JUKKALAN With Jija Yanin Gets Appropriate English Title...

Ho ho, this is pure marketing gold.

Usually, we don't devote an entire post just for the sake of reporting the English title of a foreign film but this is just too fun to pass up.  At the Cannes Film Festival, Sahamongkol Film International was out promoting their films line-up and among them is Jukkalan, an action comedy with leading action star Jija Yanin (aka Jeeja Yanin) and comedian Mum Jokmok (aka Petchai Wongkhamlao).  The company has come up with a clever name for the international version which is being prepared for delivery in July and after hearing about it, I gotta say they really hit the nail on the head.  Can you guess what it is?  Alright, let me tell you.  The English title is...waaiitt for itttt....waaiitt for itttt....This Girl Is Bad-Ass.  How cool is that, eh?

To help illustrate why this title is appropriate, I have embedded two fight workshop video below, courtesy of Jeeja Yanin's News facebook.  The resolution ain't so great but it gives us an idea how Yanin is able to kick some ass with a bike.
