Member Drunken Monk Posted March 17, 2011 Member Share Posted March 17, 2011 This looks like more an all out comedy but Jeeja Yanin seems to have a few little bits of action here and there. Plus, she looks as cute as a button! L91cnxVYU_s& Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted March 17, 2011 Member Share Posted March 17, 2011 What's the English title for that? Bangkok Looney Tunes? (Loving those sound f/x!) Looks like it might be kind of funny with some decent action/MA tossed in. Nice find, DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted March 18, 2011 Member Share Posted March 18, 2011 What is the English title, and when does it come out it? It looks like it might be out already overseas... It definitely a comedy thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Chrisron Posted March 23, 2011 Member Share Posted March 23, 2011 Looks funny and awful at the same time. I will definitely watch it since Jeeja Yanin is in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member make believe Posted March 23, 2011 Member Share Posted March 23, 2011 This looks awful and awful at the same time. I may watch it one day but I have yet to see Raging Phoenix, as that too looks pretty bad. I have a feeling we won't see her in anything as good as Chocolate again.

Jakkalen is focus on comedy , you may know that Mum Jokmok is a director of this movie ( same as the bodyguard 1-2).Moreover, the main target of this movie is Thai. There is another movie of Jija which named "the kick" which will be launch in Thailand and Korea in May. And Prachya Pinkeaw is a director. There is also Tae kwan doe champion from Korea "Kim Kyung Suk " play with Jija in this movie. I think action fan should focus on this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-79Xy24VW5c&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member David Rees Posted March 24, 2011 Member Share Posted March 24, 2011 Make Believe, Give Raging Phoenix a shot, its not as good as Chocolate but its not bad, some of the action is good. IP MAN 1 AND 2 BLU RAY HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Keung Posted June 15, 2012 Member Share Posted June 15, 2012 It's chock full of Thai humour that only they would find funny, ladyboys with guns and fat guys in silly costumes. But, for anyone that's interested: I uploaded all the fight scenes to my YouTube channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member derwood Posted June 15, 2012 Member Share Posted June 15, 2012 there are some interesting fight sequences in Raging Phoenix but its pretty garbage as a whole kinda follows Tony Jaa's effort of Tom Yum Goong, even to the point that they both did a great film where the world went WOW look at that guy/girl, then they follow up with things that make you go mmm? haven't watched 'The Kick' yet but do have it sitting around. Looks kinda tv production so I dont hold high hopes...that said, Karate Girl was poorly produced & still had me quite entertained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey ShaOW!linDude....I don't want to jump the gun here, but based on your personal tastes from your mini-reviews, 'This Girl is Bad-Ass!' probably isn't going to hold a lot of entertainment value, unless you enjoy cross dressing comedy and lots of gurning, if you buy it I'd definitely recommend holding onto the receipt!

I knew it was supposed to be more comedy-driven. (Not big on the cross-dressing and I don't know what gurning is but doesn't sound very appetizing.) Maybe I need to check out the trailer again but I thought I remembered it have some neat bits of choreography. Regarding 'The Kick', you can check out my own thoughts on it here - http://koreanfilmfestivalinaustralia.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/action-month-review-kick-2011.html I did read that at the time. I'm still interested in seeing this though. I remember seeing some interesting bits in the trailers. But I do appreciate the fair warning. You know my MA expectations and preferences well.

Member Gaijin84 Posted June 4, 2013 Member Share Posted June 4, 2013 I watched this last night and was really disappointed. I've seen some good Thai comedies and this did not compare well in that regard. In terms of the action, it all looked rehashed to me - there was nothing that really stood out and Jeeja's scenes were at best somewhat entertaining. The stunt work was sloppy (you could see harnesses and such) and uninspired. If you're looking for something on par with Chocolate or Raging Phoenix you'd best avoid.

Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted June 7, 2013 Administrator Share Posted June 7, 2013 THIS GIRL IS BADASS was really poor. I knew that it was mostly a comedy and that it was meant to appeal to local audiences, but still... PU! First of all, Jeeja plays such a mean-spirited, selfish, thoughtless character, that I couldn't even root for her. She is a bike messenger, and she skims drugs from the packages that dealers give her to deliver. Okay, but then you'd figure that she uses the money from this stuff to help orphans or something, right? Nope. She just wanted the money. But doesn't this put her adopted Dad and the bike messenger boss and co-workers in danger? Yup. But it's okay, because she doesn't care about any of them. The action scenes were very slow and almost looked like filmed rehearsals to me. Lacking power, speed, and any originality, they were just looking very stale in general. There were a few moments here and there- part of the slow-motion fight in the rain was okay, and there were a couple of bits during the end ruckus that were cool. But for the most part... very disappointing. And I go easy on Thai cinema too. Despite their flaws, I really enjoyed RAGING PHOENIX and THE KICK. But THIS GIRL IS BADASS? I recommend avoiding it completely unless you are an absolute JeeJa fanatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
