Martial arts movie fans who have caught Ong Bak<\/strong> or The Protector<\/strong> (or Tom Yum Goong<\/strong> as The Protector<\/strong> is known anywhere the Weinstein Company doesn\u2019t change a movie\u2019s title before distributing it) knows that Tony Jaa is perhaps more than human.<\/p>\n

As a master of muay thai or Thai Boxing, Jaa has amazed audiences the world over with the speed, grace and sometimes fierce brutality of his martial arts prowess.<\/p>\n

If you are not familiar with Jaa, check out the promotional reel below for his upcoming film Ong Bak 2<\/strong>*. In addition to starring and choreographing all the fight sequences, Jaa is making his directorial debut with this film. Even more impressive is seeing Jaa branching out as a martial artist in this film, utilizing various weapons and other styles of fighting.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

This clip was screened at Cannes in an attempt to get distribution for the film. To date, unfortunately, no US distributor has picked up the film.<\/p>\n

*Although it is being called a sequel, Ong Bak 2<\/strong> appears to be a period piece as opposed to the original film\u2019s modern setting, making it a prequel.<\/p>\n
