Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior (องค์บาก) (2003) is an action film from Thailand in the mold of "old school" Jackie Chan-styled kung-fu flicks starring Tony Jaa. Featuring amazing chase sequences and some bouts of intense, Bruce Lee-like violence, Ong-Bak was made entirely using "analogue," i.e., human power, for the stunts and effects, no CGI and no wires. However, during the car chasing sequence, a crane was used to lift the tuk-tuk. The fighting style of the movie is Muay Thai, a Thai kickboxing style, which is known for brutal attacks with elbows and knees. The fights were choreographed by Panna Ritikrai, who is also Tony Jaa's master.
