BKO: BANGKOK KNOCKOUT

I started watching this at predawn today, Monday, April 15th, 2024, in bed 🛏️ via my cellphone's 🤳 TUBI Streaming App.

Scene Commentaries:

This movie is from the same production team who brought us ONG BAK, THE WARRIOR. Yeah, don't mess with Ong Bak ( whose daddy is Jackie Chan ) 'cause he has lots of relatives that are as highly skilled as he is or even better than he is ❗😬❗And stay away from the beautiful girlfriend named Joy unless you have a DEATH WISH, 'cause you'll be signing for your own death certificate ❗💀❗

Man, I thought that I was just gonna lay back and popcorn 🍿👌😋👍🥤the entirety of this action movie. But a Western bad guy dude, who's an extremely rude jerk, had to ruin it for me and forced me to start writing down notes! 📝 😠👎

I thought that she didn't know how to speak a word of English. But she sure understood what it meant when her boss yelled, "Get out!" See, girl you DO know English. 😉 Now, be a nice employee and go tell the rude Western bad guy what your boss just said to you; before you forget the 2 easy, one-syllable words.  😏

Elton John, Bangkok mini edition! 😂

Hunger Games, Thai style!

Bangkok she-boy versus Cockbang he-man! 😁

The caged "monkey fight" is good! 👍

Since you know that the enemy only has bad intentions, don't hold back, don't hesitate and don't show mercy! The 3 Don'ts Of Combat Fighting.  🧐

The armored bad guy was literally giving him any choice of a target. But he goes and aims for the armor-plated belly when either shin was unprotected!  🤦‍♂️

Speaking of shin, the Chinese Kung Fu guy ( named Shin? 🤔 ) got whacked in both shins and shouldn't have been able to continue on fighting. If he was a Muay Thai boxer, maybe he could've taken such a hit.

And I was just about to ask what happened to motorcycle guy.  😕

Money talks 💵, nationality walks.🚶‍♂️'Probably learned it from Dangerous DOTARD brandon ....   🤨

I had the feeling that he was kicking the door the wrong way!  😏

Remember, he tried to kill you. Friends don't kill friends. He ain't your friend.

If you're wondering why they don't kiss, it boils down to just 2 words: Morning Breath.  🤭

Two other words: Improvise Weapons ( After all, your uncle is Jackie ).

He can see a portrait picture clearly from that great of a distance. Yeah, right ....  😒

Now, they're throwing stuff around at each other! 🤦‍♂️ I told them to improvise a while ago! They really, literally had to have Common Sense beat into their noggins.  🙄

Demolition Derby, human edition!  😁 That death-proof car was armor plated all around but had no roll cage whatsoever ❗ 🤦‍♂️❗🤷‍♂️❗

I was just waiting for that Inhaler!  🤣 🤣 🤣

When the martial artist is also a professional baseball ⚾ pitcher.  😏

I really liked the Off-Road Bikes fight scene and the Climactic fight scene under the moving Tractor Trailer.  👌

There's a Bonus Scene during the Ending Credits--Bollywood style.

Tidbits:

After eating at Selecta Pilipino Buffet Restaurant, I had to sit and wait for Rey to come back. He asked me to watch the restaurant for him as he went next door to the 99-Cents Only Store to shop for bargain deals. I wanted to go for seconds, but I was Filled To The Max already. ☹️

When Rey returned, it was my turn to shop at the 99-Cents Only Store. I shopped for food. And a pair of light grey canvas shoes to fully complete my 👉👉Gender Appropriate👈 color choices, now that the price went down 20 cents cheaper. The store has less than half left in their sales floor items. But I might go back and buy 2 more pairs of the canvas shoes. And they still have plenty of health bars and protein powder supplements, too. But all of the candies & junk food are practically gone!  🙄 There is no accounting for people's Dietary Priorities.  😒

When I got home and before stepping into my unit, I decided to go and walk🚶 around the Sutter Solano Medical Cancer Center to cover 9,287 steps for a total of 3.8 miles ( 6.1 km ), for a time of 1 hour & 24 minutes.

Then, I checked on my Egg Experiment, Part 2. Yes, vinegar's Acetic Acid is way better than Coca-Cola at dissolving Egg 🥚 Shells. The 2 eggs in the vinegar container expanded. Which meant that their shells have dissolved. The vinegar bath was foamy and the shells had tiny bubbles all over them before I left earlier to go have lunch.

I transferred them to a pot to boil for 15 minutes along with a pair of raw brown eggs. Once they were cooled to room temperature, I transferred the hard-boiled brown eggs to the vinegar bath. We'll see what happens after 24 hours has elapsed.  🕛

I ate the eggs with the dissolved shells for supper. They were soggy and the flavor was off a bit due to their sogginess. But the Egg Membrane kept each egg from breaking apart, though. The membrane became an opaque white and had the texture of a burst toy balloon but without the stretchability.

SNITCH, PG-13 ( 1 hr & 35 min )

-

I went to see this on Thursday, February 21st, 2013, here in Vallejo, CA, at the CENTURY 14 VALLEJO for the 10:00 p.m. advanced screening in auditorium 2, 6th row ( counting from the front ), 6th column ( counting from the left ). The price of admission was $10.50. And I bought $1.53 worth of bulk Chocolate Candies to go with my purchase of a $4.50 1-litre Dasani Water. Originally, I was just gonna buy some bottled water because I smuggled-in a bag of cookies that I had earlier bought at a dollar store. But, for some stupid reason, I decided to get some bulk candies! Either my conscience is getting the better of me or the theatre lobby's piped-in music has a subliminal command to get patrons to buy more stuff at the concessions counter ( yup, that has got to be it )!

Quickie Review: A loving father will do just about anything to help his son get out of federal prison. Based on a true story.

There were about a dozen people in the auditorium with me for this advanced screening. And they were in rapt attention throughout the movie. Obviously, they were all caught-up in the action as the story unfolded before their very eyes. As was I.

I would say that it is a good movie with the right amount of human drama. Go see this Action/Suspense Movie.

Here are the things that I found wrong in this movie: The shipping label on the package came-off too easily. Real shipping labels don't come-off that easily. In the shoot-out in the junkyard, the cops were called to the scene and were on their way b...u...t... a later scene showed the dead bad guys being buried in a mass grave! There were no bullet holes in the tractor-trailer---What did the rival drug gang use, BB guns? "When you work for us, you'll be treated like family"--the family member that gets abused a lot!!! Ha, ha, ha. I felt sorry for the bad guy(s) who had to count all of those dollar bills, all 83 million of them! I would have loved it had they shown pictures of the real drug lord, his family and his gang in the Ending Credits.

********************************************

It was around 12:30 a.m. of the following day when I got home from the theatre. And I learned that one of the supervisors at work had left a voice-mail on my cellphone asking me to come in and work on my day-off. I had turned-off my cellphone when I was in the theatre earlier in the day to see SAFE HAVEN, and I forgot to turn it back on!
