It’s the fourth round and I’m finally picking a martial arts legend that hasn’t even been touched yet.
It’s Tony Jaa in:
Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior - Fight Club Scene
Thai martial arts actor Tony Jaa finally breaks into this draft. Normally, long scenes like these tend to drag on and bore me but there was nothing boring about this.
Here, a bulked up foreigner who represents basically every stereotype of a douchebag tourist is beating the crap out of everybody in the club. In the background, we see Ting (Tony Jaa) slowly approach the ring looking to get his stolen money and the Ong Bak statue’s head back by being the last man standing in this extended battle.
If he wasn’t Thai, Tony would be as well-known by the world (if not more so) than the likes of Donnie Yen and Jackie Chan. In terms of sheer athleticism, he surpasses both.
I think it’s on @Nicholasp27 now.
