yamesu Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 OngBak is a pretty decent movie, but I think that Tony Jaa saw too many BruceLee and JackieChan movies as a kid.The movie has no relative story value, and is really just a chance for Jaa to strut his stuff. "We did not inherit this earth from our parents. We are borrowing it from our children."
lapulid2 Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 does anybody know if the Muay Thai Tony Jaa was using in the movie is traditional or modern? <-----------the art of people folding!
Goju_boi Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 does anybody know if the Muay Thai Tony Jaa was using in the movie is traditional or modern?well to my knowledge he used Muay Boran and a mix of other thai styles https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
italian_guy Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 I bought the DVD recently, the plot is nothing special but the coreography is great!
yamesu Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 Thats very true.When watching, you can tell a lot of time went into the fight sequences.It annoys me how they hav him jumping through hoops though........literally. "We did not inherit this earth from our parents. We are borrowing it from our children."
battousai16 Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 the jumping through hoops didn't get to me as them making you watch it again... and again... and again.... all at sslightly different angles "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai
Goju_boi Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 these are the first complaints I've heard of this movie, weird? https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
isshinryu5toforever Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 these are more critiques than complaints. There's no denying the amazing physical stuff in the movie, but that's all it is. It's a highlight reel for Tony Jaa to do his thing, the plot isn't really anything special. It's cheesy at best, and is really just a backdrop for Tony Jaa to show off, which he does quite remarkable. His physical talent, and the fight choreography, do make the movie worth watching for someone who loves action films. He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened.- Tao Te Ching"Move as swift as a wind, stay as silent as forest, attack as fierce as fire, undefeatable defense like a mountain."- Sun Tzu, the Art of War
Goju_boi Posted August 6, 2005 Posted August 6, 2005 gotcha,well when I see action movies, I see them mainly for the action.So it doesn't bother me that thisis the same https://www.samuraimartialsports.com for your source of Karate,Kobudo,Aikido,And Kung-Fu
