    I loved Ong Bak and just ordered Tom Yum Goong from amazon. But I was wondering if I am correct in thinking that Tony Jaa's IMBD page is pretty much the definitive collection of all his movies??

    If not, does anyone know of any other movies he Stars in (or at least has a sizeable role).

    On another note does anyone have any recommendations for similar type of movies along the lines of Ong Bak and District 13 that are worth watching??

    Thanks in advance for the replies...

    Yeah, I noticed that one alright, although apparently Jaa isn't in it for very long, having said that, I might just pick it up anyway. Thanks for the relpy.

    don't really know of any other movies he's in alright. I'm pretty sure the bodyguard is a bit more comedic. The guy who plays his cousin in ong bak is the main star of it & Jaa just has a cameo as far as i know.

    Maybe check out Born to Fight. Its by the same stunt guys from Ong Bak & does have some impressive stunt sequences. more of a stunt movie than a martial arts movie though. Its worth a watch and you'll probably pick it up pretty cheaply

    dont bother with tony jaa. he's a one trick pony. if you want to watch some really good martial arts films check out yuen biao in the prodigal son or knockabout. both great films with amazing fights/stunts. yuen biao is the man!

    yeah yuen biao is pretty impressive alright, very acrobatic. Wouldn't quite call Jaa a one trick pony, his style of martial arts isn't going to look as spectacular as biao but i really like the fact that the hits actually look fairly real & painful. He also has some Jackie Chan-esque scenes in Ong Bak which are as athletic as pretty much anything you'll see in other martial arts movies!

    Thanks fellas, I ordered Born to Fight, that's pretty much what I was after, more the real stunts etc. was what I was seeking. I think I'll check out Yuen Biao too.
