Dynamite Warrior

Aroview: As if to accommodate an escalating reputation for martial arts outrageousness, Thailand’s stunt extraordinaires risk life and limb in their most absurdly drawn action spectacle yet: a turn-of-the-century revenge picture whose hero is a rocket surfing bandit!

Although determined to augment the Thai blockbuster with more wirework, more special effects, and bigger and badder fight sequences, this distinguishes itself as a Midnight Movie in the making: an insanely plotted, consistently hilarious romp through such diversions as incest, cannibalism, monkey-men, and virgin menstrual blood. Needless to say, the film's entertaining arbitrariness elevates it beyond mere martial arts categorisation, and into the stratosphere of cult, camp classics.
