Synopsis

Set in the regal times of King Naresuan, Tien (Tony Jaa) is a man who was born into nobility but had it stripped from him after his parents were brutally murdered. During his childhood Tien learned Khon, a form of dance which is usually reserved for royalty. Although he didn't know it yet, Khon would later prove to be an invaluable aide to him. After seeing his parents murdered at the tender age of 10, Tien is forced to live on the streets where he is eventually captured by a group of thieves who take him in and teach him how to steal and fight.Watch online Movie Trailer Ong Bak 2 Thai Hollywood Indian film.The film Directed by Tony Jaa

Review

NEW YORK -- A hit throughout Southeast Asia when it was released last year, "Ong Bak 2" is a throwback to the kung fu flicks of a previous generation. First-rate action scenes alternate with florid melodrama, and jaw-dropping stunts try to compensate for saccharine plot twists. An excellent vehicle for martial-arts champ Tony Jaa (the screen name for Panom Yeerum), "Ong Bak 2" will please action fans while drawing barely a glance from mainstream viewers.
The original "Ong Bak," which also starred Jaa, was a thriller set in present-day Bangkok and dealt with smuggling, poaching, drugs and slavery. While it hits on many of the same topics, "Ong Bak 2" takes place in the 15th century and is built around a political feud between decadent rulers and their opponents.

Jaa plays Tien, forced on the run as a child after his parents are murdered, and then raised in a rebel gang led by Chernung (Sorapong Chatree). Headquartered in a majestic jungle hideout, the Garuda Wing Cliff rebels operate much like Robin Hood's men, staging raids on local despots and liberating enslaved peasants. Tien works his way up to leader of the gang, then sets out on his own quest for vengeance.

It takes almost a half-hour for Jaa to appear on screen, and for large stretches his acting, including his fighting, feels a bit perfunctory. Kung fu aficionados will appreciate the sequences showing Tien's martial arts training, captured in loving detail.
The action is surrounded by impressive filmmaking. Jaa jumps across a herd of elephants, leads attacks on enormous castles and takes part in elaborate ethnic dances, supported all the while by strong production design, wonderful costumes and assured editing.

Like the original, "Ong Bak 2" leads up to a slam-bang finale in which Jaa takes on dozens of opponents in a fight to the finish. Here's where his skill and dedication come into focus. Even the most jaded viewer can't help but be astonished at Jaa's athleticism as he leaps, spins, flips and at one point takes a three-story fall

Deu (Yanin Vismitananda) is a heart-broken drummer who is unlucky in love as her boyfriend leaves her with another girl. To cool herself she finds comfort with liquor but later got kidnapped. One mysterious man, Sanim (Kazu Patrick Tang) saved her life and soon she is learning the martials arts from him.

Accompanied by Kee Brothers she started mastering martial arts combined with the art of drinking. Soon Deu realizes the Brothers’ girlfriends have been kidnapped and they have nowhere to turn for help but Deu. Meanwhile, Sanim also gives martial arts training to Deu in an abandoned beach resort. Deu feels that she has feeling for him, but Sanim has other woman in his mind.

The Brothers then reveal the reason why their girlfriends’ are kidnapped to Deu. After an intensive training Deu is ready to face the kidnappers’ leader, Jaguar (Rungtawan Jindasingh). She finds a warehouse where the girlfriends are kept and Jaguar is no ordinary fighter. She is so powerful that Deu decides to team up with Sanim to face her. Can Jaguar be defeated and the Brothers’ girlfriends released in the end?

Since the advent of Tony Jaa’s Ong Bak, the Thai film industry has seen its action films flourish with new energy. Yanin “Jija” Wismistananda’s new film, Jija Deu Suay Du (Raging Phoenix) continues this tradition by delivering a unique martial arts film, and adding to the growing body of Thai action cinema.
Heir to Hong Kong Cinema

Raging Phoenix possesses stunning martial arts choreography while following the conventions of the kung fu genre. The film opens with several women being abducted and Jija’s character, Deu, being left by her mother, abandoned by her band, and longing to join her dead father. Deu, depressed and drunk, is rescued by Kazu Patrick Tang’s character, Sanim, during a botched attempt to kidnap Deu. Sanim fights off the gang would-be kidnappers in an acrobatic sequence filled with attackers on pogo-shoes.

Waking up in an abandoned factory Deu, encounters Sanim and his gang of merry do-gooders who practice a form of drunken Thai break-dancing martial arts that they dub Meyraiyuth. Sanim and his friends, having had loved ones abducted, have joined together to break the gang of kidnappers. They teach Deu their martial style, putting her through her paces in the traditional martial arts movie training montage. She learns well, and combining dance with Thai martial arts is visually exciting as Deu engages in several fight sequences on her own.

Thai cinema is often known for its genre mixing as seen in its horror films filled with slapstick comedy. Raging Phoenix takes a turn for the surreal as the reasons for the abductions come to light. The final sequences leave out much of the supporting cast of Thai B-boy martial artists, which is disappointing considering their talent. Sanim and Deu combine their efforts to fight a female body-builder on a series of suspension bridges over a chasm. The choreography is well-paced and the climatic action sequence is strong as well.

The film feels long at times and while the action sequences are great, the gap in time between them can leave the viewer anxious. While the actors are all individually quite charismatic, the on screen chemistry between the two leads is lacking. This is fine as the plot develops and the choreography between the two is dynamic while fighting as a team in the end. The film is energetic, fun to watch, and will not disappoint fans of martial arts films.

Raging Phoenix, the new film with Jeeja Yanin (star of Chocolate), was finally revealed. You can see the poster below, and if it is any indication, it looks like it is becoming quite a unique movie, blending martial arts together with Hip Hop dancing. Twitch reports that Sahamongkol is clearly trying to go new ways with the fight choreography for Jeeja. Todd from Twitch has apparently seen some footage of Raging Phoenix already, although no trailer is available currently. Wise Kwai's thoughts about the movie poster seem to be similar, saying "...all I can think is this movie is going to be weird -- a heavily stylized head trip". Raging Phoenix was directed by Rashane Limtrakul who was also responsible for a segment in the 2008 movie 4 Romances.

One complaint from my side: Why do Thai production companies have to change the names all the time. I have to totally agree with Wise Kwai on this. It is difficult enough to keep track 5 different English titles for the same movies, now they are starting to change the names of their main stars. On the poster, "Jeeja" is written "Jija". Right now I cannot think of anything more unnecessary than this.


Raging Phoenix is the comeback of Jija Yanin, the female action icon, that combines new stunning martial art styles and love story to be the ultimate action-romance film. Focused specifically to Jija's skills and personality, Raging Phoenix fuses her martial arts skills with hip hop dancing and other elements. The film also introduces a newcomer, Kazu Patrick Tang who teams up with Jija on the big screen
There's an odor to Jija Deu Suay Du. An aroma. Not a stink or a stench. But a fragrance if you will.
It's the smell of an impatient audience, waiting for something cool to happen
