Ong Bak 2: The Beginning (2008)

For about ninety percent of the running time Tony Jaa breaks arms, legs, faces and throats using his fists, feet, elbows and knees. He’ll get adventurous occasionally and use knives, swords, sticks, flails and an old fashioned rock. OB 2 is less of a film and more of a collection of fight scenes thrown haphazardly together. The script remembers in the last thirty seconds, literally, that it’s supposed to be a prequel to the first film, so it adds a weak connection lest we accuse it of cashing in on a name.
