![]() One thing that is definitely Thai is that, it is always darn hard to get your many back once you loan it out. The used of cartoon like in Kill Bill add some coloration to the movie. And she is so cute!!!! Did I say that already? The direction and editing was so-so but at least there are no repetition of each stunt from different angles shot which he did in Ong Bak, which I must say dated and lame!! So that is good news. A girl that kick ass girls always love that. ![]() Why this movie will work more than anything else was the casting of a female protagonist: Jeeja. The acting was so-so as expected, Thai actors are never was good, even years in the business they are still as horrible as they first day on the job. Jeeja is so cute!!! A fight scenes seem a bit too long. But it still work, cause if the series like Buffy the Vampire Slayer can make it big, this will put girls into an awe. Anyway the real action seems nice but much slower than men so it looks kind of odd and set up for each frame of shot. Zen was trying to get her money back to look after her sick mother. At least I feel the story has something more than trying to bring back the statue head to the village (Talk about Ong Bak). ![]() For what I see the movie has some potential (too much riff off) but it was an Asian action flick, so I won’t go serious on it. How can anyone complain about its story, it is like a bloody riff off Kill Bill plus Rain Man, and I see no one complain about that. For what I see this isn’t that bad of an idea, only which it has not been executed that properly. So I guess the studio mostly made this kind of movie just for the marketing scheme. Well, I’m Thai and there is something foreigner needs to know is that no matter what, Thai people will only (I meant ONLY) opted for action movie over everything else. The original full version that included these scenes has not been released anywhere in Thailand. Eventually not only were the split screen scenes removed, but any scenes that involved Zen performing moves that too closely resembled fight sequences from Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan movies were all cut as well. The warehouse scene was shot in a similar fashion, but this time it showed a split screen of Zen imitating Jackie Chan, wherein she would do her interpretation of a Jackie Chan fight routine. It showed a clip of Bruce Lee doing his fight moves at the same time as Zen was mimicking Bruce Lee's moves. The ice factory scene was originally shot as a split screen of Zen imitating the exact same moves she had seen Bruce Lee do in a fight scene from the movie The Big Boss (1971). ![]() These licensing problems also caused other scenes to be removed from the original movie. The film originally included Zen watching scenes from Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan movies (in addition to Tony Jaa), but these scenes were eventually cut due to licensing problems. ![]()
