In Ong-Bak he was too into not wanting to fight and hurt people which seems a little Jackie Chan to me, but in The Protector he just kicked the *beep* out of people without none of that hippie *beep* I can see why QT promoted this movie because it kicked a lot of ass.
shareHe didn't want to fight because he knew he'd destroy anyone who stepped to him, which he proved. Why beat on someone when it's not even fair fight?
shareBecause it just makes for a better movie without all that hippie stuff.
shareOng-Bak what? Sorry Protector made me almost forget he even made a movie before this.
"Ah, Snaps!"
Like Unleashed/Danny the Dog with Jet Li. The beginning was good, but after he was all like "I don't wanna fight anymore!" I was like "Then why the hell are you making this movie?" Hippy indeed...
shareHe didn't want to fight because money was involved, and he was taught never to fight for money.

ong bak was overrated, i thought i was watching the worlds greatest stunt-man rather than a muy thai fighter kick some ass
warrior king however was the movie i was expecting from tony jaa, it was much better, okay story for both movies are crap but who cares when tony is kicking major league ass?

Gota disagree, Ong bak was far superior to me. I thought the stunts and fight scenes were fantastic and the story made sense . . . in Tom Yum Goong the fight scene didn't thrill me so much and the plot was jusr plain silly . . . mind you I haven't seen it with subtitles yet!

I reckon Ong Bak was better too, just the style of fighting seemed more exciting and deadly than too swishy and OTT. But still they are both great.
shareTo me it all comes down to the motivation behind WHY the main character's fighting.
This movie:
They kill his father, steal (and later kill) his pet elephant he's had since childhood, and also steal his pet elephant calf. Yeah sure, it's emotional stuff that normally doesn't fit in with an action movie, but it gives him a damn good reason to go all ape on the badguys (I'm an animal lover, so I'm kindof biased already).
Ong Bak:
They steal a small, crappy little statue, and......... oh wait, that's it. Does that warrant fighting? I don't really think so...
I liked Ong Bak better storywise. I like the underground fight club fight and the finale.
Warrior king had two good fights for me, against praying mantis and sword, and tk. and the bone breaker and tendon fighting.
Ong Bak was far superior.
Warrior King is good fun but I think they got too caught up with the big budget. There was a hint of Hollywood about it all. It just didn't have the raw, in-your-face style that Ong Bak had.
Still, Ong Bak 2 looks immense!
1. they didnt kill his father.
2. in ong bak they attack him directly while hes looking for said statue, and then they kill almost everyone in his villiage...
yeah, i think you may have forgotten a few important points.
I would say both of them are equal.

They're about the same.
