I saw Ong Bak and I really liked it. Some of the stunts were fantastic. However, as Jet Li said (and, as I thought before, he wasn't just jealous 
), alot of the stunts have been borrowed from previous movies.
Take for example, Dragons Forever. In this they use many of the stunts(or variations). Similarly, to the barb wire jump in Ong Bak, Timothy Tung Tak-Biao jumps through a broken glass window.
They even replay certain kicks!
Also, the fighting is similar in some respects. Some of the major fight are decided with very few moves (that are usually kicks), which is very similar to Ong Bak.
Still, Ong Bak is a great movie, but it wasn't as ground breaking as I first thought (except the fire - kick, that was amazing!) Plus, seeing Tony Ja kind of show off at the release in the special features kind of lowered my opinion of the film.
And that's my rant of the day.
