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 summer.
Thankfully, Well Go USA has extended its hand in delivering Rittikrai‘s last work to your front door next month, and as such, there’s a trailer for it. Check it out right now and stay tuned for more info.
SYNOPSIS:
The Assassins’ Code: Stick to the mission. Never take your eyes off the target. Show no mercy.
Natee (Dan Chupong) became a killer for one reason- to discover who killed his parents. As he gets closer to uncovering a secret network of power and corruption, he’s double-crossed on a job, making him a target and everyone he loves in danger.
Betrayed, exposed, and hunted by the deadliest killers in the business, now Natee has a new code. Be faster. Stronger. Hit harder. Survive.
Director, fight choreographer of ONG BAK and mentor to action star Tony Jaa, Panna Rittikrai reunites with Dan Chupong of BORN TO FIGHT (2004) in his final film.
Native New Yorker. Been writing for a long time now, and I enjoy what I do. Be nice to me!

looks nice…
but i don't want to watch this:/ because it is just inflicting violence upon the stunt doubles. While the viewers enjoy the fun bizarre insane movie, the stunt doubles are the ones being hurt 🙁

As per your comment on my article on Rurouni Kenshin's release in the UK, maybe perhaps that's why you shouldn't steal movies, lest you wish to harm them further.
Stunt performers perform stunts because its their passion. I would known this as I talk to stunt performers on a daily basis – although it should not take that much to comprehend why bootlegging movies is wrong. You can't be compassionate for movie workers whilst advocating for the blatant theft of movies. You start to sound like an asshole after a while.

say what you want, for I don't care.
In the end, when I see these movies pirated, I end up buying them.
I would rather pirate a movie then buy it, than not see the movie at all.
Tell me which one of them is worst.
If I don't see the movie at all, therefore it means the film makers wasted their time.
