Passing of a Fighter
Thai martial-arts choreographer, actor and film director Panna Rittikrai, best known for his work mentoring action star Tony Jaa on the worldwide hit movies “Ong-Bak” and “Tom-Yum-Goong”, succumbed to liver disease on Sunday, his family announced yesterday. He was
The stunt-master’s condition was revealed on the TV news last month, with images showing him in his hospital bed after losing 20 kilograms, shocking those who hadn’t even known he was ill.
Panna first fell ill last November and appeared to respond to treatment. He was re-admitted to Lat Phrao hospital again in April after his condition worsened. Doctors diagnosed a brain abscess that was later determined not to be malignant and was removed during surgery, with his studio Sahamongkol Film covering all the expenses.
Director and long-time friend and collaborator Prachya Pinkaew visited him for the last time about two weeks ago and told the press that Panna had greatly improved, his memory was returning and that he was gaining weight.
However, his condition deteriorated and he died on Sunday at pm at the hospital.
Word of his passing reached the Thai media and social networks, and tributes were soon pouring in.
On Twitter, Panna’s former protege Jaa posted a photo of the two smiling as they posed in front of a poster for one of their hit movies, “Tom-Yum-Goong”. “No matter the difficulties in relationships, people should be happy at the end of the day. Rest in peace old friend,” Jaa said.
Director Gareth Evans, who brought
Indonesian martial-arts cinema to the world in much the same way Panna put Thai action on the global map, also paid tribute on Twitter. “What Panna and Jaa did with “Ong-Bak” revitalised martial-arts cinema. The importance of that film on the genre is huge.”
On Facebook, Thai film expert Don Saron, lamented Panna’s passing, and ex Do you feel this content is inappropriate or infringes upon your rights?

The original series spawned many copycats, and the recent movies also spawned copies. As the new movies decided to be action comedies, so did many of the copycat movies. And since the new movies decided to not be very good, the copycats decided to one-up them and be even worse! One of those copies is reviewed here today. The film from Thailand was originally entitled Chai Lais or Chai Lais Angels, and eventually became known as Dangerous Flowers. I wonder what the “Chai Lai” trying to sound like&#; Charlie&#;s Angels copies from Asia are vary common, we even reviewed Asian Charlie&#;s Angels a while back. We get five beautiful Thai women who fight crime, fail at their missions, and blow stuff up. The film begs you to not take it seriously, yet then throws in a few people getting killed violently just to screw with you. The film has a few quirks in the subtitles, firstly they refer to the girls as &#;chai Lais&#;, notice how the first letter of chai is not capitalized. It never is, but the L in Lai is always capitalized. I don&#;t know what that means, but it probably means something stupid. So we&#;ll got with it for the entire review. Take that, bad subtitles! We got five Angels, excuse me, FLOWERS, who we will just hit the Roll Call for now, as well as the peripheral characters. The film is forgettable, unexceptional, and nothing you haven&#;t seen before. Unless you are blind, in which case you probably aren&#;t reading this anyway. Or are you? The Gist: Young Thai police officer Deaw just made one of the biggest busts of his young career. Alongside his partner, he nabbed the infamous General Yang. The victory for Deaw, however, was short lived as his partner was killed during Yang’s apprehension. Deaw decides to take some time away and goes on a trip with his younger sister to a small village to deliver donated items. It is while there that the village is attacked and taken hostage by the remnants of General Yang’s army. Now Deaw must do everything possible to stop the attackers from securing the release of their tyrant General. Every action movie needs a guy jumping while shooting two pistols… well in Thailand they do that shit on top of a moving semi truck. The Cast: The story of this movie isn’t what drives the film. It is the action scenes that make this movie watchable. The cast are nothing memorable. Dan Chupong plays the lead hero Deaw, but unlike other Thai action movies like Ong Bak, this one is more of a team effort when it comes to saving the day. Kessarin Ektawatkul plays Deaw’s sister. I mention her because she has also starred in a couple of action flicks herself and after seeing her in this one I just might check out her other stuff. The other athletes who accompany them on the trip are all real athletes and not actors. This becomes painstakingly obvious when you see them act. It does, however, lead to some acrobatic action later in the movie. The villagers are there for two reasons, and that is to get shot and scream loudly. Gymnastics will seem a bit cooler after watching this movie. The Villain: General Yang is the main villain in this one but his men have more of a presence in this than he does. I know he uttered a few lines early in the movie but I don’t think he said a word in the final hour of the film. His troops are the real villains in this as they probably killed about 70% of the villagers. I don’t recall the
How do you pull of something like this on the big screen? Handily enough for us there's a new behind the scenes reel from the film that shows us. It's one hell of a goofy premise, yeah, but the execution looks pretty damn great. Check it out below.The Vanquisher
