Greetings and Salutations. I know I’m going to take some serious heat on this one but this past week I saw the movie Bangkok Dangerous, and liked it. Now, I know some of you just jumped out of your seats shocked at the very thought of somebody liking this movie, and I’m sure for some of you it was just milliseconds after reading “and liked it” where your brain started processing the witty and perhaps insulting Comments to barrage this Post with. Well, just hold off the finger assault on your keyboard for a second while I try to explain.
I noticed in this Post earlier this week there were some pretty negative comments from bloggers about the movie. I was shocked. After all, I just saw the movie and loved it…or did I?
[Editor's Note: Normally I would dismiss finding the answer to this question as it's trivial and some would think a complete waste of time but I needed some material for the Weekly Editorial so here we are.]
The first step to answering life’s questions these days begins by typing “www.google.com” and pressing Enter. In this case I typed “bangkok dangerous review” and hit Enter again. Okay, let’s see what’s out there.
I ignore the top result just out of spite and instead click on the second hit, a review from a site named ign.com:
“This action remake is more tedious than dangerous.”
- Jim Vejvoda at ign.com
Hmm, seems like it’s going to be more of what the bloggers were saying. Next Google hit,
“You know how the beginning of Tropic Thunder starts? With the parody trailers of the guys’ movies? Just take out Ben Stiller and Robert Downey, Jr., and put Nic Cage in there. That’s what I was thinking during Bangkok Dangerous. It’s a big parody of crime-thriller movies. “
- Jane Boursaw at www.filmgecko.com
Ouch. Okay, third hit,
“Cynics may be tempted to dismiss Bangkok Dangerous as money for old rope but the Hollywood firepower under its gleaming bonnet would make a Top Gear presenter shiver with pleasure.”
- James Christopher at TimesOnline
Woooo. A 3-star rating and some nice things to say about the movie although after reading the review it sounded like the guy really didn’t like it. Maybe he’s related to Cage or owes Coppola some money and this was the best he could do? Not sure but seems a little weird to come across a positive one after so many negative one’s.
The next Google hit, a link to the Rotten Tomatoes web site. First time visiting the site. Cool. I can now dump the Google methodology and more efficiently sift through the 74 reviews listed on the RT site:
Rotten Tomatoes 3.5/10 with 74 reviews, 7 Fresh Tomatoes, 67 Rotten Tomatoes
This site is actually pretty interesting in that the Reviews listed are gathered from professional sources from all over. As the stats indictated above, 67 of 74 reviews were Rotten with an overall 3.5 out of 10 rating. Pretty strong evidence that most people thought the movie sucked.
At this point I knew there was something wrong with me. How could I like it? The reviews were so negative and what they were saying made total sense. I decided to check out the positive reviews to see why other’s liked it but it was too late. After reading all the negative reviews I was now convinced that the movie really did suck. I mean, I should have known something was wrong when the Thai girl I saw the movie with didn’t understand any of the Thai Nicolas Cage uttered out. C’mon, how hard is it to say: “Kong, yuu thee nai”? The positive reviewers sound pretty stupid now and I’m pretty embarrassed that I shared their opinion at one time.
Okay, getting past the embarrasment I still didn’t know why I loved it so much right after seeing it? I decided to trace my footsteps that day for clues.
It was Tuesday morning and I had a pleasant experience the night before. Pleasant experience [Editor's Note: We will refer to her from now on as PE, which has nothing at all to do with Pants Elk] was still asleep as I got up to check how life online was. Something I do for the durianseed.com beta site is to maintain a Movie Guide to determine what’s required to do such a guide for a given city. One of the perks is seeing new movies at different theaters. Bangkok Dangerous just came out and I hadn’t seen a movie in weeks, and I had some free time so I woke up PE, lent here some daytime clothes from my “overnight guests lost-and-found” bin and we were off to the movies.
I’ve been curious to see Bangkok Dangerous since they finished filming here in Bangkok over a year ago. It was particularly interesting for me because I accidentally ran into the filming of the opening scene done at the Witches Tavern Bar on Thong Lo and wanted to see how it came out. Funny enough, the opening scene of the movie, which is in Prague, was the scene I saw shot in Witches Tavern, which explains now why the background actors were not Thai and were instead all Eastern European looking. I also heard there were many familiar Bangkok street shots that would be interesting to see so I’ve been anticipating the release for a while.
This was also a good opportunity to check out a new theater. I saw online that there was VIP seating at the Major Cineplex Movie Theaters in the Esplanade Mall. I figured I would go large with some cushy couch seating.
This was my first time to the Esplanade Mall. What a strange little mall this is. Not many signs so you have to just walk around the whole mall to find out where everything is. We wandered into the Movie area on the second floor and were greeted by a lovely little movie hostess. She was the VIP seating promo girl and offered to expedite the process of procuring VIP seating tickets. I didn’t care what she was selling, I was buying it. I still have fond memories of her bravely enduring the complexities of the ticket vending machine to spare me the embarrassment of trying to do it myself. Marriage material for sure.
We now had two hours to kill so we decided to take the Esplanade Mall self-service tour. We passed by an ice skating rink which looked pretty cool and there’s a blu-O multimedia-friendly bowling alley but we decided instead to hit the Fuji Japanese Restaurant downstairs so we can get an order of Sake in before the daily 2:00pm-5:00pm ban of alcohol sales.
Tasty sushi and a nice buzz and it was back to the theaters. We hung out in the VIP lounge for a bit which was quite relaxing and then into the theater for the movie. The VIP seating was the bomb and so worth it. You can check out my review of the theather here.
As I mentioned above, I loved the movie after seeing it. There were some great action sequences and a cool ending, it was fun seeing Bangkok scenes in a big budget Hollywood flick, the electronically controlled fat ass recliners were off the hook, the blankets and satin-like pillow were toasy warm and comfortable, PE didn’t mind me playing with her rock hard nipples (the only benefit of freezing cold aircon that is prevalent in all Thai movie theaters) under the covers, the sake was still doing it’s magic, the belly full of sushi was sitting well, and I could go on.
When I boil it down I think I was just in a great mood. Much like when you are really smashed and sleep with a Ghoul. It’s magical until you sober up. I finally sobered up on Bangkok Dangerous. They probably teach movie critics in Movie Review University 101 classes that you shouldn’t let your mood and surroundings affect your review but I haven’t taken that class yet and don’t really want to. In fact, next movie I’m bringing along two Lolita girls to snuggle under the blanket with me. I might even enjoy Adam Sandler movies now.
[Editor's Note: I didn't get into the Nicolas Cage debate. Too obvious. He does too many films with many of them being flops. Some are okay like Face/Off and Lord of War but there's no shortage of material for critics to pound on. Fans of Nicolas Cage though will be happy to know that he is involved in 9 new films slated for 2009.]
Some good community activity on the Guide this week. Given that, I thought I would provide some highlights:
Spotlight Reviews:
1. “It is what it is, a short time hotel. It gets the job done at a reasonable price. I don’t go to the ST hotel to sleep, so a little noise is not that big of a deal to me. Any room I have been has been clean. The convenience factor and cheap price are a good deal IMHO.” - Quagmire on Nana Entertainment Plaza Short Time Hotel 3b

Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy Crawl:
Did a GoGo crawl with some mates the other night. We started in Nana with Carousel GoGo. It was pretty lame. They were doing a lesbian shower show which was really lame. One of the girls had perfect breasts but other than that it was almost boring. The place had about 10 customers and 30 or so not so attractive girls. Absolutely no energy in the place as well. This place is hit or miss. That night was a miss. Next up was Erotica GoGo but it was really lame so we didn’t stay. The Mercury Pool Bar and new restaurant on the second floor, which will be added to the Guide soon, were both empty. We then popped into Rainbow 3 GoGo for a drink. I’ve never seen so few girls here. There were about 10 girls in total. One or two hotties. Only 3 other customers. We split after one drink. At this point it was around 11:30pm so we decided to salvage the night with a Cowboy run. Nana was just dead.
Soi Cowboy on the other hand was lively and the leader’s of the pack Shark GoGo and Baccara GoGo were packed and full of energy with great lineups. Dollhouse GoGo was dead as was Suzie Wong GoGo. We then ran into PJ and Jason (part owner of Shebas) and Jason said Shebas was loaded with girls. Sure enough, it was, and was pretty fun as a result. Lastly, we ended up at Cactus Club GoGo. Cactus John was there and was friendly as usual. He really is a legend in the making. Lineup was a little weak but had a great time nonetheless.
Other Bar Bits:
- Swan 5 Coyote Bar will be closing soon. Apparently the land was sold by the Swan Empire, and at a tidy profit too.
- BBB did confirm this past week that Cocktail Club GoGo does do blowies on premises. The “do they or don’t they?” debates can now end.
- Closing times: NEP/Soi4-2:00am, SC-2:00am, Patpong-2:00am

After Hours is raging once again. The Tunnel is open again and going until 5:00am. Spice is now closing at 5am. Spicy and Boss going til 6:00am. Lucky after 6:00am. Visited Spicy and Boss this past week. Spicy was rocking. Boss was pretty lame. A friend visited the Tunnel and said it’s slowly gaining it’s old form.

- We hosted a party for the sex workers of Empower this past Tuesday. About fifty or so people from all over the country who are associated with Empower turned up. We provided them free food and pool on the second floor and they seemed to enjoy themselves. There wasn’t much to see I’m afraid unless you were one of the few customers that braved it and went upstairs. The party was lively but as I mentioned in the announcement about the party, it wasn’t like 50 Rainbow 4 girls in street clothes dancing on the tables. It was a mix of every gender and even a few farang volunteers just chilling and having a good time. They were all very friendly and really enjoyed the Pool and Internet. I brought a few bloggers upstairs but even I felt a little shy, like attending a wedding reception you weren’t invited to. It would have been far more interesting if we put the food on the first floor but they wanted a little more privacy so the open second floor was a better fit for them. Thanks to those who showed up and hope you weren’t too disappointed.
- Cheers, fairwell, and good luck to our new friends G.I. John and Hotlanta Michael. Thanks for hanging guys.
- Breakfast is now served. Free Wifi meet the Mango McMUFFin.
- We tied this week and proudly remain winless at 0-3-2.
- Next Party: October 3rd tenatively, more info. to come…

The VIP seats in Bangkok cinemas are terrific. But I do have a cautionary tale for mango bloggers if you take your Thai cutie with you.
My gf and I saw Ironman at the Nokia ultra screen cinema at Siam Paragon. As soon as we settled back and were covered with blankets, she disappeared and started on a Lolita’s special.
Just as I was settled back with a large grin on my face, we heard the opening bars of the national anthem. Suddenly, everyone was standing up to attention. So was I, but not in the right place…
We leapt up and I spent an uncomfortable 3 minutes desperately holding on to the blanket to avoid embarrassment and possible arrest, but I did catch a few other patrons checking out the trousers around my feet.
After that, the moment was lost, but the film was good.

Regarding the Cocktail Club bathroom services, this has been a bone (f’narr) of contention for some time.
I think I’ve figured it out.
If you wander in late on, it seems that most of the girls will fall over themselves in their rabid eagerness to siphon out your precious bodily fluids.
Previously, I’d visited earlier in the evening, and been refused.
Haven’t figured out exactly what time things change over - more research is clearly required…
View all comments by Bangkok Bad Boy
I can also confirm that a variety of services are available in the Bathroom Suite. Not all the girls will provide and BBB is correct in stating that the later you go the higher the chances of being syphoned. I once went in around 1:45am and ended up with two girls for a plumbing inspection and drain clearance. The cut-off point is around 11:30pm as the girls are starting to get desperate. Having said that if you get there earlier and buy enough drinks mentioning the word “Bathroom” can get interesting results.
I like this bar, no real lookers, but you can have fun if you buy enough drinks. Mama-san is a pain but the manageress has a stupendous set of natural mammaries.
A few years ago they had a short-time room upstairs hidden behind a moveable cupboard…sadly no longer. But they still have a pool table upstairs and it can be fun to drag a few Issan hustlers up there!!

@Mr Carpet: I think it’s not on the Guide because everyone knows that you get there by falling into a taxi and saying “rucky” on an evening when you’re drunk enough not to have been.
Due to the severe state of inebriation required in order for it to seem like a good idea, nobody actually knows exactly where it is

dc - you are brave. I think under Thai Law your gf is suppose to report you for an infraction of Lèse majesté but seemed like she let it slide. nice one.
steamingwetdropletsonyourback - date rape hair? where dd the hell did that come from. shit that is funny.
mr - sorry. every time I go there I mean to get the GPS but I am too drunk to remember. remember going to lucky means u are not going to get lucky. just tell the cabbies - lucky pub.

My only comment on the Bangkok Dangerous topic is that I spent most of the movie admiring the Bangkok backgrounds and being excited by the fact that I could identify nearly every scene in the movie.
I didn’t spend much time worrying about the plot, so I walked out happy. Also the Thai cutie who went to see it with me at MajOR in Ekkamai enjoyed the MK suki before the movie and I enjoyed dessert after the movie back at my place. All in all a good night.
Anyone who has never enjoyed the Gold Class/Emperor Class/VIP seating at Thai cinemas should take a break between fucks on your next trip to the Land of Smiles and take your girlfriend du jour to the movies. 500 or 600 baht gets you a fantastic movie experience, though I’ve found that many TGs, once the King’s song is finished and they are comfy and warm under the covers, tend to fall asleep during the movie.
Maybe I just need to spend more time playing with their rock hard nipples…?
View all comments by Werewolf
ww - totally agree the VIP thing rocks but it is almost too comfy. I am the same way on the movie. It was more about seeing bkk on the big screen. I saw the soi cowboy scenes being filmed. A friend of mine knows the lead thai guy and I figured this may also pique people’s interest in Thailand. I was confused as to where the scene of the botched assassination was, with the funky glass looking pyramid, but I drove by that the other night.

someday, if I really have to, since in my opinion going to lucky means I am having he most unlucky night - I will get the GPS but all the taxis know the place and I am sure you are not driving or walking to lucky.
we will take your comment as the highest paid compliment that I am sure you intended it to be.

Found it! During one of my visits I remembered to grab a business card. I just found it. The address to Lucky Pub is 133/1 Rajprarop Rd., Rajtaevee, Bangkok. There is a map on the back too so I will be posting Lucky up on the Guide later today and will post a reply here with the link.
On another note, this just in from the Empower people:
Big Thanks to Big Mango.
We want to say many thanx to the Big Mango for good food and good drink
…
Cheers,
Sex Workers Network.
I left out the content of the e-mail as it was personal but thought the sig was interesting. When we first mentioned the party we used the term “sex worker” and some people thought we made that up and it was possibly derogatory. It wasn’t, this is what they call themselves.

A friend of mine called me a few weeks ago asking me to tell him if Lucky club really existed, because he’d twice asked taxi drivers to take him there and both times had been taken instead to Boss.
I told him that Lucky was close to Boss, but I wasn’t sure exactly where because I’d never been sober enough on my visits to get it right. I said it was certainly no more than 5 minutes cab ride from Boss, but I’d only gotten there because taxis took me there.
Sound familiar??
Hmmmmm…. Maybe it only exists when you’re drunk.
View all comments by Werewolf
To go to Lucky you take the street in front of Central World (not sure if it is still Ratcha damri or already Ratcha Prarop) going north. You pass the intersection with Petchaburi and then you are on Ratcha Prarop for sure. Lucky is some 2-300 meters on the right.
Or is it?

The Ghost was in BKK last Friday and Saturday night. He’s a condensed version of the full report I put on my site. (The HTML may not all take, so sorry if the formatting sucks.)
Mandarin – Upstairs a half-dozen girls were left. They were dancing topless, but nothing was remarkable enough to stick around for more than one drink.
Rainbow 4 - Even though I don’t know squat about Nana, I was still convinced that after midnight, all the hot talent at Rainbow 4 would be long gone the Japanese route. I was very wrong. Playing dumb tourist, I asked the mamasan to bring over three of her best. One appeared and I nearly spilled my drink. But after having one sip from her tiny cola, she disappeared, never to return. Mama said she got barfined. I did as I do in Pattaya in such situations: refuse to pay for the lady drink. But that tactic doesn’t seem to work in Bangkok. Another girl was then presented, also hot, but utterly boring and she was dismissed and I departed.
Rainbow 3 - Unlike 4, Rainbow 3 was totally blown out. Three girls were on stage and one eager, but oddly cross-eyed dancer tried to entice me into paying the barfine for her. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t my Barcardi-blinded vision, but the right side of her face seemed smaller than the left side and I just couldn’t get past it. The lights came up and she and the mamasan then tag-teamed me for the barfine. I couldn’t seem to make my point clear that barfines are to compensate the bar for the lost revenue from the girl going early. Since the bar was closed, I’d be damned if I was going to pay 600 baht to the bar and God knows how much for a cross-eyed harlot when the Nana parking lot was just steps away.
Soi Cowboy
Black & White - First stop for happy hour. Looks great, but early it’s empty. Four girls on stage with a combined excess 20 kilos between them. All are well\-endowed though, but that wasn’t enough to convince me to buy them a drink. One 60-baht vodka tonic and out.
Tilac – Ran into hot girls and pure attitude. Hot girl shakes a little, drops down and lifts her skirt for the briefest second and I hand over 20 baht. She acts like I just spit on her. “No one ever give me just 20 baht tip.” Honey, I want to say, no one else gave you jack shit, so I think a thank you is actually in order.
Baccara - One team is upstairs topless with skirts. The place doesn’t quite match the hype though, with about 40% of the talent on stage looking thick around the middle. Next team comes on and the tops stay on. Drinks are stupid priced at 130 for orange juice and 150 baht for a tequila shot lady drink.
Shark - In a fight between Shark and Baccara, take the fish. The place was not only rammed with customers, but the best girls as well. Notable here is the number of surgically enhanced bust lines.

How Cage gets acting gigs are beyond me. Hes a monumentally dull prick. He must have the oral finesse of a lolitas mamasan.
We all know Jean Reno is the coolest assasin ever, despite the huge handicap of being French.
They should of given me a fistful of cash and let me shoot a film in the Bangers. Mango Dangerous. Theres food for thought.
“PE didn’t mind me playing with her rock hard nipples” - I thought Elk was in Cambodia?

john cusack was better. and to top it off he wasn’t french and had great taste in music. he was stabbing a guy in the throat with a ballpoint pen while matador was playing down the hall. hard to beat that.
he gets films because he’s a coppola. it’s kind of like how his cousin sofia is still taken as a serious director after marie antoinette.
wasn’t he in fast times at ridgemont high also?? my mind automatically focuses on phoebe cates coming out of the pool so the rest of that film is a blur.

I went to Spicey about 2 weeks ago and at 2:30am they locked the gate and doors, filled the place up with about 30 cops and flicked the lights on. Wow They started to check Passports letting one out at a time and a few people had there piss tested. After about 20 minutes they opened the gates and let everyone out. But they stood outside and checked some more random people. I didn’t see any of the old cops in there but I have seen them at Boss now. Not Fun. I swore I wouldn’t go back again, well not until after I go back to finish my bottle of Vodka.
What’s the deal with them shutting Spicey at 2am and then sending everyone across the road to pay again to get into Spicey 2 which is exactly like AfterDark use to be like in Patpong.

@PGhost: Thanks for the update. Was at Shark tonight and it was outstanding as usual. Baccara was heaving as was Tilac but these places suck when they’re so busy.
@JD: My tix at Major Esplanade were 500/each which is still expensive but sometimes it’s fun to treat yourself to the monster seating. Maybe sacrifice a Long Time down to a Short Time and use the extra 1000 and take a date. Popcorn will be extra though.
@YP: I have a standard contract used by amateur pornographers everywhere ready for you to sign. We can begin filming mid-January. As for PE’s nipples, please read the Editorial Note. I was clear about PE not being Pants. Plus, I doubt they get hard anymore. I did forget however to warn folks that mentally substituting Pants Elk for PE in the story above can be hazardous to your health.
@UCW: Sophia is da bomb. C’mon Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation are some quality films. No? I didn’t see Marie Antoinette so don’t know about that.
@YR: Hadn’t heard about the BS at Spicy. That sucks. Was just there til 6am the other night and all was well.

Hey Pmmp!
Was staying down the street from Esplanade during my last trip to BKK. Did many a shopping adventures with a few late teen early twenties friends and had a great time there! The bowling was a blast, and there’s something special about seeing a girl that has never been in cold weather for ice & snow trying to stay up right at rink!
Never did the theater so will go this next trip in October! But the mall is cool and the Japanese sushi place is great?
thanks for the review man, C yall soon!

Anybody ever checked out the skate park in Esplande it’s wicked. They got a shop from Preduce, Thailands first skate team. It’s basically a bunch of Queens Park Skaters but there in talks about sponsorship. Some of them are real good. Search for Keng on Trans world sports to catch a clip. They had an launch party in Bed Club just over a year ago.

Actually forgot to mention I bumped in Walker Ryan (St Helana, California) skating in Queens Park one night, He was in the movie Kids. So anyhow took them out to Nana. The kid was speechless, I won’t say anymore but I made sure he didn’t spend a penny and they will be back.

spciy is fucked right now. early closes and busts. my guess is the cops behind it must have pissed off another faction since being a place owned by cops getting checked by other cops usually spells doom.
Tunnel appears to be back to strength and park bridge is catching the 1-3 crowds.

I just saw Bangkok Dangerous today. I had no idea there were so many muggers and elephants wandering the streets of Bangkok.
The Caribbean Club girls looked smoking hot though.
View all comments by gavinmac
gm - the elephant thing was way over done. This is the stuff I am surprised the Pang Bros let happen.
I am still trying to find out of those girls are the girls who work on CC or where brought in for the movie. I have yet to go to CC so I don’t know but I plan on checking it out soon.
Thai G-CLub goers say that Resort and CC tend to trade off as between the 2 best G Clubs in THailand.
View all comments by sideshowBOB
Here’s a youtube clip of the CC girls. I think it’s the same song/number as in the film.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuX3U9xh6u0
Part of me thinks the girls shown in the film were too hot to be regular coyote girls, but then another part of me thinks it would be totally stupid to actually bring in professional models and teach them how to do the same dance routine that the acceptably hot staff girls could already do.
Maybe they brought in a few ringers for the movie, but I would guess most of the “extras” were regular staff. I wonder how much, if anything, they got paid to be in the movie.
Man, it would be great if there was a website where guys living in Bangkok reviewed member clubs and could answer some of these questions.
View all comments by gavinmac
gm - nice find. interesting that there is no one in the club during this. this could be rehearsal for the movie given the dates of this.
They seem to be pretty out of sync for this vido so I don’t think perfecting the moves is a big deal. its how hot they are.
a lot of the g clubs have part timers and can get staff for parties as needed. I think many of the good g xlubs have coyote girls as hot as the movie. Hell - I did not even think either of the lead girls were hot and you can see better in a g club on any given night.
I will make it my mission to get to CC and check it out.
sucks to be me.
