He got himself into jail And being the European foreigner in foreign jail especially Thailand where it is said to be one of the worst prisons I guess that's gritty in itself
This movie transports you to a whole other world - one that is visceral, surreal, tribal, and profane. It's manifestation of the ability of the human spirit to find strength, beauty, warmth, and humanity in the bleakest of circumstances also makes it sacred. Don't miss this great work of art.
@@jayd8246 I never said my comment was the best, I don't know why you insist on misinterpreting everything or you're just pretending to, that's why it seems so "unnatural" to you.
I'm very impressed by this movie. There isn't allot of dialog going on but still manages to tell a great story. The scenes are very immersive and create a strong connection with the main character. Not the easiest film to watch, but it's good to see there are still movies being made portraying a realistic view of darkness and brutality that's still going on in this world.
Yo, I'm Thai, And I just finish watching this movie and it amaze me by how realistic and brutal this film was. Here some details I'd like to provide to all foreigner friends so you can understand the dark vibe in this Thai prison and get into this piece of art better. btw I've never been in prison and I love to keep it that way. All the details I provided is known by most Thais and be thought to you to remind you that you should keep off that kinda place. 1. The Tattoos : Most of prisoners in the film covered their bodies with Tattoos which is Handmaded in Prison. It's difference from an artist's work you could get at Khaosan rd. You could easily tell If you're Thai that which ones is prison Tatts. It's been made by a ball pen ink. Poke under the skin by any sharp metal you could find in prison. Which, in the morning If the warden spot the difference in your body, you'll get beat up so bad. And that's represent how tough you are. Basically, guy who cover himself with full-body Tatts is proved. That you fear nothing and you've been in and out of prison for many times. You could see that poor guy who's been raped at the beginning has no tattoo on him. So the rapist could tell easily that he's a newbie here and got no friends to help him. Makes him vulnerable, and was picked as an easy target to be raped or abuse. 2. Cigarettes : As you can see that the cig is a currency used for trading in prison. So, it makes Billy's situation much more tough as he's got no family to provide such thing or bribe the warden to transfer any sig for you. 3. Yaba : Yaba is basically a Metamphetamine manufactured in form of pills which is one of the cheapest drugs you could find in Thailand. Sold in unit of "Taew" (line). And it's break down in half to be consumed called "Kha" (Leg). It's popular among truck drivers. As they have to drive long distance in the night, so it helps them to stay awake all the night. 4. Housekeeper : The dude who's interviewed Billy at the start of the film is called "Por Bahn" (Housekeeper). He's a kind of criminal who's been in and out of prison so many times, so he raised into the rank or being respect by other prisoners. Por bahn is necessary for a warden too. As he can help organized these criminals into order. In real prison there's more than one housekeeper and they've got a mutual power and separated their men to control. Or even individuals to be raped... 5. Picking fight : A tall teen new prisoner who's picking an unnecessary fight at the start of the movie isn't nonsense at all. He said in Thai "I maybe a new here. But I'm seasoned from another place. You can try me". He just wanna show others that he's familiar with these kinds of things. Prison things. If you don't act tough, you'll be listed as the one that can be bullied. Or even raped. It's fight or die situation. Props to the actor his acting is really spot on as you can see in his eyes that he actually feels insecure but need to act tough to show that he's not bullyable. (I quite sure he might be faced a real sentence before doing this role, So realistic) 6. Clothesline : As you see in the film that bad things always happened at the washing area or a clothesline. This is not even for a cinematography purpose. It's a superb realistic detail and prove how goooddddd this film is. On the weekday that they clean their blanket, they'll have to hang it on a shared washing line. Which, when they spread the blanket wide. It provides a perfect cover that block warden's line of sight. So, this is on purpose. It's a dead space that prisoners can do shady things. Trade drugs, beat someone up or even having sex. Super well researched. 7. The Coach : The coach in this film is actually a boxer. And not ordinary boxer. His name is Somrak Kamsing, and he is first Thai boxer to won Olympic gold medal. And most of the fellow trainees are actually prison boxer If I'm not remembering it wrong. This film is so dark It's really hard to watch, yet it's really accurate and showing a spirit in the darkest place that you shouldn't be visit even once. Thanks to the research team and thanks that the production is foreigners. If it's been made by Thai I'm pretty sure that it will be cut off or banned by Thai's baby nonsense censorship authority as they just wanna show the world only bright side of this country. And for the one who haven't been to Thailand yet, one of the most accurate things about this film is, how friendly and nice Thai people are. even amongst these notorious group of people. You'll always find a spirit of respect and humility. We carry each other through this chaos of our country. And you'll always be welcome no matter what races you're from. Or what gender. PS. Joe Cole. Man, you're so good in this role and I don't understand why you've been overlooked as an actor. Hope you like Thailand and please come visit Thailand again as a tourist. love you man.
I see some of the prisoners have tattoos resembling Irezumi, the ones Japanese Yakuza have. It is just a coincidence that it resembles that or it is actually copied from the Japanese Irezumi?
@@bardgold4553 It’s a copy. These tattoos got reference from Japanese tattoo, Old school tattoo Or Chinese dragons tattoo. Thai’s real traditional tattoo will look just like a typo. Its kinda like a holy talisman protect the bearer. If you wonder what it looks like try searching Angelina Jolie’s back tattoo. That’s real ancient Thai tattoo.
As someone who is today, this very moment dealing with their own demons, overcoming fears and breaking through, this trailer hit at the very core of my being. It rendered me in flood of tears. We are all reflections of one another. And, life covers the entire spectrum of most profound beauty, pleasure and also deep neverending well of suffering with a glimmer of hope, of salvation - a flickering candle shining even brighter on the face of the Buddha - a unversal symbol for freedom from suffering....
The Thai music hits my emotional core. I’ll play this trailer in the background of my shadowboxing - it feels as though it acts as a portal to accessing a more primal aspect of being.
This movie was amazing, one of my personal favorites of last year and yet I didn't hear ANYBODY talking about it. It wasn't in any of the "best of the year" list of any major film site and it's a damn shame. Kudos to the whole crew for making such an intense piece and mainly to Joe Cole for giving the acting of a life time.
Billy still out there, talking to the youths! Making an impact every day! Have you ever watched him talk to teenagers, there’s just something about him that they feel comfortable and open up! Good man!
Lived right there in Thailand, in the town this movie started in for over a year. The detail and cultural adaptations are spot on. Should have been nominated for best picture, or at least for best independent or foreign film. You really can’t gauge how well done this was unless you’ve spent enough actual time in Thailand though, and critics are usually arrogant, cynical pricks with very little perspective. So, I’m not surprised, but do WATCH IT. It’s fantastic!!
I haven't seen this film but I have seen Billy Moore UA-cam videos. Billy is a legend and he has gladly turned his life around for the better and his UA-cam videos bring so much hope and humanity for other people 🏆
@@ethanmiller3330 Totally, but people act like that's his fault and it's bullshit. He's just working on his craft and he has management putting him where he needs to be, like any other performer
This film is really good, had my heart beating fast the entire time. Very strong and not an easy watch but the fight to survive was really felt in this film. Great acting also.
Man, Thai culture was well adapted in this movie. But, by god, what a mess the fight choreography was. The main character doesn't know how to throw a punch. The camera is also very close, I think to mask the poverty of the fight choreography.
Just finished it and one of the best I've seen in awhile! Thought it was going to be "another typical boxing movie" but it turned out to be way more than that! If anything the trailer makes it seem like that. I don't want to give away anything so you'll just have to check it out yourself. Highly recommend!
This is one of the best movies I've seen. 10/10. There are some disturbing scenes though, not everyone has the stomach for it. The fact that this is based on real life makes it even more crazy
Nishant Dhanawade It’s on Amazon Prime now, or you can find it at BFlix. This film is extremely detailed and spot on with its cultural reenactments. I lived there where the movie started. It’s liken to the wild Wild West, yet astoundingly beautiful at the same time. The people are very traditional about their ethical fundamentals, and they will fight like all hell to preserve what they believe in. Other than that, they are unbelievably hospitable, kind, and grateful in general, unless they work at 7/11 or in a gogo bar...
I am just impressed by amount of physical training this actor must have gone to to achieve that body. And the fighting techniques look extremely real, even dangerous if person not properly conditioned.
The advertisement does not describe the movie .. I advise you to watch it. It is really a legend .. I don’t understand why they don’t support those films like this. They’re really cool and the actor Joe Cole was very cool.
From erratic love seeker in Black Mirror to bloody fighter in this movie? I’m really proud of Joe Cole! Black Mirror indeed makes unenlightened stars shine!
This trailer dosnt do the film justice.....and the trailers great. It's much more than some "white guy muay Thai hero film" - it's about the struggle between addiction and improving as a person. Really good film, best I've seen in ages. Seen the podcast on here about the guy this is based on and that made it even better. Enjoy.
I'm an expat living in Thailand and love to watch English-speaking movies set here. I haven't watched this film yet, it looks good! Thai prison is no joke. Do not break the law in SE Asia!
Shameless plug James but your Poddies are the best on the Net. Greetings from Australia, you are doing a brilliant job bruv, but you know that already.
Based on the true story of Liverpudlian Billy Moore , he was also a stunt double for sly Stallone in one of the Rambo films , his story is amazing to read
Great work of director and Joe Cole and all team of this film! The director could convey the character of the hero, beautiful body of Joe :-), his talent and a brutal story.
I'm Thai and wasn't interested in this movie at first, but after my favorite character John died. I totally changed my mind and will give this movie a ahot for sure.
The film looks good. Director is def. Talented. This is based on the thai prison fighters who get a second chance in life if they win the tournament. I did see this documentary about this British dude who actually won & was pardon I guess it's based on him. I also saw a doc. On a Thai fighter who gained his freedom this way. So although it looks like a white savior type of film it really is not, is based on this dude who was a total mess & the Thai lesson fighting system gave him a chance. So in a way it should portray hoe the prison fighting challenge in Thai land works. It's not pretty but is real. Hope it gives it justice.
ABBAS ALI UJJAINWALLA shit said based on true story though. I'm all for diversity and I argue down anyone who pretends t hst shit don't get whitewashed. But sometimes, you just gotta know the difference. If you're just AUTOMATICALLY going into "b.s. white washed" attitude, then you're as ignorant as the people who can't see the white wash in the first place.
Kush Kunte Ummm... "Prison Fighters" is the documentary about a Thai prisoner redeeming himself through fighting & winning his freedom & royal pardon. It's on Showtime. The one about the British dude I can't remember his name, & it wasn't a documentary more a of a 20 minute news piece on him. Sort of like the ones u see on Dateline and 20/20. But I was googling online right now for u & I can't find it. I saw it on BBC or Sky 1 when I was in London 2 yrs ago. I emailed my friend who still lives in the UK to see if he remembers OK. So if he does I'll definitely let u know. Hope that helps for now friend.
A was in jail with billy whem i was 18 an when I was 25 I was in jail with his bro kev. Hopefully he gets good royalties of this film an lives a long life.
This portrays the gritty side of Thailand so well and also the kindness of Thai people. I lived in Thailand for 15 years. This is very realistic.
The dark side is completely hidden to tourists and even expats

The Blood Sport remake I've been waiting for... but seriously this film looks lit.
Arthur shelby be like:
Whut the fook is going on Johnny.

THIS LOOKS FANTASTIC!
Anyone here from true Geordie podcast?
niamh x I am True Geordie is one of my Favourite UA-cam Channels
niamh x yup😂

Yes!
😂
Based on the true story of Liverpudlian Billy Moore , he was also a stunt double for sly Stallone in one of the Rambo films , his story is amazing to read
It's kinda sad he gets arrested now and again tho. He appears in the film too!
This movie is so underrated, saw it years ago and has stayed on my mind ever since. Far more memorable than any of the Rocky or Creed movies IMO
All I needed was 20 seconds of this to watch: here I go!
Great work of director and Joe Cole and all team of this film! The director could convey the character of the hero, beautiful body of Joe :-), his talent and a brutal story.
I'm Thai and wasn't interested in this movie at first, but after my favorite character John died. I totally changed my mind and will give this movie a ahot for sure.
This movie is hella crazy, best movie i seen so far, highly recommend it
im gonna watch it just because i see the legendary somluck kamsing
The trailer doesn't do the film justice, its much more than just another boxing film. Really enjoyed it.
Joe Cole is a great actor.
Looks really good, a boxing film I finally looking forward in seeing.
Raffy Rillo it’s Muay Thai
Muay Boran
Paul Mahon still boxing but asian
I'm out after that
metacylinder it’s not even close to boxing
The film looks good. Director is def. Talented. This is based on the thai prison fighters who get a second chance in life if they win the tournament. I did see this documentary about this British dude who actually won & was pardon I guess it's based on him. I also saw a doc. On a Thai fighter who gained his freedom this way. So although it looks like a white savior type of film it really is not, is based on this dude who was a total mess & the Thai lesson fighting system gave him a chance. So in a way it should portray hoe the prison fighting challenge in Thai land works. It's not pretty but is real. Hope it gives it justice.
EJ Nunez True, even none inmate fighters from abroad come to Thailand to fight with the inmates.
Nice thanks for the explanation or else i was thinking another white lead story in a foreign land
ABBAS ALI UJJAINWALLA shit said based on true story though. I'm all for diversity and I argue down anyone who pretends t hst shit don't get whitewashed. But sometimes, you just gotta know the difference. If you're just AUTOMATICALLY going into "b.s. white washed" attitude, then you're as ignorant as the people who can't see the white wash in the first place.
Yeah I recognize some of those extras, they're real prisoners who were in the documentary too.
Kush Kunte Ummm... "Prison Fighters" is the documentary about a Thai prisoner redeeming himself through fighting & winning his freedom & royal pardon. It's on Showtime. The one about the British dude I can't remember his name, & it wasn't a documentary more a of a 20 minute news piece on him. Sort of like the ones u see on Dateline and 20/20. But I was googling online right now for u & I can't find it. I saw it on BBC or Sky 1 when I was in London 2 yrs ago. I emailed my friend who still lives in the UK to see if he remembers OK. So if he does I'll definitely let u know. Hope that helps for now friend.
Fcuking INTENSE and TERRIFYING experience to go through and live to tell!
Film of the year hands down.
Now we're talkin... Im ready to watch this.
Dope ass movie. Worth every second to watch
Damn some of those extras are real prisoners there, go watch the documentary about Thai prison boxing and you'll see them there.
As a Thai I would say 95%from there and was there b4😂
There is literally two professional actors in this movie, the officer and joe cole.
I loved the main actor in Peaky Blinders. I'm sure he'll be just as great here!
Aye same! Good to see people who know the actor
Violence is never the answer. Violence is the question, and the answer is yes.
