Trailer Time: Bangkok Knockout, from the choreographer of Ong-Bak
As far as I can tell the plot of Bangkok Knockout is that the entire Thailand population has been infected by a disease that makes them ultra violent and turns their bodies into flaming trampolines. In other words I don't know what the hell the plot is, nor do I care. All I see is non-stop, ridiculously over-the-top fight choreography, which makes sense considering the director is Panna Rittikrai. If the name sounds familiar then you spend way too much time reading movie credits. Basically he was the fight choreographer for Ong Bak
, starring everybody's favorite elephant riding brawler, Tony Jaa. If you can believe it, Bangkok Knockout looks like a million times more frenetic than Ong Bak. This flick better make it's way here. If I can buy it on foreign DVD now I will. Price be damned. Check it out for yourself.
