@@Cdr2002 Not just planned. it was a whole radio show thing. It's pretty fuck. It came out a year or so prior to this, if I recall. Can't remember the name.
I lost it at "al-kinda". Glad I caught this as soon as it popped up in my feed. It distracted me from being sad for almost a whole hour, and that was some fine quality time. Thanks, Diamanda and Linka(ra)
Much as I like Linkara, that walk just seems like a less dignified version of what Brad Jones did in the Myra Breckenridge review with Hagan. Just saying.
It took some research, but the Mercury in the title is what the subtitlers called "Amulet". The Thai word is เหล็กไหล (Lek Lai, flowing metal), and they do supposedly eat honey and grow.
That explains the scene near the beginning where that monk "chopped" the flowing metal that became the amulet. Makes a lot more sense when you know that. Cheers for the info :D
Say mistress diamanda, perhaps you already know this. there is a malaysian superhero triology called cicakman. It translate to lizardman. I think the first one is made around the same time as the sam raimi spiderman movie. The director is the same director who did vikingdom. I dont know wether it will made a good material for your review. Nonetheless just a friendly heads up
4:12 "Semi-automatic. Play-dough." 10:12 Cool. 18:00 That's a Deep cut. =D 36:42 The Hell is with this guy's hair? 38:08 Kudos. 41:08 Dear Lord, I'm suddenly depressed! =D 42:44 Rider Knee Drop! I DO like a well done fire-based hero. I got story ideas now.
Dear Linkara and Diamanda Haggan thank u for reviewing this Thai superhero movie. Hope this movie will get a remake/reboot with better story and better villain.
@@DiamandaHagan And i'm glad ya are glad! I watch ya for a while! I'm just watchin' episodes that i missed (for one reason or another) and rewatchin' and commentin' on videos i didn't comment before 'cause i think it's good for the video and/or gettin' involved! Take care, Hagan! ✌️
God... I think that dude with the terrible "Welcome to your freedom" line is the one who played the big final guy from the fight club in Ong Bak. I'm sure white people roles aren't that common in Thai films but man... he came out much better in Ong Bak when he didn't talk.
Hey, if you're gonna shoot down a missile with WW2-era anti-aircraft weaponry, and could choose what background music is playing while you do, wouldn't you pick the Robo Cop theme song? Maybe it's just me.
Always nice to see you ruin Linkara's day. From watching your cross overs it seems like any reviewer that sees you in a con hotel hallway should run the other way. Still can't get over how short Brad Jones is in comparison to you. Oh god, it's psalty.
Kid with the powers napped? Well, a demons purview IS pun-ishment. Well done. Also on a geology nerd note, stalactites hang from the top, stalagmites grow from the bottom of caves. By heat, I think it's a translation error. What they mean is molecular motion, an extreme excess of which could fuel all those powers, in a comic book science way. Nope never mind, they mean literal heat. Must be a cultural thing Thanks for the T 1000 porn imagery linkara, I needed another robot to fantasize about. It can be any shape, that's limitless possibility. Talk about a fuck machine.
Wait... Linka RA? As in Ra the Egyptian sun god? My God, he's been warning us of the threat of ancient Egypt for years but it turns out he was the ancient Egyptian threat all along!
The Al Qaeda stuff reminded me of being in Thailand on Sept. 11, 2001. In the following weeks street vendors were selling T-shirts with Osama Bin Laden's face on them. It was in poor taste for sure but don't misunderstand it to mean they supported him, they didn't. I really, really wanted to buy a shirt as a bizarre souvenir to show off but was terrified of customs seeing the shirt when I went back home to the US.
31:22 Wait that's not the real dialogue from the movie. The real dialogue in that scene was deemed so stupid that it was lethal like every Adam Sandler project that didn't torment cinema-goers. Since I'm nice I'll have my servant summarize and type it out for you. "Honey is similar to Cthulhu's snot which is made from dragon farts, shredded sea anemones, the souls of NAMBLA members (that's a joke they don't have those), a tear of a person suffering while watching all of the Twilight movies, and one intelligent thought from The Vigilant Christian (just kidding again this one's impossible to find)." Note: I went through 23,910 servants having them type it out. I hope your happy now I have to find new servants.
Despite some of its flaws, I do like this movie. I got it on DVD because Nong Toom was in it, and I wasn't disappointed. She's the best character in the movie, and if they ever do a sequel, I'd want to see her get an amulet (maybe get the ice powers?)--you know, so she can get more screentime. The dub on this is ridiculous, though, and what cemented for me that I should always go for subtitles over the dub. Grace has two scenes where the dialogue refers to her being trans (her introduction and her fight with the "I'm going to castrate you" lady), and the dub removed these references (the aforementioned fight instead having Grace's opponent saying "I'm going to make you look pretty"). That kind of censorship is ridiculous to me. Plus, the dub actors are pretty bad, but I guess that's par for the course with any English spoken for the film.
Chan stop. 1: You’re not in the right group. Japan has at least two or three Rescue Teams worth your time. 2: You’re not Carter Grayson. Will comment more.
Alright. Not to sound nerdy as fuck but.......Diamanda did you just mistake stalactites for stalagmites during the credit scene for the movie? Stalactites cling tight to the ceiling while stalagmites might reach the ceiling. Sorry. Nerdgasm over. Lol. Hail Hagan.
@@DiamandaHagan Lol. Good luck with that Mistress. Again not trying to make you look bad or anything at all. Just thought that the mix up was kind of funny. :)
