Martial Arts star Tony Jaa, best known for his work in the film Ong-Bak, has joined a Buddhist Monastery in Surin, Thailand. The move comes after a failed attempt at directing the first Ong-Bak sequel, and the poor box-office showing of Ong-Bak 3. The now bald actor took his vows on May 28th and will serve as a monk for at unknown amount of time.

I sincerely hope that this trend makes its way to Hollywood.  After the disappointing failure of Sex and the City 2, it would be nice to see the cast forced to join a Catholic convent deep in the Italian back country, or to have Shia LaBeouf commit ritual suicide to alleviate the shame he feels for Indiana Jones 4 and Transformers 2. God be praised! (SlashFilm)

Remember in Ong Bak 2 when Tony Jaa vaulted off an elephant’s face in order to kick a guy extra hard (footage here)? How do you top that? With more elephants, stupid. And this time dress them up. Audiences like it when animals think they’re people.

The trailer for Ong Bak 3 has arrived. I’m not totally sure about the film’s plot specifics (or if it has one), but I can tell you that Tony Jaa is going to kick dudes’ asses in ways you never thought possible. For instance, in the trailer he uses his own groin to smack a guy in the face. Imagine how bad you would feel if a dude beat you senseless using his donger as weapon. I didn’t know that could be done. Is d*ckboxing a thing? (Film School Rejects)

Watch guys get knocked off elephants after the jump…
