Spoilers ahead, probably.

This was an awesome movie.

Things Parcelan Liked
-Muy Thai looks painful. Lots of knees to the face, elbows to the face, knees and elbows to the face, face to the face, saw to the face, pipe to the face, saw to the elbow, elbow to the head, and so forth in that vein until EVERYONE IS FUCKING DEAD. Either way, the martial arts were the best part.

-Humlae was pretty funny.

-Asian chicks? Muay was cute, anyways.

-The guy who played Ting, I can almost guarantee, is going to be the next Jet Li. I can predict we'll see him a lot more in American cinema.

-Ting was a pretty good "quiet badass," which is good because he has the melodious voice of a twelve year-old girl.

-FUCKING FIRE-LEGS!

Things Parcelan Hated
-Asians need to just stay the fuck away from car chase scenes. They can't do it. Americans can do ferraris chasing each other over lakes and up trees and shit. Asians can do two goofy Thai guys puttering around in golf carts. Seriously, that was almost on par with Space Mutiny's go-kart scene.

-The subbing left something to be desired. I could have done without the constant [Sobbing continues], [Screaming continues], [Jesus continues], [Ting fighting Jesus continues], [Hip hop!]

-What was the deal with the giant fucking Buddha head at the end? Was it there for any reason beyond being there to drop on the bad guy?

-Why are there so many white and black people in Thailand? Where were the Asians?

-OH GOD! IT'S MAD DOG!

Awesome, tho

The buggy chase scenes were meant to be almost parody in their execution, I've been told.
A Kansas City Shuffle is when everybody looks right, you go left.

It's not something people hear about.

I especially loved when put his knees straight into the guys chest near the end, that was one of my favorite moves in the movie. On another note the bad guy (mastermind, not just the lacky) was kinda crappy. Just another rich guy in a wheelchair.

But the laugh was the most awesome evil laugh ever.

I loved his first fight in the arena.

Enemy: ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!

Ong-Bak: knee to throat

GG.

It is best watched with the original subtitles, not the re-done theatrical one. Ting's friend there, the one that gets squished at the end by the head, was called 'Dirty Balls' for some inexplicable reason. You have not seen hilarity till people trying to do a heart wrenching, emotional scene while screaming "Dirty balls!"
