Since my last post changed the lives of millions in three days (actually, Google Analytics tells me that I technically wooed a world of nearly 170... and whomever is reading my blog in Malaysia, thanks for being a fan! Seriously!) with the power of love, I thought I should probably follow it up with some ass kicking.
I'm not sure if you've seen a film called Ong Bak yet, but I'd recommend you do that. Netflix will stream it up for you right now, actually for only $9.99 a month or something. (Attention President guy of Netflix: I'll be waiting on my promo payment. Same fee as last time, only this time I want the high grade stuff.)
Anyway, Ong Bak takes kicking ass to a higher level. I personally think it makes watching movies like American Ninja, Universal Soldier, Marked for Death and Rumble in the Bronx look like an episode of Sewing with Nancy on PBS.
Last night I was finally able to see the big-time-anticipated sequel, Ong Bak 2: The Beginning.
Man, I've never seen anything like that. Not since Bruce Lee have I seen a guy move that fast and express so much charisma. Not only does this guy use every single weapon known to man in this movie, but he also doesn't utilize one single machine gun, poison dart or cheesy one-liner while doing it.
This is one of my highest recommended movies of the year so far. The plot? Oh, I have no idea what happened, actually, I just loved watching Tony Jaa maim, murder and destroy hundreds of guys, usually all at once.
Oh yeah... and it's about time that elephants got some action. These guys have been underrated for way too long and it was great to see them treated with some style. You haven't lived until you've seen a slow motion shot of a super-badass Asian man swinging around on an elephant tusk, beating the hell out of some ninjas.
Enjoy the trailer and this clip, and go get you some!

I've long wondered about the Ong Bak flicks. They always seemed action-ridiculous, and they seem to be exactly that. I may need to check them out.
On a side note....
Web Sheriff.... What the fuck?
Two part reply on this comment:
1. OH yes, see those movies. It doesn't matter in what order, since the sequel has absolutely nothing to do with the first movie, other than Tony Jaa starring in it. I have no idea why they named it that... it sort of hints at a prequel set way back in time, but never really confirms it.
The movie clip up there is actually Tony Jaa fighting in slow motion. That was a clip I found that sort of demonstrated the look of the film, but in no way is that half of half of half the crazy shit this guy does in this movie. Towards the end when he takes on 50 or more ninjas is absolutely ridiculously amazing. Must see!
2. I love this damn Web Sheriff. I have no idea where he or she came from, but I love that little avatar picture and the "Who you gonna call" slogan. Typically I'd just delete crap like this off my blog, but this one is way too genius. Their website is pretty awesome too... with that hilarious scrolling text at the top and "Wild Wild West" theme.
I just keep picturing a little CGI computer monitor in a cowboy hat wearing a giant marshall badge, holding a shotgun. It makes me want to plug all kinds of movies, just so he'll come back and comment more stuff.
