Ong Bak 3 Trailer – Heavy on Action, Short on Story
Poor Tony Jaa, he started off with a ferocious punch to theater screens back in 2003 with the original Ong Bak and then followed it up with a great display of martial art acrobatics in The Protector (American title). Critics and fans were comparing him with an aging Jackie Chan and Jet Li and some speculated that he might actually be this generation’s martial arts phenomenon. Then Ong Bak 2 came out and things started going downhill.

Jaa directed Ong Bak 2 but had a mental meltdown on the set and left to meditate in the forest for several weeks. His dramatic display of anguish slowed down filming and the film took way longer than it should have to finish. Ultimately, this hurt both the film’s box office chances and Jaa’s reputation. I’m not even sure if Ong Bak 2 opened in North American theaters. If it did, then it was on a very limited release.
Now Jaa is releasing Ong Bak 3; his second attempt at directing and if he doesn’t get his act together then this one will make less than the others. I would give you a brief synopsis for Ong Bak 3 but there doesn’t seem to be one. What I can tell you, though, is what it will mostly be about.
Jaa plays Tien, an orphan that is raised by a vicious pirate to eventually replace him as leader of the pirate clan. Along the way, Tien learns the awful truth about the death of his parents and uses his martial arts skills to avenge them. In Ong Bak 3, it would appear that Tien is back and, for some unexplained reason, is kicking much warrior ass. Watch the trailer below and enjoy:
