Growing up imitating actions greats Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, Tony Jaa practiced his destiny for countless hours in his father's rice paddy, using the family's elephants as launch pads to practice flips into the river. At age 15, his dreams began to materialize when stuntman and action-film director Panna Rittikrai took him on as a protege. In 2003, Jaa's big break came with the release of Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior. Since then, Tony hasn't disappointed, filming some of the best scenes in the biz—low budgets be damned!
Today, the sequel to his breakout film, Ong-Bak 2: The Beginning, finally hits theatres in the US. Need a good reason to go see it? How 'bout 10 of 'em? Below, we've compiled Tony's best fight scenes for your viewing pleasure. Jaa Rule!
