Ong Bak 2 hits you

JoBloJoBlo

If you’re a fan of modern martial arts movies, you probably know the name Tony Jaa. The acrobatic elephant-loving Thai cyclone is back in ONG BAK 2 (which he also directed), once again snapping bones and whacking people with elbows, knees, palms, sticks, pots, bladed instruments and various household/village items.

I’m not sure if the sequel is actually a prequel or if it’s only related to the original in name only, but I’m reasonably certain that A) it resulted in many hospitalized stuntmen and B) the story doesn’t really matter. As proof, Twitch has kind of a weird (“Single Cut With Sword!”) but no less impressive promo reel that you should check out pronto.
