    Tony Jaa has a fierce and vigorous skill . Muay Thai, parkour, and scooter that appear in every play of his have almost become the classic icons of the Tony Jaa series of action films. 3D "ต้มยำกุ้ง2" maintains his always difficult and thrilling action style, which has many similarities with Jackie Chan's style .   
    Tony Jaa's fighting actions also have their own distinctive characteristics: real, difficult, and thrilling. In the 3D "ต้มยำกุ้ง2: Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior World", this style continues in every play, and Tony Jaa insists on not using any special skills, let alone the assistance of stand-ins and steel wires, street fighting and even street fighting. Flying over the wall is all real kung fu .

      The plot is a bit poor, and the translation is very 2. Some of the movements are not bad, but they are too few. In the end, how do you feel that it is a combination of Muay Thai and Tai Chi? Zhang Sanfeng's possession? A little disappointed
