ONG BAK 3 (2026) — The Legend Strikes Back
Starring: Tony Jaa, Panna Rittikrai, JeeJa Yanin
“When the bell forgets your name, let your elbows remind it.”

Synopsis: A stolen temple reliquary pulls Tien (Tony Jaa) from quiet exile into Bangkok’s underground “heritage fights,” a syndicate streaming sacred artifacts as trophies.

Guided by the iron‑willed teachings of Kru Panna (Panna Rittikrai) and joined by blade‑swift guardian Naree (JeeJa Yanin), Tien strikes through sweat‑slick alleys, klong boat chases, and a lantern‑lit rooftop duel blending Muay Boran and krabi‑krabong.

Highlights flash: a one‑take market melee with ladders and drums, a tuk‑tuk pileup turned flying‑knee launch, and an elephant‑yard gauntlet in monsoon rain. Final stinger: the gong hits, and the syndicate’s champion doesn’t flinch—until the elbow lands.

Review: Bruising, breathless, and tactile—bone‑true impact, old‑school stuntcraft, and reverent fire. Jaa is thunder; Yanin is a blade; Rittikrai’s spirit forges the edge. If the cut holds, expect goosebumps and bruises in equal measure.
