On February 5th, 1976, in the Issan hills of western Thailand, a Cambodian descended mamma gave birth to Tatchakorn Yeerum. His name was changed at some point to Panom Yeerum, and, when he decided to sell his skills as a martial-arts film star to the wider world, he changed his name again to Tony Jaa, our boy from Ong-Bak.
The first version of Ong-Bak I saw was in Thai with Japanese subtitles, called Mahha! (Japanese for Mach!), and even with no understanding of the actual story you could still be wowed with the no-wires and n0-CGI stunts going on.
Well, check this out. Once again, us martial-arts-action-film heads will be excited.
The actual website is here.
They've already started filming on the next installment.
