Screenwriter "Bangkok Knockout" (Bangkok Knockout) Jonathon Cimino told readers of his blog about two Thai action films that will begin filming in 2011.
One scenario Simino wrote for Pannas of Rittikrai, who is already ready to shoot his next film. Unfortunately, the screenwriter could not talk about the project in detail, since it is the property of the studio “Sahamongkol Film International” and at the moment it is prohibited to post any information.

Taweesuk has been working in the Thai film industry for 8 years. He is not only a director, but also a video editor, screenwriter and cameraman, so he is perfectly suited for such a project.

But she is not just a singer and actress, she is a former Thai champion in taekwondo, known to fans of Thai action films from the films “Born to Fight” (Born to Fight) and “Somtam” (Somtum). In addition, the film will feature most of the main characters. "Bangkok Knockout".

The dude in the first frame on the bottom video looks exactly like Don “Dragon” Wilson!)))
They have another guy who looks a lot like a young Donnie Yen.
EvilDollaR, what kind of movie is "Aukmen"?
The film was directed by Dave Ismalone (Mad Dog from Ong-Bak). Among those who took part are the following:
Somrak/Somluk Kamsing (the one who should fight with JKVD. He trained Messrs. Ahmad Al-Sulaiti).
Kaoklai Kaennorasing, Muay Thai champion.
Nong Tum (transsexual, former Muay Thai champion).
Naruepol Fairtex (K-1).
Ajarn Apidej Sit-Hirun (seven-time Muay Thai champion, kicks with such force that he once broke his opponent's arm with a kick. Now works as a trainer).
Yodsangklai Fairtex was also supposed to take part, but was preparing for a fight with Farid William.
The film is available on trackers, at least in VCD format (without translation).
wait another half month?!
There is silence on the website of Magnet Releasing distributors... We must wait for the Thai DVD, but so far we have not been able to find information about the release date.
Something unnoticeable.... When did Bangkok Knockout come out? It's probably been about half a year now...
The premiere was on December 16, exactly 3 months ago.
Thai films on VCD and DVD are usually released 3 and a half months after their release in Thai cinemas.
Wow, I wanted to ask the same thing.... Some bullshit is happening with Asian films - it takes a year and a half to reach a “wide” audience ((
Tell me, who knows when the Bangkok knockout will appear on the Internet?
