English titles: Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior; Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior.
Synopsis: In a village in Thailand the head of a Buddha statue is stolen; the statue is attributed a protective function for the village, and thus the village's bravest young man is sent to the capital to recover the stolen head.
Appraisal: In terms of story, nothing really memorable happens; the characters are simply caricatures. The fights are in great quantity; the choreography is good yet not exceptional; the fighters are uniformly excellent; there is also some moderately entertaining non-fighting action, such as a street foot chase and a competition on a tree.
