ONG BAK: The Thai Warrior (Tony Ja)

I'm still roundin up the rest of the boys. I got bob sapp, but I had to give him a lifetime supply of cotton candy to come along. This will certainly be the end of all wars. But since I still have not seen the warrior(s), it will be a while before I come up with a witty remark, punk

I can't get that site at my work, but you probably read the first post, so hopefully somebody has seen it. And I am not lying this won like 492 awards for best picture ever and best acting by an arabian, best warrior movie ever, ...

Oh, I think that your talking about this: http://movies.aol.com/movie/the-warrior/22790/main I thought you were talking about that Thai movie that one some awards in Europe. Yeah I wanted to see this real bad in the theater, but it only came out in New York and LA...that's BS. They could have showed it in the artsi ****si theaters in DC and lots of people would have went. Let us know how it is if you buy it. Hollywood Video says it's for rent at there locations, but I haven't seen it at the one near my house.

gonna have to rent it on net flix or hollywood video, but doubtful I will remember

Has anyone seen this movie? It is all in Thai, I think. The dvd that i have has subtitles. I thought the fight scenes were pretty good so was most of the action sequences. I have heard that the filmmaker and the actor are in the process of filming a new movie. If you saw the movie what did you think about it?

There’s an Ong-Bak video game coming… Getting There
Geoffrey Tim January 18th, 2012 clock image 11:30 am

I don’t know how many of you are in to foreign martial arts flicks, but if you are, you’ve no doubt seen Tony Jaa’s Ong-Bak. It’s a Thai movie about a young kickboxer trying to retrieve a sacred treasure from from Bangkok’s crime under world – featuring some of the very best martial artistry ever committed to celluloid.

Released nearly a decade ago, it’s now getting a video game adaptation.

Studio HIVE has announced it’s acquired the licence to use the property for video games, and will be bringing Ong-Bak to consoles later this year.

“Ong-Bak is well known as a powerful international martial arts brand,” says Sahamongkol Film International business development director Akarapol Techaratanaprasert in a press release “We are very selective with our licensing partners and found in Studio HIVE the right partner to bring Ong-Bak to gaming platforms. “Their approach to tie in movie and game is the right way to create a perfect interactive entertainment.

Kan Supabanpot, General Manager at Studio HIVE adds: “It’s a great honour for our team to work on the very first Ong-Bak multiplatform game. As a Thai development studio we love the movie and have a deep understanding of the Ong-Bak brand values and we make sure that the videogame will be an inspiring martial arts action experience for gamers.”

I just don’t see this working, but I delight in being proved wrong. The last game I played that was based off of an asian film property was Stranglehold, featuring a digital version of Chow Yun Fat. It…wasn’t too bad, provided you’re able to disengage your brain for a few hours.

Exactly how powerful an international martial arts brand do you think Ong Bak is?
