The POWER KIDS Give Evil A Knee To The Face!
It was just a couple days ago that I was writing about the promo reel for the Prachya Pinkaew-produced kids action film Power Kids at the European Film Market and commenting on how it was sad that there was no trailer for the film available yet. And then today Mack posted up a couple of new posters for the picture. And now, hey looky, Wolf just pointed me to a grainy but serviceable version of the Thai theatrical trailer. And, yes, the double knee to the head is in there. Plot? Johnny Nguyen is the head of a gang of gun-toting bad guys who can only be stopped by a quintet of muay thai fighting kids. The film is to Ong Bak what The Goonies was to Raiders of the Lost Ark, basically.
You can find the trailer below the break, hopefully we'll be able to replace it with a higher-res version soon. And for those wondering what's up with Tony Jaa and Jeeja Yanin turning up in the opening moments, the promo reel used the same gimmick. The text basically translates to "Tony Jaa found fame in his twenties. Jeeja Yanin found fame in her teens. And now ..." bam, crash, thwack, etc.
