Fighting Beat

In Germany it was released as part of the Fighting Beat "trilogy", not that this has anything in common with those other movies other than they are all from Thailand and are action orientated. This tries to up the action sequence ante, by making many of them being "on the move" (bikes and other things getting involved or being used by one or multiple participants).

The action is working, the humor another factor this tries to use as much as possible to distinguish itself from other action movies, might not hit home as often as the punches do. Depending on your sense of humor or the bar you're setting for the jokes. Not a bad effort if you consider the action sequences, but not a good overall movie either

A good movie with a great mix of comedy and action...

If you enjoy the Jackie Chan style movies of comedy and action mixed together with a bunch of physical acrobatics and stunts, then you will definitely also light "Jukkalan" (with the amazingly bad English title of "This Girl is Badass").

The story is about Jukkalan (played by JeeJa Yanin) who lives with Wang (played by Petchtai Wongkamlao (who also directed the movie). Jukkalan works as a bike messenger, delivering questionable goods to an even less questionable clientèle. The young Duan (played by Chalerm Yamchamang) is in love with Jukkalan, but she doesn't acknowledge him or his courting, as she has her eyes set on Pong (played by Sthit Amornvej). Things heat up and turn dangerous as various questionable bosses wants their goods and the bike messengers soon find themselves in over their heads.

Storywise, then "Jukkalan" was adequate. The story was simple and very easy to follow, however it was simple to the point where it was starting to be a tad too much. But the pace of the movie, the action and the chance to see JeeJa Yanin in a comedic action role more than makes up for the lack of a proper storyline.

Something that really had be puzzled were the characters in the movie. Most of them were really odd and hilarious, not to mention very much out there.

While "Jukkalan" doesn't match "Chocolate" or "Raging Phoenix", it is a must watch for all fans of JeeJa Yanin.

This Lightweight Yarn Lives Up to its Title!

"Bodyguard" director Petchtai Wongkamlao's exciting, but superficial martial arts, action-romantic comedy about a ball-breaking babe and her misadventures as a bike messenger for opposing crime bosses qualifies as fun from start to finish. An orphan girl, Jukkalan (JeeJa Yanin of "Chocolate"),lives with her Uncle Wang (Petchtai Wongkamlao),and courts death and danger daily as she smuggles contraband. Jukkalan isn't prepared for what happens after she steals drugs from a greedy gangster, Boss Piak Pakkred (Anek Intajan),who speaks with a hilariously high-pitched whine. Despite his effeminate voice, Pakkred isn't faint of heart. He is a trigger-happy dastard with no qualms about shooting his own men dead on the spot if they have not done as he bid them. If it weren't bad enough for Jukkalan, she exacerbates his problem when she steals from another crime boss, Boss Cha (Udom Songsaeng),to repay Pakkred. Wongkamlao never lets the fleet-footed action bog down, and he keeps things lively with some clever dialogue and splendidly choreographed fight sequences between our heroine contending with dozens of heavies. Wongkamlao doesn't spend all his time on Jukkalan's long-running battle with the villains. He has other characters, too. Everybody seems to be in love with a person that has no idea how much they idolize them. Jukkalan has flipped head over heels for a young hunk who sings and strums a guitar. Although she doesn't realize it, Jukkalan is the object of affection for another guy. She knows him, but she doesn't pay him any mind. As it turns out, the people that some people are infatuated with have no use to them. The fight scenes are wonderful, with Jukkalan taking down the opposition with flair. She uses her bike in one scene and inflicts considerable devastation. She is something to see when she goes into combat mode. "This Girl is Badass" is an entertaining epic!
