Ong Bak

CHICAGO – Due to such high demand from last week’s HollywoodChicago.com Hookup: Film for the new Jon Foo film “Bangkok Revenge,” we spoke to the studio again and secured 10 additional pairs of run-of-engagement, anytime, guaranteed movie passes for the new martial arts thrill ride!

CHICAGO – In our latest edition of HollywoodChicago.com Hookup: Film, we have 10 pairs of run-of-engagement, anytime, guaranteed movie passes up for grabs to the new film “Bangkok Revenge” starring Jon Foo!

CHICAGO – There just aren’t many high-quality martial arts movies making it to the U.S. theaters any more and so the “Ong Bak” series of films deserves a bit of attention for that reason alone. There’s no denying that star Tony Jaa is a powerful force of nature with some of the best moves in the genre today. Sadly, the third film in the series, “Ong Bak 3,” recently released on Blu-ray and DVD is a mess, as behind-the-scenes drama apparently sabotaged the franchise. Only diehard Jaa fans need check it out.

CHICAGO – Even casual fans of the martial arts genre would be blown away by the action of the legendary Tony Jaa in “Ong Bak 2: The Beginning”. The drama of the piece is a little disappointing, but the action is ridiculously consistent and entertaining. The sequel along with the original 2005 “Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior” are now available on Blu-ray.
