Will Ong Bak director Prachya Pinkaew ever make a martial arts film that doesn't revolve around fighters trying to reclaim some stolen object? Probably not, honestly, but he is at least making the object a little more reasonable in scale with The Kick.
Couple and former Taekwondo champs Moon (Jo Jae-hyeon) and Yun (Ye Ji-won) settle down in Thailand and open a Korean restaurant and Taekwando school. Their three kids are interested in different things; the teenage boy is crazy about Kpop, the girl loves football and Thai dance and only the youngest boy shows any interest in Taekwando. There, the family made friends with Mum and his niece Wah Wah (Jeeja Yanin), a talented muay Thai boxer. Their live changes when the family and their friends become involved with Korean mobsters who've stolen some ancient daggers.
The Korean distributors were first out of the gate with a trailer for this one, a trailer that focused - unsurprisingly - on the Korean cast. But that Thai's are in the game now, too, with a completely new trailer that focuses heavily on local stars Jija Yanin (Chocolate) and Mum Jokmok (Ong Bak). For some reason it also features an octopus being torn in half. But PETA-angering or no this new Thai trailer is far and away the most exciting piece released for the film yet. Take a look below.
