Well Go USA Unveils The Trailer For Panna Rittkrai's VENGENACE OF AN ASSASSIN!
When it comes to delivering memorable action sequences on film, late legendary stunt auteur and filmmaker Panna Rittikrai has led quite the eclectic career, having left a lasting impression on fans with a number of films in the last several decades. Without question, each title pulls out more and more stops to blow away audiences to the point of heart-pounding trepidation, and the proof is in the pudding. That said, the proof couldn’t be more prevalent in his final piece of work, Vengeance Of An Assassin, which released theatrically in Thailand late last year reuniting Rittikrai with action star Dan Chupong since Dynamite Warrior and the 2004 remake of the action classic, Born To Fight. Of course, reviews differ between those who’ve seen the film already, but there’s no mistake when it comes to the cinematic standard that Rittikrai had become so well known for up until passing away last […]
Guest Review: VENGEANCE OF AN ASSASSIN (2014)
SYNOPSIS: Being an assassin has its rules – always keep your eyes on your target, be strict on your mission, execute without any hesitation and there is no room for negotiation. Each killer has his own background, but all of them have trade in their blood and losses. For Natee, his only reason in becoming an assassin and leaving behind his brother and his uncle is to find the truth about his parents’ death. It is the issue that he has always doubted and felt that uncle Thanom was hiding something from him. While protecting Ploy, a niece of a local business man from a group of assassins, he was asked to kill the girl instead. REVIEW: Tonight I had the pleasure of attending the premier of Panna Rittikrai‘s last film before his sad, sudden and untimely death, Vengeance Of An Assassin. The usual pomp and stance of a premier […]
Playtime Gets Painful In A New Clip From VENGEANCE OF AN ASSASSIN!
Late director Panna Rittikrai‘s final feature film, Vengeance Of An Assassin just had its screenings at the American Film Market as well as a red carpet premiere in Thailand before its Friday release, and while no reviews are out just yet, the featurettes being released to promote the film have yet to disappoint. That said, the film has just unleashed its first clip illustrating action star Dan Chupong getting down and dirty in the much-hyped “Fighting Soccer” scene in the film. There’s no word yet on how it fits into the story which sees Chupong in the role of an assassin infiltrating one of his own to avenge the death of his parents, but needless to say, if you’re looking to be mindblown, the style of choreography designed for the full-contact shots seen here speak for themselves, in addition to the first trailer. Check out the clip below!
AFM 2014: Character Posters And Three Featurettes Arrive For VENGEANCE OF AN ASSASSIN
Late filmmaker and Thai action icon Panna Rittikrai departed us back in July. But in turn, he made sure he went out doing what he loved most, which, for all intents and purposes, included entertaining the hell out of us both in front, as well as behind the camera. As such, his parting gift, now in the form of Vengeance Of An Assassin, looks to do one of either of those things, with action star Dan Chupong who literally comes in with guns (and feet) blazing in several new behind-the-scenes clips for the new film. Chupong stars as Natee, an assassin whose assignment to kill the daughter of a local businessman goes awry when he refuses, all the while secretly infiltrating the same circles where he suspects to find the people responsible for the death of his parents. This plot is a perfect set up for just the kind of […]
Generations Of Indonesian Action Collide In Two New Teasers For GARUDA 7!
Indonesia’s role in action cinema has been well rooted in history, long before Welsh director Gareth Evans set the benchmark for the genre with his most recent successes on films like Merantau and The Raid films. As such, household names like Barry Prima and Willy Dozan (a.k.a. Billy Chong) have earned their fair amount of star power over the past several years before Indonesia’s role in action film production diminished. Well, with the slow-yet-graceful uptick in independent production, both actors are now poised to re-emerge with a well-blended cast of other seasoned action stars and young performers in writer and debut director Baf Sjamsuddin‘s newest action-packed feature adventure, Garuda 7. The last four years have been nothing short of a journey for Sjamsuddin while working to get this project funded and going. Now, as Sjamsuddin works closer to seeking international sales representation, he and his team over at Lifevolution Pictures […]
The New Trailer For Panna Ritrikrai's VENGEANCE OF AN ASSASSIN Will Set You On Fire!
It was on an April day early last year that the internet first heard murmurs of the production of a new potentially blowout action thriller, Vengeance Of An Assassin, a film that would evidenly reunite the now-late legendary Thai action icon and director Panna Rittikrai, and leading man Dan Chupong. The film follows their previous work together on Chupong‘s starring role 2004 remake flick, Born To Fight, in addition to the 2007 action adventure, Dynamite Warrior, two films among a handful of actioners as the Thai film industry gained more popularity since actor Tony Jaa broke out with Ong Bak in 2003. As of late though, it feels like there has been a bit of a sea-change as these types of action films are taking a lot more time to come out. Regarding Vengeance Of An Assassin, info has been broadly scant about this movie since Twitchfilm spoke on it […]
