‘Ong-Bak 2’ Trailer

9th July 2009

Ong Bak 2From www.empireonline.com

Tony Jaa is back with another dose of Muay Thai madness in Ong-Bak 2 and you can get a dose of it here over at FilmDrunk. It’s actually in French, but as anybody who saw the first Ong-Bak installment will know, dialogue was more of an afterthought.

Not a sequel in the strictest sense, Ong-Bak 2 is set in Ancient Thailand and stars Jaa as Tien, the son of a murdered nobleman who embarks on a quest for vengeance with the help of a posse of shit-kicking brigands and the odd helpfully positioned elephant.

The path of this martial arts actioner to the screen has been far from smooth, with Jaa having a breakdown midway through the shoot and disappearing into the jungle for two months. The Thai director/star/fighting machine bounced back though (literally, if the trailer's water buffalo stunt is anything to go by) and Ong-Bak 2 looks like it might just match the 2003 original's madcap genius.

Ong-Bak 2 is out across Europe on July 22.
