Nerd Reactor: Looks like Tony Jaa is drawing inspiration from Daniel-san for Ong Bak 3. The movie is being directed, written, produced, and acted by Tony Jaa.
Tony Jaa was suppose to be the next big asian action movie star. He had the lethal moves like Bruce Lee but did his own stunts Jackie Chan. His first movie, Ong Bak, was an international success. Martial art fans loved the movie for its brutal fight and innovative fight scenes.

’m a sucker for good kung fu, no matter it’s nationality. Show me someone stylishly kicking someone else’s head in and I’ll tune in like a bandit. That’s why I love Tony Jaa so much. Sure, his films make very little sense (just watch Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior for proof), but his mastery of fighting is unmatched, to the point that I want to see him make a movie with Jet Li and Jackie Chan. Has to happen, folks. Has to happen.
Has anyone seen this? Is it any good? I loved the first Ong-Bak but 2 was completely different and I wasn't really into it.
I haven't seen it but my writer on the site did. He was so-so about it. But then again, he is a big martial arts film fan.
Well if he's into martial arts and he only thought it was "so-so" then I should probably avoid it. The original was so good too why did they have to go and ruin it?
I'm going to be honest with you...I didn't care for #2's story. It was convoluted and tried for too much. It just didn't work. However, that's not at all the reason I watched it. I probably could have watched all of the film without the subtitles and enjoyed it just as much. That being said, I'm anxious to see the third film, just because I love seeing Tony Jaa in action. I'm sure the story won't get much better, but the action is always top notch.
lol Exactly. The story could've been the worst writing in the world ever and I still would've watched it. Just like I'm still going to watch this. I don't need a story to watch Tony Jaa. Hell, just give me a montage of action and fight scenes with him and I'll be happy.
Despite the story in Part 2 taking a dive, I still very much enjoyed the movie. Just like I'm sure I'll enjoy the third. Can't wait to see it either.
By the way, you're "eager" to see it, not "anxious". "Anxious" denotes worry or nervousness in your anticipation. Sorry, had to be a grammar nazi for a second :P lol

I dunno... it says
2. earnestly desirous; eager (usually followed by an infinitive or for ): anxious to please; anxious for our happiness. "
I'm pretty sure his use of anxious fits in that sentence. Then again I'm no teacher.
