Jone (Dan Chupong) wants to avenge the murder of his parents, yet he
doesn't know who killed his parents, the only thing he does know is that
the killer had a certain tattoo on his chest and was a rustler. So Jone,
armed with missiles on which he at times tends to surf, attacks all
rustlers driving their cattle to Bangkok in hopes of finding the killer,
and thanks to his missiles and his superior martial arts skills, he
usually manages to defeat the rustlers and makes quite a name of himself
bedcause of always returning the cattle to its rightful owners, poor
villagers.
At the same time, Lord Waeng (Leo Putt) wants to start a tractor
business in Bangkok, but this being 1855, tractors are still enormously
expensive and cattle a cheap workforce - so he figures he has to hire a
gang of thugs to hold up the cattle trecks and this way make sure the
people of Bangkok will look for an alternative - tractors (cattle are
mainly used in rice farming by the way, not as food).
Eventually, Waeng's thugs and Jone both run into rustler Sing (Samart
Payakarun), and for the first time, not even Jone is able to defeat him -
basically because Sing has magic powers and is impervious to bullets - but
Sing has a certain tattoo across his chest ...
Lord Waeng soon figures the only man who could be
able to defeat Sing is Jone, and since they have the same goal anyways,
they soon hook up and ask the Black Wizard (Panna Rittikrai) who has once
been disfigured by Sing for help. the Black Wizard agrees to help them and
makes a potion for Jone to defeat Sing, a potion that also includes the
menstrual blood of the Wizard's foster daughter Sao (Kanyapak Suworakood)
- whom Jone soon falls in love with.
And wouldn't you know it, the potion works, and after a
long fight, Jone manages to defeat and almost kill Sing - when he learns
that it wasn't him but the Black Wizard - who has the same tattoo across
his chest - who killed his parents, and that Waeng only used Jone out of
economic considertions ...
Jone manages to make a getaway with Sing and now tries
everything to save his life - which would include Sao asking Sing for
forgiveness, but for that she would still ahve to be a virgin ... and the
Black Wizard and Lord Waeng are already fighting over who is to deflower
her.
Jone saves Sao - and more importantly her innocence - just
in time to in turn save Sing's life, but then Jone has to face the Black
Wizard on his own, and after he defeats him, he has to face him again,
because he has transplanted his soul into Waeng's body.
But am I giving too much away if I'm saying that Jone
emerges victorious in the end ?
Quite simply put, Dynamite Warrior is great fun !
Basically, the film is an old fashioned adventure/martial
arts story paired with some state-of-the-art action. Of course, the story
is silly as hell, but it seems that everybody in the film is totally aware
of that but they play it straight anyway and this way make it way more
amusing than the film would be as an all-out parody. And then there are
those great setpieces ! It seems that every fight scene is even more
over-the-top and even funnier than the last, and all of them are
wonderfully staged ... quite simply put brilliant.
Now admittedly the film might not be high art, but instead
it's nothing more than great entertainment, and it's definitely
recommended - at least to those who are still in touch with their inner
child.
