Ong Bak 2

Ong Bak 2 is a prequel to Ong Bak. The series is planned as a Trilogy in the following order:

Ong Bak 2 - shows Ting as a child and how he learnt his fighting skills
Ong Bak 3 - how he escapes from the clutches of his captors
Ong Bak - why the entire trilogy is called Ong Bak, because a buddha (ong bak) head got stolen and he goes to retrieve it.

Ong Bak 2 features relatively more violence and killing compared to Ong Bak, either suggesting his skills have deteriorated, or that he's trying to renounce violence (more likely).

Ting is a young price, sent to learnt khon, some royal dance. He then gets 'saved' by a group of bandits who teach him martial arts. He then confronts his parents murderers, and finds out the bandit king is one of them (who lets Ting kill him), but he gets captured by the main evil King dude.

Rather dark lighting throughout the movie, very fast paced action, but weird parts in the movie that make you go huh. Like how he escapes his captors at the start of the show, why are there a tiger/lion girl who he kills, and a crow girl who he doesn't seem to fight off very well, and why he doesn't recognise his bandit friends just because they're masked.
