May 17 2007Ong Bak 2 Bought by Zee Germans, or Something

To do list: 1. Throw baby elephant through window 2. Flex.

Ahh, you know what really hits the spot on a hungover Thursday morning? (Yes, I am that awesome - the doctors say it's booze induced) I'll tell you what, another excuse to post the elephant-throwing clip from The Protector.

Thailand's Sahamongkolfilm Intl. has struck a low seven figures deal with Germany's Splendid Films for muay thai martial arts actioner "Ong bak 2."

The Weinstein Company still holds North America rights. Pic is a non-sequential sequel to "Ong bak," which was breakout movie for action star Tony Jaa. Jaa both stars on and is helming "Ong bak 2."

To me, that all sounded like "Blah blah blah Ong Bak 2 blah blah blah." Thai action movies could teach their American counterparts a thing or two. Namely, if you're gonna make a dumb action movie, make it really dumb, and really action-packed. Otherwise you get mediocre, watered-down, wannabe-epic garbage like Troy or anything Jerry Bruckheimer has ever done (I also heard he hates blacks).

I like Tony Jaa because he could kick a giraffe in the face and because let's face it, young Thai boys are hot. See him do cool stuff, after the jump.

Elephant throw-ery:
