Ong Bak : The Thai Warrior (องค์บาก )

NONG PRADU VILLAGE

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 held just 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

Shit, 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 asshole 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

- Shit! Who wants to be next?
