An ‘80s action movie dripping with double cheese and cranked up to maximum volume, this flick is a greasy, guilty treat. Thailand¹s 2001 hit stars four of that country¹s most popular comedians as crazed n¹ cranky hitmen who get so tangled up in their own plotlines that the entire movie explodes around them into a surreal, amphetamine-tweaked fiesta. 



Bae Puffgun has just gotten out of jail and he¹s hired for a hit on the Iron Cop. He and his partners, Ghost Rifle and Dog Badbomb, only manage to step in it, though, when the sudden appearance of tormented assassin, Kit Silencer, throws off their game. Then it turns out that it wasn¹t Bae Puffgun who was supposed to be hired for the job, but Pae Buffgun. Now, the only solution is a bullet in the back of the head for everyone involved. But old hitmen don¹t go down easy, especially when cinema¹s first non-annoying Elvis impersonator is on their side.



Set in a future where foreigners have over-run Thailand and all-prostitute pleasure islands float languidly off the coast, this picture swept the Thai film awards (winning Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Comic Actor, Most Promising Actress and Best Fight Scene Choreography). Swerving from one emotional tone to another it¹s an anything-goes 24-hours-a-day midnight movie that runs faster than an athlete on ephedra and explodes in your gut like a sugar bomb.
