New York Premiere
This exploitation stunt-tacular features some of the best stuntmen and women unleashing muay thai, capoeira, dirt bike fu, shovel beatdowns, fights on fire, fights in the water, fights under trucks, fights in mid-air, and two back-to-back climactic smackdowns in the service of a story of a group of aspiring stuntmen who can’t wait to go Hollywood. Unfortunately, the world has other plans. Plans like drugging them, dropping them into a warehouse populated by psychotic murderers, and betting on the outcome of the ensuing life-or-death struggle for fun. The cast includes Chatchapol Kulsiriwoottichai, Sarawoot Kumsorn, Speedy Arnold and Sorapong Chatree.
