Here’s Bangkok Dangerous for you

Bangkok Dangerous is the remake of Pang brothers’ debut Thai movie of the same name. The only difference is that the mute Thai hit man of the original 1999 movie is replaced by brooding but talking American assassin Joe (Nicholas Cage). This film is more stylish and less menacing with exotic locales and a romantic angle. Best is the surprising ending of the film which is quite uncharacteristic of the action flicks made in America. This adrenaline pumping action movie can be yours to see as many times as you like without spending even a single penny.

Synopsis

Joe, a lonely hit man, arrives in Bangkok after finishing his assignment in Prague to execute a series of contact killing. He is

under the contract to a mobster named Surat to kill four people including a trafficker of young girls and a politician. He hires Kong (Shahkrit Yamnarm), a street punk and pickpocket, after watching him in action to liaison with the gangsters. After a chanced encounter, he starts dating a pretty mute pharmacist who is oblivious of his profession. As he is further drawn towards the exotic charm of Bangkok, he starts questioning his isolated existence and let his guard down. Though Joe had initially planned to kill Kong before leaving Bangkok to cover his tracks, he strangely, finds himself turning into his mentor. But these meaningful distractions can prove dangerous to his job.

Movie Errors

How ever good a movie may be, there are always a few loop holes that can be found out even in the best of the works. Here are a few mistakes of the movie, which probably the director\producers of the movie could not locate, but sharp eyes of the viewers couldn’t miss them.

    Joe shoots two men while his girlfriend isn’t looking at him. Blood splatters all over his girlfriends back. The next shot of her back has hardly any blood at all.

Trivia

    The picture was shooting during the 19th September Coup d’etat. Nonetheless, filming only stopped for six hours. The Armoury department claim they fired the only shots in the coup.

Goofs For Pineapple Express

    Plot Holes: Joe twice declares that he lives by the rules, leave no traces. Yet throughout the movie, he handles his guns and ammo with bare hands–leaving fingerprints and DNA all over them.
    Continuity: IDuring the final shootout, the gun Joe is using switches between a Glock and a Sig Saur between shots.

Movie News

    Bangkok Dangerous: not so dangerous after all?
    October 3, 2008: When the Pang brothers were shooting the remake of their 1999 cult hit Bangkok Dangerous, in September 2006, production was held up by a military coup that deposed the Thai prime minister (and Manchester City owner) Thaksin Shinawatra.Filming was only held up for six hours, as Thai coups seldom disrupt daily life for long. However, Nicholas Cage, the star of the movie, demanded to have a Learjet on stand-by at the airport for the rest of the shoot. Obviously, Cage took the title of the movie way too seriously. Thai coups just aren’t that dangerous.

    ‘Bangkok Dangerous’ reaches No. 1 in slow weekend

    The overall box-office gross was $67.6 million, according to Media by Numbers, the lowest figure since 2003, when the figure was $66.7 million for the same September weekend.

Movie Reviews

Bangkok Dangerous is the story of a lonely assassin who grows lonelier with each execution he carries out until one day he decides that he must quit. But there is one last assignment he must complete before he can turn his back to his life of ruthless murders. This job finds him breaking the four rules that he had stuck to during his life as an assassin, one by one. Nicholas Cage as a brooding assassin has done a great job. But the original movie with deaf and mute assassin carried more substance. Cage trying to explain that he wants bandages to a deaf pharmacist makes one wonder what would happen if it was a life and death situation. Why not any other profession for her? Stunts and fights are thrilling with a racy narrative. Best is the end, which is most unexpected and unlike any of the usual Hollywood flicks. read more….
