The new action comedy Bangkok Adrenaline is slated for release later this year and looks to be a real winner with a number of fine actors and filmmakers getting together to make this original independent film. With a relatively tight budget and many first time film makers working together on this action comedy set in Bangkok it could be the sleeper low budget hit of the year. Early reports from the set of the film indicate the action scenes are of incredible quality and choreographed by some very experienced martial artists like Ron Smorrenberg of Holland who has previously worked with Jackie Chan in Hong Kong.

Seven foot Manthing actor, the giant from down under Conan Stevens makes an appearance in Bangkok Adrenaline in a comedic role which is a turn around for him since at seven feet tall and over 300 pounds of muscle, the giant normally plays the villain or the character who usually cracks bones instead of cracking jokes. Bangkok Adrenaline is just another of the many films Conan Stevens has worked on since arriving in Asia almost 2 years ago.

Bangkok Adrenaline is predominately an action movie with that classic Asian twist of comic relief mixed within dramatic action scenes. There are no obvious special effects in this independent film since all the stunt work in Bangkok Adrenaline is performed by top rate martial artists and stunt men from all over the world. What you see is what you get, there are no hidden wires and no CGI, this is a hardcore Asian action movie and the news from the set is that some of the stunt men only just avoided a number of serious injuries while making the film and this will be evident in the quality of the action scenes when the movie is released in cinemas later this year.

Bangkok Adrenaline is just another of the many fine Asian action films to be filmed entirely in Thailand with a cast of both Thai and international actors that will be released in 2007. Bangkok Adrenaline is one action movie I am very much looking forward to seeing once it hits the big screen in around November this year.
