Talk:Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior

Title Name

Isn't the title should be Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior as shown in the image?

or need to find the new image to match the title ^_^ .--manop 21:56, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

• Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior, is the official International English title as well as the Singapore English release. Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior, is the official USA English release as well as the Philippines English release. The movie poster image is probably from the USA release. Both are accurate. --Evmore 15:56, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

This is from IMDB

Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior (Philippines: English title) (USA) (trailer title)

Daredevil (USA) (informal literal English title)

Ong Bak: Muay Thai Warrior (Singapore: English title)

Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior (International: English title) (festival title)

Thai Fist (Hong Kong: English title)

And the article should also mention something about Ong bak 2 (2007) Tbsw 07:35, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

When was it released in theaters in the US?

If someone could add this. I remember it being 2004, is 2003 the time it was released in theaters in Thailand? I had wanted to see it, but almost no theaters were showing it, just one 30 miles away The snare (talk) 12:58, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Summary

{{Spoiler}} The summary is wrong. George (Humlae) does not die. Also, the Bhudda Statue Head did not fall on George. He rolled off the platform. The Budda Statue fell and crushed the bad guy. George "died" from the injuries he sustained from the bad guy hitting him with a hammer. However most likely he was just being emotional and collapsed from injury. He is alive at the ending scene in the village, he can be seen riding on the elephant. You can tell it is him. Who else has dyed blond hair? You can also see the girl (Mui) in the village during the ending.

First of all, if you knows Thai. The special feature on Thai DVD explicitly said they made two endings, one with George alive, and one with him dead. They chose the one with him dead, because it's more emotional and meaningful. The one on the elephant is not George. He's Ting. and Muay being there doesn't mean anything.Suredeath 13:57, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

There is some confusion about the ending. I've just watched the Thai DVD and it is just as Suredeath says: George dies in the cave, pinned underneath the Buddha head. Oh, and Mui-Lek is screaming endlessly (I think he died to escape her screams). The Ong-Bak head is returned to the village and there is an ordination ceremony, with shaven-headed ordinates - including Ting - riding elephants. Blond-headed George is not there. However, I distinctly remember seeing a version where George lived and he's seen at the end, all bandaged up, riding an elephant into the village. Maybe this is the version that was shown in Thai cinemas (and is possibly on VCDs distributed in Thailand?) because Petchtai Wongkamlao is such a big star, perhaps the movie producers feared a backlash from audiences for killing Mum Jok Mok. If my memory isn't faulty, then information about an alternate ending should be included under the appropriate heading. --Wisekwai 06:10, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I bought my Ong-Bak DVD from Mang-Pong (Thai Version at least), the major retailer chain in Thailand. The version where George was bandaged up, limping, with his leg broken, supported by his parents, were featured under "Alternative Ending." Originally, George was supposed to live, but Mum Jok Mok himself objected. He asked simply said that his character should die. Two versions were shot. In the end, the director agreed with Mum Jok Mok. Suredeath 13:21, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I've got the same version, but I've never scrolled through any of the special features. Petchtai Wongkamlao is a class act. I especially enjoyed his acting in that final scene. -Wisekwai 15:46, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

{{Spoiler-end}}

Steroids? How do you know the one fighter who injects himself uses steriods? Is there any evidence to suppoerit was, because I would think it would be adrenaline or something you can get an instant affect from.

It could very well just be some fictional drug.Jondd88

Soundtrack discrepancies?

I have a copy of the American release of Ong Bak and I remember there being little to no hip-hop music in it, with most of the soundtrack being composed of combined East Asian traditional instruments and rock/techno styles. However, it seems that most people I ask say that the version of the film released outside of Asia had a soundtrack made up mostly of French rap, which is also the only thing that ever turns up on a cursory search regarding the soundtrack. Was there some other edition released? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.45.115.97 (talk) 03:32, 4 June 2007

I watched it on The Movie Network (Canada) a few weeks ago and I don't recall any French rap, maybe only some techno beats. I have a poor memory on this though. –Pomte 03:37, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

I haven't seen any of the versions except the Thai version, but I do recall reading that when Luc Besson bought the film, he had the score changed, and it was this version that Magnolia Pictures picked up and distributed, and I guess I assumed it was was eventually released to DVD in the States. Maybe Magnolia got the original score? To my knowledge, Madman Entertainment out of Australia were the ojnly ones outside Thailand marketing the original version of the film, with Thai score, with English subs. Can we get a definitive source on the correct info? The article says there is another different score on DVDs distributed in the UK. Is that correct? — WiseKwai 04:50, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually, the author copied it from the May 28 version of Wikipedia as he mentions at the bottom of the page. Because he gives Wikipedia credit, it is not a copyright violation. I am removing the copyvio tag. Copana2002 (talk) 16:53, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
