BKO: Bangkok Knockout (2010) Review
Director: Panna Rittikrai Cast: Gitabak Agohjit, Speedy Arnold, Supakson Chaimongkol, Sorapong Chatree, Virat Kemgrad Running Time: 105 min. By HKFanatic Director and fight choreographer Panna Rittikrai has stated his goal in cinema is to push the human body to its limit. “BKO: Bangkok Knockout,” then, is his magnum opus. Panna builds on style of his 2004 free-for-all stunt spectacular “Born to Fight” and unleashes a film that either pays tribute … Continue reading

Demon Warriors (2007) Review
AKA: Opapatika Director: Thanakorn Pongsuwan Cast: Somchai Kemglad, Shahkrit Yamnarm, Leo Putt, Athip Nana, Ray MacDonald, Kemapsorn Sirisukha, Nirut Sirichanya, Pongpat Wachirabunjong Running Time: 106 min. By HKFanatic This is a movie I held off watching, largely because the DVD cover didn’t inspire much confidence. The cover blurb declared the movie was something like a “darker X-Men” but I figured it was just another cheesy Thai action flick in the … Continue reading
Dynamite Warrior | aka Tabunfire (2006) Review
AKA: Khon Fai Bin, Fire Warriors Director: Chalerm Wongpim Cast: Dan Chupong, Panna Rittikrai, Leo Putt, Puttipong Sriwat, Samart Tipthamai, Kanyapak Suwannakoot, Samart Payakarun, Kampanart Angsoongnern Running Time: 103 min. By HKFanatic Dan Chupong is a legitimate bad-ass. The stuntman/actor paid his dues with the famous Muay Thai Stunt team, performing stunts in “Ong Bak” (2003) before stepping in front of the camera to act in 2004’s “Born to Fight,” even … Continue reading

Mercury Man (2006) Review
AKA: Ma noot lhek lai Director: Bhandit Thongdee Cast: Wasan Khantaau, Metinee Kingpayome, Arnon Saisangchan, Jinvipa Kheawkunya, Parinya Kiatbusaba, Darunee Khrittabhunyalai Running Time: 101 min. By HKFanatic Supposedly the director of “Mercury Man” was targeting foreign markets with this film. If that’s the case, he’s got a long ways to go before this movie would successful in the West. At first glance, it’s a cool enough idea: a Thai superhero … Continue reading

SARS Wars: Bangkok Zombie Crisis (2004) Review
AKA: Khun krabii hiiroh Director: Taweewat Wantha Cast: Suthep Po-ngam, Supakorn Kitsuwon, Phintusuda Tunphairao, Lene Christensen, Somlek Sakdikul Running Time: 95 min. HKFanatic’s Review “SARs Wars: Bangkok Zombie Crisis” is the rare film that manages to live up to its outlandish title. For 90 minutes you’re treated to Thailand’s off the wall sense of humor and a parade of flesh-eating zombies, Asian schoolgirls, and exploding heads. This is not to … Continue reading
Tiger Blade, The (2005) Review
Director: Theeratorn Siriphunvaraporn Producer: Jirun Ratthanaviriyachai Cast: Atsadawut Luengsuntorn, Phimonrat Phisarayabud, Pongpat Wachirabunjong, Srungsuda Lawanprasert, Amornrit Sriphung, Chalad Na Songkhla, Annan Bunnak Running Time: 91 min. By HKFanatic Some guys have all the luck. At least that’s how I felt after watching this Thai action movie. I mean, not only does our hero carry the bad-ass codename of “Tiger Blade” but he’s a secret agent who answers to no one, … Continue reading
Fireball: Muay Thai Dunk | aka Fire Ball (2009) Review
Director: Thanakorn Pongsuwan Cast: Preeti Barameeanat, Khanutra Chuchuaysuwan, Kumpanat Oungsoongnern, Phutharit Prombandal, 9 Million Sam, Arucha Tosawat, Rattanaballang Tohssawat Running Time: 97 min. By HKFanatic You just got out of prison only to find out that your twin brother is a coma, beaten half-to-death by the same thugs he borrowed money from to ensure your release. So what do you do? If it’s the 80’s and you’re Jean Claude Van … Continue reading
Muay Thai Giant | aka Somtum (2008) Review
Director: Nonthakorn Thaveesuk Cast: Nathan Jones, Nawarat Techaratanaprasert, Sasisa Jindamanee, Chupong Changprung Running Time: 99 min. By HKFanatic “Somtum” is something of a novelty film, a Thai action movie that I suspect a lot of people are either going to love or think is the corniest thing ever. Personally, I got a kick out of this movie. It’s the first headlining vehicle for Nathan Jones, a guy that you’ve probably … Continue reading

Vengeance | aka Ekdikisi (2006) Review
AKA: Phairii Phinaat Paa Mawrana Director: Pleo Sirisuwan Cast: Nattanun Jantarawetch, Chalad Na Songkhla, Sorachai Sang-aakaat, Watchara Tangkaprasert, Nattaree Wiboonlert, Chirapat Wongpaisanlux Running Time: 90 min. By HKFanatic “Vengeance” is a slick, commercial flick from Thailand with a decent plot hook: some dangerous bandits have escaped from prison (though we never actually see their big breakout) and headed into a mystical forest. A steely-eyed cop with a dark past is … Continue reading
Sanctuary, The | aka The Warrior’s Path (2009) Review

By HKFanatic As a stuntman for Tony Jaa (“Ong Bak”), Mike B. probably had to learn to take a few hits. Unfortunately, he brings that same philosophy to his own starring vehicle, the Thai martial arts flick “The … Continue reading

By JJ Hatfield Before viewing “Ong Bak” 3 it is essential to have watched “Ong Bak” 2, or as some people refer to it as the first half of the film. It was written and planned as being one … Continue reading

By JJ Hatfield This movie was made right after the original Ong Bak. It is essentially the same team minus Tony Jaa replaced with Dan Chupong. The writer and director is Prachya Pinkaew, this being only his second time directing with Ong … Continue reading

Legend of the Tsunami Warrior (2008) Review
I watched this film and looked at a few short notes I jotted down. Where should I begin with a review? I admit I watched this twice and still experienced more than a few WTF moments. The premise is very broadly based on a mythical place and time with a kingdom on the sea. Okay, I can follow that. I guess. There are three princesses, or sisters, or maybe one … Continue reading
