For the love of me I can't figure out how this sequel connects in any way, shape, or form to the original Ong Bak...but that's OK!  It's got a villainous old man, an army of elephants (shades of Tom Yum Goong/Protector?), an enraged Tony Jaa, and sounds like an orchestral choir playing the beat.  No signs of severed Buddha heads anywhere, but I'm still hoping for some trademark triple-replay Jaa action when this one hits theaters outside Thailand.  The Wiki has this as a prequel to the original, directed by Jaa himself, and sets itself up for a third.

All good...all Jaa!  Can't wait to see this one when it hits North America!  Onk Bak 2 hit Thai theaters in December 2008.
