Not to be confused with any obscene bunnys.
From Baa Ram Ewe.
This is a Thai romcom starring Jeeja Yanin (Chocolate and Raging Phoenix) as a bike messenger carrying 'stuff' for the mob and doing Jackie-Chan-esque comedy fights.
For DOOM, it offers the following:
Greg: Some nice shots of Thailand and a few funny plot twists
ED: midgets
CF: foot fetishism
KB: A clown that dressed badly, even for Thailand
PPFY: Funny fight feints
tg: elephant fights (this is only funny after you see it)
For all: absurdly silly fights but good action. starts a little slow - too much wire work - but then picks up speed later once they abandon their story arcs and focus on the fights. Jeeja is looking plain, not made up, and schoolgirl-ish, almost a bad Meg Ryan impersonation. she doesn't really carry the dramatic side well but she does kick ass and that's all that matters. It's never clear what the stuff is exactly - gotta assume drugs but it could be anything. I caught myself laughing several times, mostly a fight moves that were intentionally choreographed to be funny, but also at some of the general comedy of the film. Thai comedy is absurd, a little like Stephen Chow's mou lei tai, but not quite that over the top. No sword fights, but plenty of bike fu (although not quite on the level of Project A). Gun play, a good bike shop fight and It ends in a lumberyard warehouse fight. Warehouse fights are always my favs.
NOTE: I watched it without sound, as is my habit in the bungalow as it's so small and I don't want to keep the family up. The Thai language can be super annoying sounding, so that might spoil it with sound.
