Bangkok Dangerous’ action and unique characters make it an entertaining film

“Pain is weakness leaving the body.” —JOE

Golightly observes that while Bangkok Dangerous’ action and unique characters make it an entertaining film, it offers a compelling subtext as well: “There’s a theme of redemption and the idea of second chances running throughout the movie.”
Oxide Pang compares Bangkok Dangerous to Tom Yum Goong, a famous Thai dish. “It’s very spicy and sometimes people fear the spicy, but they’re always tempted by it.

When you first taste it, you might be apprehensive because you don’t know what it will be like, but then you sense bit of sour, a bit of sweet, and a bit of spicy as well, like our movie.”

His brother Danny adds, “We know that the audience response is out of our control now, but we hope that after watching the movie, and comparing it to the first, we believe people will think it’s even better.”

While acknowledging that Joe isn’t a role model in the traditional sense, star Nicolas Cage suggests the character’s transformation from hitman to hero can be inspirational for audiences. “People change all the time,” he points out. “Some people don’t believe in change, but I don’t subscribe to that philosophy. I think that people can be awakened through a teacher, or through a romantic experience or just getting off an airplane and feeling what’s in the air.”
