Brand New Thai Trailer for Tony Jaa's 'Ong Bak 3'

In the US, we'll probably get a chance to see Ong Bak 3 on VOD before it gets to theaters. The fantastic Tony Jaa just hasn't had much luck with these movies in theaters. The first one had a half-assed release, and the second fared even worse. Both came from Magnolia. The Protector did much better when the Weinsteins released it in 2006, but this guy should be a much bigger deal. He can't act worth a lick, but he's the best thing going in the martial arts genre. Ong Bak 3 apparently comes out in Jaa's native Thailand next month, but there's no word on when it might show up stateside. That deal probably hasn't been hammered out yet. But we'll keep you posted, and you'll want an update after you watch the trailer. So what's it all about? I dunno. Looks like some guy gets beaten three-quarters to death and is really pissed off about it. He also jumps from elephants.

how can they call this ong bak 3. I mean ong bak 2 was nothing like the first movie. NOTHING. And this one looks like the crow or something.

Is this a marketing thing or do thailand movies usually do stuff like this?
Movie looks good though lol

The second one seemed to play on some sort of resurrection theme. But that's all I could find to tie the movies together.

A bit of the supernatural and more of the kick ass... I can dig it.
