Ong-bak

Quiet, please!

The winner this year is young Ting!

Welcome people of Nong Pradu.

Welcome all who come!

For the presentation of robes

to our revered Ong- Bak.

This ceremony is a prelude...

to the great festival of Ong- Bak...

that will commence here

in seven days...

and which is heldjust once...

every 24 years.

It marks the auspicious

completion of two cycles.

- May peace and prosperity

reign in our community.

Where's the Buddha amulet?

The bust shows sign of wear,

the head's slightly chipped.

Hardly perfect condition!

200,000 baht is a good price!

Why won't you sell it?

Name your price!

Don, it's not for sale!

I've come all the way

from Bangkok!

I took time off work!

I never told you I'd sell it!

I'm keeping it for my son, Humlae!

For when he is

ordained as a monk!

When you decide to sell, call me!

Forget it! I don't have a telephone!

I'll give you my address!

When you decide to sell, write me!

Grounded feet!

Crocodile tail!

Elephant face!

Hanuman's ring!

Bolting horse!

The ogre's sword!

The fall of Hera!

Soldiers marching!

Mad elephant!

Cutting through the enemy!

Avoiding danger!

Dropping your head!

Knight throwing an ax!

Wave smashing the shore!

Meeting a friend!

Knight catching monkeys!

Breaking the joints!

Snake chasing lizard!

Cliff shaking!

Sticky water!

Throwing the spear!

Breaking the sword!

Raising the body!

Horse replacing bird!

I have taught you

the art of Muay Thai!

Now I ask you never to use it!

- Is that clear?

- Yes, master!

Good!

You're wondering why!

Aren't you?

In his youth, your master learned

the ancient art of Muay Thai!

Under the great master Kru Dam!

He was impatient

to try out his skills!

In a rope fistfight,

he killed his opponent!

Overcome with guilt,

he decided to become a monk!

Muay Thai is dangerous!

He doesn't want you fooling around

with it! Is it clear now?

If you're still not convinced!

Go a few rounds with me, Ting!

Uncle!

Huh?

Hey, you vandals!

What are you doing?

Move it!

That scumbag Don!

Severed the head of Ong-Bak!

He also stole

the poor box, master.

Don is a bastard!

If we can't recover Ong- Bak's head...

our village is doomed!

Calm down.

We'll find a way!

To bring the Buddha's head back

before the great ceremony.

But who will bring it back?

I'll bring it back!

I know where Don lives!

The fate of the whole village!

Lies in your hands!

This sacred amulet

contains Ninpat herbs!

My grandfather told me

it belonged to Kru Dam!

Keep it close to your heart!

Here's Don's address!

And please give this letter to Humlae!

Ting...

be sure to bring Ong-Bak

safely home to our village!

Here's some money for food!

All our hopes go with you!

Mother gave me this

before she died!

Take care of Grandmother!

Everybody...

give what you can!

For the journey!

BANGKOK:

Sh*t, I lost!

Come here!

Who'd you pick to race?

We lost by miles!

It was a fair race!

Win some, lose some!

You're being a bad loser!

You put up a girl against me?

-

- So I'm a girl! So what?

Do you know

who you're talking to?

Shame you don't race

as fast as you talk!

Screw you!

-

- Here's 10,000! The rest's security on your debts!

I pay you interest every month

and it's not due yet!

Give me some so I can bet!

- Take it or leave it!

- I guess it's better than nothing!

Hey, give me those!

You got cash!

You can leave the tabs for my boys!

You guys can score

what you need anytime, anywhere!

Why you wanna take mine?

It's too strong

for these pussies, anyway!

Hand it over, okay?

Shithead!

There you are at last, George.

Where's my share?

Quick! I'm in a hurry!

That a**hole Peng

got wise to our scam!

He kept all the money!

What? If this is a joke

it's not funny!

Look! Check out my face!

You think I did that myself?

Hands off, I just got beat up!

Your bad luck!

How could he tell?

Forget it! You got 200 baht?

Hold on!

Pay up first, borrow later!

You always take your share

of the dough!

But never your share

of the beatings!

You're the one who messed up!

I messed up, smarty-pants?

Peng has given me

three days to pay up...

or he'll come after me.

Humlae!

It is you, isn't it?

Greetings!

Is he a friend of yours?

What do you mean?

He's talking to you!

You know this hillbilly?

Don't you remember me?

Ting from Nong Pradu!

Yeah, right!

I don't know you!

I don't know you!

Got that, sucker?

I remember you!

You're Humlae!

What kind of a name is that?

Dumbest name I ever heard!

Clear out before I kick your ass!

Go easy, Humlae-

George, I mean!

You are such a pain

in the ass, sister!

Get out of here!

- What was the name of your village?

- Nong Pradu!

Right, I'll leave

the Nong Pradu boys to it!

You must have lots

to talk about!

He shows up

and you take off!

Go then!

But leave me some dough!

Buy yourself a Band-Aid!

See ya, Humlae!

As for you, country boy,

go back where you came from!

Humlae, your dad

gave me a letter for you!

I don't know you! Scram!

This is my room!

Forget about earlier!

Close the door

or it'll be swarming with mosquitoes!

I was out of line! Sorry!

You know, our village

is in big trouble!

Don and his men

stole Ong-Bak's head!

Your dad told me

to come and find you!

So we could get it back!

- I have Don's address here!

- Save it for later!

Here, dump your gear

and go take a shower! Go on!

Come on, it'll do you good!

Through here!

- Then can we-

- Later! Here's a towel!

I'll even turn on

the light for you!

Soap's on the left,

toothpaste on the right.

And don'tjerk off

all over the floor.

Hi, is that you, Muay?

Meet me at the Khaosan Road

fight club.

Still time to place a bet on Ali?

All of it!

Where's the amulet?

Their pigheaded chief

refused to sell!

So I took Ong-Bak's head

instead, boss!

He's the village deity, boss!

They revere him!

You wasted your time!

It's a lousy lump of stone!

You're such a jerk!

Get this rock out of my sight!

Before I really get mad!

Your boys

keep letting you down, huh?

And now Pearl Harbour's!

Going to get the kamikaze treatment

from my boy Ali!

You seem very sure of that!

If you think your guy can win it,

up the stakes!

I have no limit!

Call me whenever, babe!

Next fight,

if you're still game!

Maybe you'd like to up the stakes!

The winner, Pearl Harbour!

Bastard!

Pearl have won three men!

- Sh*t!

Who wants to be next?

- Where's the villagers' money?

- What?

- Where's the money?

- How should I know?

There!

Ah!

New challenger!

Come on, lay your bets! 3 to 1!

What's country boy

think he's doing?

Yup, we can wave good-bye to Ting!

I'll give you 10 to 1!

But perhaps

you'd better not risk it!

Okay, let's up the ante

to one million!

I'm in!

I don't want to fight!

I just want my cash!

No sweat, kid, leave it to me!

Fight!

We've got a new champion tonight-

- What's your name?

- Ting from Nong Pradu!

Ting, the Pradu Legend!

Prize for the winner!

No, I just want my money back!
