Flick is a Kick in the Headnew
You may not think you want to see a subtitled movie about Thai kickboxing, but believe me, you do.
Watching Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior gives you a heady thrill of discovery, like being first in line to see Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon, or one of Jackie Chan's early, astonishing slapstick action flicks.
