04/17/2022 Also known as Chai Lai and Dangerous Flowers, this Thai action film reimagines Charlie's Angels as a Thai-centric adventure made for 35 million baht instead of the $92 million dollar budget for the Hollywood film. The five Dangerous Flowers are Kulap(Rose) played by Bongkoj Khongmalai, Bua (Lotus) who is Supaksorn Chaimongkol, Chaba (Hibiscus) acted by Jintara Poonlarp, Pouy-sian (Crown of Thorns) who is Kessarin Ektawatkul and Na-wua (Spadix) played by Bunyawan Pongsuwan. Their job is to protect Miki, the daughter of a professor who knows the location of a hidden treasure known as the Andaman Pearl. The best joke here is that chai-lai is thai for gorgeous, which makes this a perfect title. There's literally non-stop action and a surprising amount of blood, as well as scenes that come directly out of the American version, as well as the idea that men always screw over the Angels. There's also a bad guy named Dragon, Miki's evil stepmother Mei Ling and a cross-eyed transgender villain named King Kong who gets shot more times than I can count. Also, seeing as how the women in this wear swimsuits and lingerie for their missions, it's not always correct, but it is fun. They're definitely more capable than any of the man they come up against, which is good to see. See more 03/27/2011 Promising and relatively funny beginning before one realizes that it is not at all a martial arts movie, like it says in the reviews; and given the stupid acting and lack of sustained humor, if at least the actors were trained martial artists (and the five Thai angels hotter), this film would be watchable if only for fight scenes involving foxy, ass-kicking babes... instead, the fight sequencesâ?? are standard, extremely poorly choreographed action comedy fare See more 06/30/2010 Good film not so great special effects were not surprising and well the villain of the didn't look to his part. Charly's Angels version in Thailand. Even though their was a couple of good looking woman, movie didn't meet my expectation on being foreign. See more 02/10/2010 Wongkamlao is the perfect casting as the boss. Khongmalai, Chaimongkol and Ektawatkul fill their roles well. The directing leaves much room for improvement. Funny, campy, goofy. See more 01/10/2010 "Chai Lai" is a campy action comedy about five secret agents trying to save some mystical gem that regulates the world's oceans from a nefarious businessman. Yes, that is the plot and, no, it does not make sense. Little in this movie ultimately does. The film trades exclusively on its attractive female leads (that's certainly why I watched it) and does feature some...interesting fight sequences (notably the towel fight sequence). Overall, though, it's wholly stupid; to its credit, however, it knows that it's stupid and relishes it. That makes it impossible to hate even though you should. See more 12/20/2009 The Thai version of Charlie's Angels all done in a humourous and tongue in cheek fashion. It's also incredibly cheesy and the acting is so bad. But there are a couple of good laughs thrown in - mostly to do with a cross eyed woman and a gender bender baddie. See more Read all reviews
