Trailer for Thai-Action Drama IN THE SHADOW OF THE NAGA

No comments:

















source Twitchfilm
In Thailand they've caused a bit of an issue on ratings of films shown and made in there country especially alot of bad/negative comments. Like any new laws theres always loosers but there is also alot of winners and the trailer below NAK PROK (In The Shadow Of The Naga).
The movie is set in a Bhuddist Monastery which has been built over where alot of money or treasure was buired. In order to retrieve the loot 3 criminals must enter the monastery as monks. Thailand is an very passionate country about religion and Bhuddism especially and in this film there is scenes of violence against the monks as well as scenes of the criminals been ordained as monks and a few years ago this would have been a big no no and the movie would have been banned. You think about it anywhere where religion which is a big part of peoples lives or anything sensative which was protrayed violently would be cut big style or even banned.
The movie has been given a 20+ rating which is a bit of an weird rating but then again in some states in USA you have to be 21 to drink alcohol legally. I wonder if On Golden Pond was released would it get a 65+ rating???

here's the trailer in english subtitles:

sources We Are Movie Geeks

I'd be honest and say I've never seen a Tony Jaa movie, so what Ong Bak 1 & 2 (which was just out a few months ago!) is about I couldnt tell you. What I do know about Tony he is one the leading actors in Martial Arts movies, he mixes styles creating his own unique brand.
Dont expect much plot or even talking to that matter, but thats not in a nasty way about the movie. The techinical ability of this guy is unbelievable and his fighting skills do all the talking. Watching the trailer below is like watching a music video but once again its not a criticism, its just Tony Jaa. As for what the plot is I dont actually know but if youve seen movie two it is a continuation of how things ended, as ive been told.

Movie three is out in Thailand this April, enjoy the trailer....

十月圍城 - Bodyguards and Assassins extended trailer

No comments:

Ive seen a number of different version of trailers for this movie and havent bothered posting it but I decided what the heck, why not! apparantely the first trailer was to set the mood for the film with the next one sets up the movies story, little unsure what the third one is but this one like what Twitchfilm says proves Hing Kong action movies is alive and well and back up with with a fantastic replica Old  1900's Hong Kong set sets this movie up to be a big monster of a movie!
The movie is all about the bodygaurds of Dr.Sun Yat-Sen (regarded as the father of modern Chinese communism) during 1905 who attempt to protect him from the onslaught of assassins. Director Teddy Chan has brought together of virtually everyone in who's who of Chinese cinema: Nicholas Tse, Simon Yam, Tony Leung Ka-Fai, Leon Lai to Donnie Yen, Eric Tsang, Fan Bingbing, Hu Jun, to name a few...
The movie will be released in Hong Kong in a few weeks on December 18th and the movie has been bought for the Britsh, Canadian, Koren and Middle East cinema but there's no release date yet.....
