Starring: Tony Jaa, Panna Rittikrai (legacy tribute), Mum Jokmok, Marrese Crump

“The body is a weapon… but the heart decides where the final strike lands.”

In ONG BAK 4 (2026), the legend of Ting (Tony Jaa) is reborn when a stolen sacred relic, bound to the very first Ong Bak statue, resurfaces in a lawless border town. The relic has become the ultimate prize in a savage underground tournament, where fighters are mutilated for sport and streamed worldwide as “real-death entertainment.” When Ting finally tracks it down, he uncovers a darker truth: the arena was secretly engineered using the teachings of his late master (Panna Rittikrai—honored through flashback training sequences and archival-style tributes), perverting Muay Boran into a merciless, weaponized spectacle.

Mum Jokmok returns as the comic yet fearless sidekick, now operating a crooked fight gym that becomes Ting’s sole base of operations. Standing across from him in the ring is a relentless enforcer portrayed by Marrese Crump, whose fighting style fuses raw street brutality with lightning-fast, acrobatic counters specifically designed to dismantle Muay Thai. From bone-crunching single-take battles in narrow alleys and temple courtyards, to a no-cut stairwell brawl and a climactic showdown atop bamboo scaffolding over a burning river, ONG BAK 4 delivers pure, old-school, no-wire, no-CG carnage.

Rating: 9.5/10 – raw, reverent, and a brutal love letter to the legacy of Tony Jaa and Panna Rittikrai.
