Martial arts legend Tony Jaa writes, directs, produces and stars in ONG BAK 3, the third and final installment in one of the most beloved action series of all time. Picking up at the cliffhanger ending where ONG BAK 2 leaves off, Jaa ramps up the epic supernatural elements of the previous film, while still maintaining the trademark bone-crunching action that the series is known for. This time he must face his ultimate enemy: A fierce supernatural warrior named "Demon Crow," played by fellow martial arts sensation Dan Chupong (DYNAMITE WARRIOR). Eagerly anticipated by martial arts aficionados for some time, the matchup of Jaa and Chupong is explosive!

Beautiful film and beautiful technique.
This is an excellent film! Putting aside the incredible fight sequences for a moment, there is a deep spiritual and love centered story here. I understand the difficulty in reading a film (subtitles) while trying to pay attention to the visuals, it takes one out of the story sometimes. Things get lost in translation and we inevitably blame the storytelling.Lots of people have written here that the storylines do not connect, but that is only due to the fact that Thai, Chinese, and Japanese films don't spoon feed us the plot, they want us to think and reflect. We need to understand that we as American aren't as thoughtful as other cultures, I say that with sadness.There is much to take away from these films, especially if you love martial arts.The fight scenes are amazing, especially after the second act. I don't want to spoil the ending, just trust me, he will astound you as always.

Ong Bak 3
Tony Jaa stars in this martial arts fight fest that will amaze you! Fight scenes with Muay Thai, Par Kour, and gymnastics/acrobatics that appear to defy gravity are Tony Jaa's specialty and he has been placed in the elite of martial arts movies right up there with Jet Li and Jacki Chan. In this, the third film in the series, Tien is captured but then is rescued by his villagers. The villagers teach him the more spiritual sides of martial arts but all is not well. His kidnappers return for him and the fight ensues! This movie has been described my multiple reviewers as "amazing, ultra violent, and with fight sequences that are second to none". Let the Thai Warrior show you his skills! This movie is rated R for extreme violence. Enjoy!

still great movie but not as good as the other 2 ong baks
Realy awesome movie. Awesome fight scenese again. I don't know hwat h appened with this movie they rewrote the script he was supposed to get revenge on that guy and the king was supposed to have his curse removed but htat girl or i guess it was a guy the crow person but the entire movie i thought it was a girl? I was just kind of disppointed by this one because i watched the first 2 ong backs before this one and the 3rd one is definitely not as good! i would give it 3 stars but i think 4 is fair

More Spiritual/Philosophical Than Your Average Martial Arts Movie (which is a good thing)
Some ppl don't like this movie because it is very spiritual (i.e. Buddhist), and isn't like Ong Bak 1 (which was pretty much a "kick some ass" kind of movie with no real story or meaning). I, on the other hand, respect good storytelling and am not some idiot with the attention span of a 3-year old. As such, I liked this movie.If you are looking for a typical martial arts flick, with a crappy story and just awesome fighting, then you should pass on this (pick up "The Protector" instead, which has some AMAZING fight scenes). If you are looking for a movie with a more in depth story, then check this one out.

Thai Mysticism with the premier Martial Artist, Tony Jaa
I have always enjoyed the cultural story lines of the Ong Bak trilogy, this one is no exception, while the fight scenes are more historical rather than in the present age, and I prefer the present age setting, they are still trademark Tony Jaa. I can see that Tony wanted to tell a story in this one, as it is the final chapter. I still believe Tony is the finest on screen martial artist I have seen, it seems sometimes they want to make him fight armies now, but I still prefer the incredible individual feats of martial ballet, he puts on. Amazing stuff, if you are a fan of Martial Arts you will enjoy it.

Amazing fight scenes....or should I say scene...
I had been following the making of this film for some time and after the set up that Ong Bak 2 gave and the initial ideas for the film I was expecting something really pushing the envelope.That didn't exactly happen...I had read that Tony Jaa would be fighting in a manner that it would seem as if he was boneless but it turned out he danced for the last 2/3 of the movie...I get using traditional dance and making it lethal while using the beauty of the dance but yeah that wasn't what I wanted. The epic fight that I was waiting for between him and the crow was not impressive at all.Decent movie but not as awesome as I would have hoped...the original movie was still a whole lot better...Fight scene with the elephants was the most jaw dropping...but you have to wait until almost the end of the movie...

Under appritiated
Ong Bak 3 is a much better film than most people give it credit for, but then again most people do not know much about Buddism. Tony Jaa in makeing Ong Bak 3 rounded out and capped off the other two movies brilliantly with this third and final film in the trilogy if you know anything at all about Buddist philosophy then you will understand that this third movie do'se nothing but add more depth and meaning to the first two movies. Many feel that this movie lacks action but without it the first two are just action films this movie ties everything together creating a much better story as a whole. Thank you Mr. Jaa I get it and apprietiate what you have done!
