#18 – Ong Bak - The Thai Warrior

“No safety nets. No computer graphics. No strings attached.” Our
next “Around the World” pick is "Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior,"
featuring Tony Jaa kicking butt all over Bangkok as he tries to
retrieve the head of his village’s scarred Buddha.


You have never seen so much jumping, flipping, kicking, elbow
strikes to the head, and knees to the FREAKIN’ FACE together in
one movie before! Don't miss an enthusiastic discussion about how
this film helped revitalize the modern martial arts movie and
what makes such films so appealing.


Next week is Future Classics and the pick is "Fences." Please
note that we reversed Around the World and Future Classics this
round, which is why you received the former first in your feed.
