Even though Tony Jaa has “retired” and become a Monk, that dosen’t mean that Thailand is done with making kick ass films.
Case in point, this trailer for Red Eagle. Directed by Wisit Sasanatieng, it’s a some what “remake” of a classic Thai film series from the 60’s. Twitch has the trailer and a neat synopsis of the film.
A nuclear power plant is about to be commissioned upon the signing of corrupt and power hungry politicians. The citizens are in frenzy, as they oppose this plan but they cannot do a thing about it. And so, a hero was born, chasing down the criminals and the corrupt, killing of whatever threatens the city’s well being. He leaves a card with his name simply as “THE RED EAGLE”. However, the hero becomes the hunted, when the politicians send out their best defense, known as “THE BLACK DEMON”.

Looks tasty! A nice take on the super hero mythos.
