steveromagnino Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Bullseye Steveromango. What does it translate as, Seven something House???? I think it means the 7 people who come face to face headon with the attackers of the house... literally it doesn't mean much seven meeting something head to head house but strung together it means the 7 people who come together to meet head to head with the attackers..something like that.... this is stretching my thai ability!

game4shame Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) slightly but I watched a british film set on Samui recently, 'the butterfly man'. Id imagine a good few TV members have seen it before. pretty ordinary storyline, acting and production tbh . that said, Id imagine the budget for the film wasnt the biggest. bizarre seeing Samui sights on film though.

GU22 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Strangely nobody has mentioned Tears of a Black Tiger and the follow up that was made in 2004 Citizen Dog (Maa Nakorn)Er........click on here, 10th and last on the list; Fa Talai Jone = Tears of the Black Tiger.Butterflyman? Crap film. So is The Beach. For a good western film set in Thailand, see The Tesseract. Based on an Alex Garland novel (as is The Beach), although the book is set in Manilla. A whole lot better than the Beach (not difficult), if only for 2 reasons; Alex Garland had a hand in the screenplay and it's directed by Oxide Pang.

Crap film. So is The Beach. Yes! Very bad movie that one. I wouldn't not have watched it (I dislike Leo) except my wife wanted me to see where the film was shot. So, I watched it for the scenery, which was the only thing nice about the film. For a good western film set in Thailand, see The Tesseract.

thaibebop Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I forgot Tae Guk Gee:The Brotherhood of War. Very good film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GU22 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 The Bodyguard, directed by and starring Mum Jokmok, is good. The action sequences are well choreographed, the plot ok, and it is most definitely not to be taken seriously. Very funny, the sequence with the water pistol is hilarious. The UK distributors, Momentum Asia, are marketing it as a follow up to Ong Bak, highlighting it as the "Return of Tony Jaa." He has a small cameo. As do many stars from Thai TV, movies and sport. BTW, Whitney Houston is not in it; neither is Kevin Costner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkmei Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I forgot Tae Guk Gee:The Brotherhood of War. Very good film. Is that the Korean one with body parts flying everywhere? I thought it was v. good too - but sthg that annoys me about certain Asian fims is the sudden sentimental music and rather melodramatic dialogue ...

I have noticed with Asian film that it's either no emotion what so ever, or completely over the top. It's like they are manic. Kind of fun though.

mittheimp Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Butterflyman? Crap film. I didnt want to be too blunt initially but, yep, its awful!! Just seen Butterfly Man. Yes, ok the plot is total nonsense and the lead man was poor - but it was quite entertaining none the less, some of it very authentically done. Mamee Nakprasite is far too pretty to be working in a back street Ko samui massage shop though - not very likely! Oh and has anyone been (or heard of other people) drugged in the way the main actor was in this film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
