Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Panna Rittikrai was the action choreographer for Ong-Bak; this film showcases his signature 'no stunt doubles, no CGI' philosophy that defined Thai action cinema's 2000s boom.
The rocket festival depicted is based on real Isan tradition still practiced today — though locals don't typically use them for cattle-rustling vigilante justice.
