very good. Cher Nung takes Tien as an apprentice, where he is trained to unify many different types of martial arts. Once he does this, he is the most powerful man alive. He goes on a mission to destroy the slave traders who enslaved him as a child as well as Lord Rajasena, who murdered Tien’s father. Problem is, Lord Rajasena has an entire army protecting him.

As a child, Tien wanted to be just like his father, Lord Sihadecho, but he had to take dance lessons instead. Later, Rajasena plans a massacre against Lord Sihadecho’s family and army. Tien is the only survivor, who though young, develops a deep vengeance against Rajasena and grows up as a feral child.

But he’s captured by slave traders, and they throw him into a crocodile pit when he becomes unruly. This is where Cher Nung saves him. When Cher Nung takes Tien to a psychic, they find out that Tien will become the greatest warrior who will ever live. Watch Ong Bak 2 online to find out if the prediction is true.
