Special Program [Thai Cinema Kaleidoscope 2025]
Muay Thai Hustle
日本初上映 Japan Premiere
San is a boxing chump whose only support is his loudmouth coach, Krasu, and his imaginary friend, a panda who appears whenever he needs encouragement (really, it’s just a guy in a suit). Seeking redemption, San follows a famous fortune-telling monk’s advice and goes in search of a turtle. What he finds is the Boxer Trio Gym and three formerly famous boxing champs with various disabilities. He also finds Moomoo, a woman who loves him. Anyway, with this motley bunch (who are also a band) he begins training again and he has to win because his old boxing rival, Tawansong, wants to take the gym and Moomoo.
This all sounds totally random but writer/director Ping LUMPRAPLOENG is operating on a gag-a-minute and throwing comedic curveballs with every sight and sound he can muster as he delivers a farcical sports comedy with cracked characters. The end result is a feel-good movie where something is sure to garner a laugh, whether its body parts falling off, Metal Gear Solid sound effects, manic music, literal toilet humour (involving flatulence and geckos), or Hollywood cameos.
