Chai Lai Angels - Drunk Monk - 12-23-2009
It's Thai, but not from Baa Ram Ewe, being distributed by Magnet who did Ong Bak 2 and Red Cliff. It's Charlie's Angels Thai style (get it? chai lai?) so there's 5 angels. In addition to the three standard hottie angels, the two extras include a homely one (and a love interest of the hunky boy cop) and the other is, of course being Thai, a katooie (M2F tranny). All the angels are buffoons. There's a kidnapped girl that kicks all the kidnapper's asses in a hand2hand fight. There's a gratuitous clad-only-in-towels fight, a gratuitous pajama fight (wet pajamas even), a gratuitous underwear dance and a gratuitous undercover erotic dance. There's a grotesque M2F villain toady who gets stripped to underwear in the towel fight. There's a midget and giant pair of villain - there main attack method is for the giant to swing the midget like a bat. There's a cross-eyed villain hottie who often stabs/shoots the wrong person and drives the wrong direction. There's a bleach blonde chick villain that fights with ribbons. There's a black villain with dreads that is repeatedly labeled for his skin color. Oh, and the tranny angel is capable of super human strength when angered. The way to anger her is to grope her butt and fondle her breasts.
All that being said, this film really sucks. There's no nudity at all. The fights are all horribly mediocre. The comic absurdity fails to deliver. It's a shame, given the potential of everything listed above. It stands as a great could-have-been-DOOM-worthy flick, but DM jumped on that grenade for you all, no thanks needed.
Here's the towel fight, which is very lame.

Here's the ending blooper reel and the teaser for the next film, which is also lame.

The whole film is on youtube at this time. I was trying to find the kid fight, which is almost not lame, but I got bored looking for it.

Aren't they against nudity in their films ala India or am I just confused?
hmm, there could be... - Drunk Monk - 12-28-2009
...which would be very ironic since there's open prostitution and drug use there. But you can't take a Buddha statue out of the country. Wacky Thailand... :roll:

And yet here they sell Buddhas at the flower stands in Ralph's so you can put them in your gardens. Riddle me that one, Batman?

It's also an mp3 player. How come that doesn't happen other religions? I want to clean my toilet bowl with a product called Catholic. Where's the iJew?

I had to dig for this review because I'm headed to a screener tonight (can you guess what? ttt-ing this thread is a total giveaway).
I saw TQ's iJew comment and literally spit out my tea laughing. Not sure why that struck me as so funny just now. Sometimes it takes me a decade to get the joke?

If your screener is up here and you sre bored, you know where to find me. I get off work at 8:30 if you want to drink before driving.

Sorry no. It’s at our old haunts, El Paseo, just a short drive from my mom’s where I am right now.
