BKO: Bangkok Knockout (2011)

BKO: Bangkok KnockoutThai Martial Arts films either tend to be weak on plot or too plot/theme-centric to be completely enjoyable (Ong Bak 3). The best of them tend to view their plots as merely incidental: getting Hero A to Position B to fight Villain C. This is one of those films... to the extreme. If you want your martial arts movies with a strong plot and emotional resonance (Really?), then you should look elsewhere. What you will find here is a wacky, intense, jaw-dropping spectacle where martial artists fight a giant, ax-swinging, flaming psychopath that could be Jason Voorhees' Thai cousin, a lunatic in a car, an asthmatic sadist, and probably the most insane "under a tractor trailer" fight you'll ever see. You'll finish watching this movie wondering how nobody DIED while making this film. And really, what more encouragement do you need than that?

I saw a screening of this film at Otakon 2011. Just a great Thai action flick in the tradition of Ong Bak & Born to Fight. The stunts and action set pieces will have you jumping for joy. This flick puts every western action movie made in the last 20 years to shame. I am very much looking forward to what the Thai action film makers come up with next.

With several surprises and twists in the story as the movie progresses...mixed with all around great action fights, I highly recommend giving this a try.

A sure to be cult classic and among my favorites of recent years...BKO delivers a knockout!!

The young men and women in this trained hard (as evidenced by bonus interviews on the disc) and delivered well with exciting fights ongoing throughout the film. Some CRITICS are too hard on this film and need to just take it for what it is and enjoy the product.

Give it a try and if anything, I'm sure you'll appreciate the amount of work they put in to bring this movie together!
