This trailer comes from Sahamongkolfilm, the people who brought us Chocolate, Ong Bak, and Raging Phoenix, so you know it’s going to be awesome. It’s called Power Kids, and it’s about a group of young muy thai experts who have to defend a hospital from terrorists in order to save their friend getting a heart transplant.  I want to marry that synopsis.  It also features poorly translated subtitles, my favorite.  Here are some of them:

Tony Jaa become an action star as a grown man. Jija Yanin become well known in her teens.  Now the world of martial arts…  Will engrave their names… At a very young age.   It’s time… for every heart… to unite… to fight the explosive battles with no regard for size.

So… which one of you ladies wants to fight an explosive battle with no regard for size?  (*points to crotch*) (*prematurely ejaculates*) (*cries*)

A Thai fireman recently dressed as Spider-Man to coax an autistic child down from a ledge.  Which is really going above and beyond the call compared to our lazy American firemen who just sit around playing cards all day. Wait, what?  I meant that they’re heroes. Courageous heroes of freedom.

Teachers at a special needs school in Bangkok alerted authorities on Monday when an autistic pupil, scared of attending his first day at school, sat out on the third-floor ledge and refused to come inside.

Despite teachers’ efforts to beckon the boy inside, he refused to budge until his mother mentioned her son’s love of superheroes, prompting fireman Sonchai Yoosabai to take a novel approach to the problem.

The rescuer dashed back to his fire station and made a quick change into a Spider-Man costume before returning to the boy, he said.

“I told him Spider-Man is here to rescue you, no monsters are going to attack you and I told him to walk slowly towards me as running could be dangerous,” Somchai told local television.

The young boy immediately stood up and walked into his rescuer’s arms, police said. [AP]

Superhero costumes, eh? I may just have to trade in this candy-filled van. Plus, my dick looks really good in spandex.

This is the trailer for the Thai basketball movie Fireball.  Now, don’t just sit there wondering whether someone gets kneed in the face, it’s a Thai basketball movie, of course someone gets kneed in the face.  Word on the street is that the trouble started when one basketball team stole a baby elephant the other team had sworn to protect.

Also be sure to listen for the Thai Linkin Park which fades in at about the two minute mark.
