Monday, August 23, 2004 I sat down to watch the DVD of Ong Bak yesterday afternoon. It was in Thai with no English subtitles, nothing happened for forty-five minutes and suffered from characters doing things just to advance a coincidence-laden plot. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. I really want to go into more detail, but have found myself unable to for almost ten minutes. The fights are brutal (probably too much so--I managed to hook Edi with all the amazing stunts and acrobatic feats, but all the leg- and arm-breaking in the final set of fights had her fleeing to her room, shaking her head), the stunts are amazing, and the chases manage to take the classic Jackie Chan approach and tweak it just enough to give jaded viewers like me a thrill. I don't doubt I'll be watching some choice bits tonight when I get home from work. Those of you with VCD players and/or all-region DVD players should start hunting for this one. It's well worth it. posted by Jeff Lester | 8:12 AM | |
