GREAT TRAILERS!

Hey, the woest part was thar it promised lots of action and excellent fight scenes and the it ended so abruptly that it really made no sense. What happened there? They had a good thing and just spoil it...

well all i can say on this film is that Tony Jaa blew Ong Bak 1 and The Protector out of the water!!! It was more action packed than Ong Bak 1, and he wasn't tryin to find his elephant like in the dramatic movie The Protector. A great martial arts proformance from Tony Jaa

One of the best Martial Arts movie of all time! Story may not make sense to people, because they are idiots. Ong Bak 2 is a prequel to Ong Bak, it tells the story of the first thai to use the killing martial arts, and how he passed it on to the great grand master of Ting (from Ong Bak). Martial Arts aciton? MIND BLOWING! Tony used so many different martial arts and weapons! From Wing Chun, to Snake fist, Monkey, Tiger Claw, Druken Crane, Muay Thai. To weapons from boardsword, sickle chain, 3 sectional staff. 5/5!
