Here are the first pictures to be released from the third installment of the popular Onk Bak.
THE PLOT
“The legend of Ong Bak 3 begins after Tien (Tony Jaa) has lost his fighting skills and his beloved stepfather at the Garuda’s Wing cliff from the raid led by Jom Rachan (Saranyu Wonggrajang). Tien is brought back to life with the help from Pim (Primrata Dechudom) as well as Mhen (Petchai Wongkamlao) and the Kana Khone villagers. Deep into the meditation taught by Phra Bua (Nirutti Sirijanya), Tien finally is able to achieve ‘Nathayut’. His talents are put to the test again when his rivals including the Golden-Armored King’s Guard (Supakorn ‘Tok’ Kijusuwan), the mysterious killers in black, and Bhuti Sangkha (Dan Chupong) return for the final massive showdown.”
It seems that Tony Jaa will be starring, directing, producing,writing and choreographing the movie which has a 2010 release date, (Soon as we find the month we’ll let you know).
I enjoyed the first two movies but i keep asking myself, do we really need another Ong Bak movie at this time?
Id like to see him take a different kind of role and show more skills to the audience like with the Drunken Fist at the end of the second, maybe star in a Sammo Hung movie. I am looking forward to it but after this one please lets see something different.

So this is a sequel to ONG BAK 2 and still a prequel to ONG BAK 1? Cool…
