short-time Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 Don?t think I saw anyone mention the 30 year old James Bond flick - ?The Man with the Golden Gun?. Among other things, It includes the dumb longtail chase scene on the klongs, but I always liked the car chase, some of which looks to me like it was filmed around Grand Palace and Wat Pho. If for no other reason I always liked this one as it featured two of the best looking Bond girls ever (Maud & Britt). Also, I seem to recall from somewhere that Roger Moore made an evening visit to Patpong during the filming? wonder if he got laid? Guess this movie kind of put Phuket and James Bond Island on the tourist map? too bad!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayjann Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 'the man with the golden gun'?,how i hate this film. everytime i go to Phuket i like to take the trip to Phang Nga and James Bond Island. i like to take a girl out for the day and try and give her a nice time,after all many of them never do anything but sleep and fuck. but the downside is that o every trip i have done the video is played on the coach,so so boring now. but i do like the cameo of the little boy trying to sell his souvenirs.

dreamer Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 Does anyone enjoy watching Thai movies? I enjoy watching them in spite of understanding little Thai language. I tend to pick action adventures and get the girlfriend to translate anything I cannot pick up from the body language of the actors. The films are often funny and include great shots of the country / city side. As in all films there is usually a pretty girl tucked away somewhere too. The films i've seen increasingly include english subtitling. The last film I saw was the "Naga Fireball Film set in Nong Khai" This was a good laugh and taught me something about the pressures of modern life on old traditions. A couple of others I can remember seeing include: Suriothai (will this be released outside Thailand?) Nae Nak Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunsanuk Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 Hi, Saw it in the theater, and I quite liked it. Have seen it on DVD here, but do not know if it has subtitles. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straycat Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 Hi! Yes, Suriyothai is available on both VCD and DVD w/ English subtitles (in SE Asia). It will be realeased in the West under the name of "The Legend of Suriyothai". A date for release that I've seen mentioned is June 20, 2003. I believe the movie is being cut and "westernized" by Francis Ford Coppola in cooperation with the original director, Prince Chatrichalerm Yukol. IMHO, the movie needs it. It's a grand movie but a wee bit too long and zzzzzzzz..... From Google: The Legend of Suriothai - Search Results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayjann Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 thanks to you and KS but would prefer to see the original,but suppose the 'westernised' version is better than not seeing it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamer Posted May 16, 2003 Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 My copy of Suriothai came from a thai website, "pinklemon.com" and did include english subtitles. Arrived safely in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
