JeeJa Yanin + B-Boys + Muay Thai = Raging Phoenix Trailers
Asian Movie News, Raging Phoenix (2009) Movie, Videos — By Nix on July 17, 2009
Muay Thai, B-Boy breakdancing, and little ol Jeeja Yanin, the star of “Chocolate”, kicking enough ass to make Tony Jaa blush? Yup, that’s the latest sure-to-be-all-the-rage action movie from Thailand, which stars “Chocolate” wunderkind JeeJa Yanin, here trading in her autism for a little break-dancing and stylish fighting, but with the same back-breaking, stuntman-injuring insanity. Rashane Limtrakul directs. Check out a teaser trailer and a full trailer, plus some posters for the movie below. Both trailers are in Thai, alas, not that it matters. It’s a Thai action movie, after all; even if you were to understand the language, it still wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense anyhow.
The film is due out in Thai theaters August 12 2009.
Thanks to reader Jonesy for the heads up.

OK I saw the chocolate trailer and went out and bought it, this I’m doing the same with. This Looks sick.
poster 1 and 4 looks SICK!
WOW!!!! this is a real martial arts movie, the THAI films are getting better and better hopefully martialartsonbluray.blogspot.com will review this movie too!
Looks like it has the same boring and deliberate choreography that Chocolate had, only with more flair. Not interested.
Chocolate was great and I have a strong feeling this will be amazing. When do you think it would be available to be purchased on dvd even if it is from overseas.
I have done Capoeira for many years and this movie is something of greatness. I’m glad they came up with drunken Muay Thai. I guess you can’t understand the choreography if you ain’t a martial artist yourself. Raging Phoenix is by far one of the best fighting movies out there. Long fights, not like the 3 second fights in the generic action films. Not to mention the perfectly laid out story line, the movie kept me glued to the screen every second of the film. I think i’ve watched it about ten times this week. 10/10 I would rate this.
WOW!! THE BEST MUAY THAI MOVE I’VE WATCHED SO FAR… CHOCOLATE WAS ALRIGHT.. I LOVE TO BBOY SO SEEIN THIS MOVIE MAKES ME MOTIVATED TO TRY SOME MOVES THAT THEY DO IN IT… N JEEJA YANIN IS FREAKIN CUUUTTEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I liked Chocolate and I liked this movie too. Jeeja is amazing in both. I’m just hoping she gets paired with a competent director in her next one.
