* HypeBacklash: With its intense action and colourful quirks, ''Ong-Bak'' paved a new way in the martial arts cinema and managed to stay high for many years, helped by its sister film ''Film/TomYumGoong'' and its up to eleven action. However, after films like ''Film/{{Merantau}}'' and ''Film/IpMan'' surfaced on its wake, people realized that martial arts films of the same caliber could be worked out with actual plots and drama beyond the typical action flick ExcusePlot, and their opinion ''Ong-Bak'' became tepid over the years (although it is still considered an undisputed classic).

* SignatureScene: The scene where Ting fights 3 fighters in a row in the underground fight club is this for the first film. While the film has a number of spectacular scenes, this one tends to be most remembered by fans.
