Lack of good storyline.
Absolutely Fantastic
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
View MoreFanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
View MoreWhile "Dynamite Warrior" is no "Ong Bak", then it was still a very entertaining action and martial arts movie. And I sat down to watch it because I do like the Asian cinema quite a lot, and with this being a martial arts movie, then that was just all the better."Dynamite Warrior" certainly has lots of actions throughout the course of the entire movie. And it is what keeps the movie afloat, to be honest. This movie is rather fast paced.They had written in some rather interesting characters to fill out the movie. And the character gallery was working very well in favor of the movie.This was a good combination of action and comedy. The action and martial arts sequences were nicely choreographed. And these action and fighting sequences were equally executed on the screen.The story, though, was adequate. So don't expect anything extraordinary in terms of being bedazzled by a spectacular storyline or plot.All in all, "Dynamite Warrior" is an entertaining movie for anyone who enjoy the Thai martial arts movies.
View MoreThis is one weird movie. I guess the best way to describe this would be sort of a Thai version of Robin Hood in which the hero (Dan Chupong) uses rockets instead of arrows. And boy does this guy have some rockets! He has a ton of little rockets that he shoots at the bad guys and then there's the bad boy that he can ride like a surfboard! I'm definitely going to Thailand for my fireworks this year. And apparently he has flint in his fingertips to light these rockets. That's probably good because you really don't want to be wasting time fumbling around with matches when you are single handedly taking out a large group of cattle rustlers. This is one really weird movie that also features a man who can change from a goofy guy with hair that resembles a tidal wave to an older warrior guy who can fight with the best of them. There is also a wizard, at least I think that's what he was supposed to be, a tractor, talk of menstrual blood, and guys who seem to be possessed by spirits of animals that run like monkeys and can jump about fifty feet. Did I mention the hero rides a rocket? As for the fight scenes, since this is really what it's all about, they are mostly average. Dan Chupong is good, check out the much better "Born To Fight", but he doesn't have very many moves. He can do some Tony Jaa-like kicks and flying knees but they don't have quite the same ring to them as Jaa's. And the director of this movie really loves to show guys getting hit and then spinning in the air about ten times before hitting the ground. That's all good once in awhile but it gets old after about the fifth time. There is a couple of good stunts in the movie as well but unlike Ong Bak, this movie uses CGI and wirework for a lot of stunts. If you think a guy riding a big rocket would look ridiculous, you are absolutely right. And judging by some of the extras I watched, this was apparently supposed to be a comedy as well as an action movie. You will definitely laugh but not at the intended humor which doesn't translate well to the American audience. So in conclusion, the fight scenes were nothing special and this was a very weird movie.
View MoreReally now folks... this movie isn't nearly as bad as the low rating suggests. It's got it all: evil warlocks, would-be-rapists with cleft palates, herds of water buffaloes, menstrual blood, rocket-ridin' Thai fighters, cannibalism, and tons of knee-meets face action.While the action is a bit contrived and gets slightly old after a while, the sheer bizarreness of the plot and the few (unexpected) twists kept us going. It does pay off in the end.So yes, I was entertained, and this'll go on my shelf of off the wall Thai films. It's no Ong Bak or even Born to Fight, but it's certainly different. Rocket riding magical fighters... I mean, you can't make some of this stuff up! Worth a watch and a laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. A good 2am action film to watch with your buddies.
View MoreWatch this movie without expecting Ong-Bak or Tom Yum Goong and you might like it. The story is really basic but I guess I need to explain it a bit as there are no subtitles on the Thai DVD. French bring Tractor to Thailand in order to use it in agriculture but Thais refuse to use it over their cattle's. So the bad guy of the movie (some kind of rich man I suppose) hires some bandits in order to steal cattle's of this farmers.And our hero is some kind of Muay Thai Robin Hood (steals from the rich and gives it to poor) in cowboy outfit trying to stop all these ill behavior.There are some really spectacular Muay Thai moves thrown in this movie and I believe martial arts movie fans which are accustomed to no story - no acting but good action will like it
