“Ong Bak 3″ has found a U.S. distributor, and no big suprise, its Magnet Releasing who is looking to release the the Asian-action flick in January 2011. Directed by Tony Jaa, the third installment of the”Ong Bak” series will also be its final product. Audiences may remember the cliffhanger ending of “Ong Bak 2” which was released in the U.S. late last year where the series met quite a supernatural plotline.
If there’s any word to describe this trilogy, it’s “bad-ass” and perhaps a little silly. As seen from the trailer, the third installment picks up with just as much adrenaline and crazy as the previous two fed to viewers. Even without the English subtitles, the “Ong Bak 3” trailer is wicked cool, stock full of one crazy martial arts stunt after another.
The plot appears to be even more supernatural than the sequel to the first film of the series. Our protagonist is involved in some sort of voodoo act throughout the beginning of the trailer and then shit really goes down with elephants and some crazy bug-eyed stares. But who really cares about the plot, you just want to see those crazy stunts, no? Check out the trailer for yourself below.
