![Ong Bak (2 Disc Ultimate Edition) [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91yOfqoA7uL.jpg)
No stunt doubles, No computer images, No strings attached Experience the most breathtaking action spectacle of the year with martial arts phenomenon, Tony Jaa: the man that Total Film describes as ""Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li all rolled into one!""

Added to this is a gleefully choreographed chase on the highways of Bangkok involving a fleet of tuk-tuk vehicles (the three-wheeled taxi iconic to Thailand), knowing location photography (visitors to the capital will recognise Khao San Road and the exterior of top nightclub hangout Suzy's Pub) and, most of all, an affecting story of one man's struggle to uphold village traditions against Western modernisation.Special Features: - 2 Disc Ultimate Edition - Over 5 hours of amazing bonus material - Exclusive brand-new orchestral soundtrack, composed especially for the UK theatrical and DVD Release - DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track - Dual LAnguage format (English Dubbed and Thai Language with re-mastered English Subtitles) - Audio Commentary with HK expert Bey Logan - 'The Road To Glory': a fascinating 8-part ""Making Of"" documentary that will take you behind-the-scenes of each of the movie's groundbreaking action-sequences - 'The Art Of Muay Thai': an exclusive documentary on the art of Thai boxing - 'From Dust To Glory': a revealing interview with Tony Jaa - 'Ong Bak On Tour : Promo tour highlights including incredible live martial arts demonstrations by Tony Jaa - 7 Deleted scenes and alternative ending - 'Visible Secret': a rare and exclusive rehearsal montage featuring Tony Jaa and action consultant Don Ferguson - 'The Bodyguard': an interview with action-consultant, Don Ferguson - 'Mad Dog': an interview with co-star David Ismalone - 'Pearl Harbour': an interview with co-star Erik Markus Sheutz - Trailers

At last some real fighting
Since taking up Muay Thai 3 years ago, I have become very disappointed with all the "martial arts" scenes that get such huge praise. The "fight" scenes in films such as Matrix are a joke! In most films it is all fly-by-wire and you can see that the way the kicks and punches are dealt, they have such a small amount of possible momentum they would harldy cause a bruise let alone disable a 19 stone thug (and send him flying through the air at that!) It is very refreshing to see something believable at last (most of the time anyway - some of the chase scenes were a bit OTT, but fun.) I watched this film first in Thai on a DVD brought over by my Muay Thai trainer and the fact that I didn't miss anything compared to the English version says something about the extremely thin plot... But who buys fight films for the plot :o) Definitely 5 stars for this excellent film!

an instant classic
not much to say, an instant classic. i thought the new score would be bad, but it's not that bad really, you won't even notice it - which means it's good... also the commentary from bey logan is a nice add-on to that release - this guys can talk, a lot, but you are never bored with his commentary...

Skinny guys kicking big guy's butts - enjoy!
All action acrobatic Thai boxing fest, with spectacular fight scenes and some great humour. Disk two reveals the amount of work and what seemed like a thousand takes which went into its making. Loads of fun.
