Ong-Bak: Difference between revisions

** In all fairness, [[The Hero]] was high as a kite as well. That was the purpose of that piece of wood he bit down on, after all.

* [[The Brute]]: Big Bear

* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: The professional fighter "Mad Dog" was a particularly dramatic example of this, using absolutely everything that came to hand as a weapon, even ripping out electrical wires to attack his opponent.

** [[Garbage Wrestler]]: ...Therefore, he was also one of these by extension.

* [[Genre Shift]]: The sequel/prequel is a historical Martial Arts Epic.

* [[Honor Before Reason]]

* [[Implacable Man]]: Ting. '''And how.'''

** He also insisted on doing the take over and over again until he was sure it was right, despite having already suffered burns to his legs from prior takes.

* [[Infernal Retaliation]]: During a fight at a gas station, Ting gets his pants soaked in gasoline from the knee down, before dodging behind some barrels, which are promptly blown up by gunfire. After a few seconds, Tony comes leaping out of the inferno and kicks a couple of guys with his flaming legs.

* [[Karmic Death]]: The demise of {{spoiler|the crime boss Komtuan}} possibly epitomizes the concept of karmic death, as he is crushed under the falling head of a giant Buddha statue, which he was trying to remove and sell. You don't get much more karmic than that.

** In the prequel: {{spoiler|Tien slits the throat of his adopted father with his sword, who murdered his actual father by slitting his throat with a sword. He even acknowledges this fact before Tien kills him}}
