Summary: With its loud acting style, exuberant sets and stunning shots in pastel colours, this Thai cult film is as much a parody as an homage to the Western and the romantic jearjerker. (imdb)
I can see what the director was going for here, and there are frequently beautiful images, but the wonky editing, god-awful music and bad pacing conspire to turn this into something less than fun.
"Cult Thai movie that mixes painfully colorful 50s Western sets and costumes, cheesy romance, melodramatic tragedy, over-the-top bloody modern-style violence with traditional Thai elements like a marriage. The movie isn't truly bizarre or extremely gory, it's just strange because of its absurd mix of genres and in-your-face artificial set backdrops."
Bizarre Thai Western flick, it's basically a soap opera love triangle interspersed with stylized and comically gory cowboy shootouts. It's got a unique style with brightly painted backdrops, supersaturated colors and melodramatic music swells to punch up all the intentionally corny acting during the big moments. The plot is pretty formulaic, but this movie is bold and different and thoroughly entertaining.
So close to being awesome but the story just drags, still interesting though. The pastel coloring and throwback sets are things I would really like to see more of in the films of today, they seem to add this whole artistic surreal feeling to everything.
When they do the Western in Thailand, how they call it? Eastern? Anyway. This flick which is parodicaly shot in red and green makes you laugh for some time, but the result does not carry till the end. Maybe in certain mood it could be fun, but Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill humour is actally not my cup of tea. Extra points of original output.
