review: ong bak 2 (2009)



Caught Ong Bak 2 on Netflix today; fast-forwarded through all the non-fight scenes, but DAMN the big final scene -- which lasts for 20, 25 minutes!? -- and from which the above clip is pulled? FUCKIN' A.

Especially when his elephant sidekick jumps into the fray!

I'm trying to get a handle on what effect they're using in the fight scenes -- it's like a higher frames per second thing, but without the flickeriness... so maybe every other field is blurred to make it less flickery and less sped-up-but-not-really-ish? I dunno. Maybe he just moves like that!

And then when it ends, it's like... it's over!?!
