R.W.R.

This one came to mind after a trip to Houston not too long ago.  I was reminded of this movie and how much I enjoyed watching full on cinematic Muay Thai in action.  Yes, I'm talking about Tony Jaa in Ong Bak:Muay Thai Warrior!

This movie to me was pretty  much Tony Jaa's resume on film.  It was his break out into action/Martial Arts film and made him an overnight sensation.  Ong Bak tells the story of Ting (Tony Jaa) the mightiest warrior of a small village who must recover the head of Ong Bak, a Buddha statue in his village.  Ting has made a promise to not use his skills as a fighter for personal gain, that however doesn't last long.  Ting must fight in order to survive and recover the head of Ong Bak!

This scene in one of, if not the, best scene in my eyes.  I'm still not certain how that jackass at the beginning who gets his face stomped in even gets back up.  My one critism is that the final guy he fights, who looks like Billy Kane from Fatal Fury, kinda sucked...all he does is grab shit and throw it at Jaa.  Regardless of that being said, this is still a great scene.  I apologize for the quality and sound, the youtube version I found wasnt the best....
