Ok, So I'm pretty excited for this one.
How many of you saw "Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior?"
Well if you did, then you'll be excited, too.
If you didn't... you're missing out.
"Ong Bak" was a martial arts epic that had a pretty simple story to propel the action of the main character, Ong Bak, as played by martial arts virtuoso Tony Jaa.
The movie has some of the most spectacular fights scenes ever filmed, and most of the action was completely real, shot without special effects, nets, harnesses or any of the like.
Jaa even developed a new type of martial arts, based on the movements of an elephant, specifically for the film. It mostly involves quick, sudden limb breaking.
Awesome.
The film even broke the record for having the longest single-take martial arts sequence, in which Jaa fights a bunch of baddies while traversing up a round staircase.

The prequel is directed by and stars Tony Jaa, and will be in theaters October 23.
