Fireball Muay Thai Dunk

A silly action movie that obviously hopes that by putting two of men’s favourite things together – basketball and martial arts – it could be a hit. Well, think again.

Director: Thanakorn Pongsuwan
Cast: Preeti ‘Bank’ Barameeanant, 9 Million Sam, Anuwat ‘Earth’ Jeg, Kumpanat ‘Johnny’ Ungsoongnern, Karnnut ‘Bas’ Samerjai, Kanutra ‘Eam’ Chuchuaysuwan, Arusha ‘A’ Tosawas, Putarit Prohmbrundarn

A ridiculous action movie that mixes basketball with muay thai, Fireball Muay Thai Dunk stars Preeti Barameeanant as a man who wakes up from a coma to find that his brother has been killed in a deadly game of basketball.

Called “fireball”, the illegal sport pits two muay thai/basketball teams against each other. Players can use martial arts and weapons – even murder – to stop the opposing team from putting the ball in the hoop.

Preeti joins the sport to avenge his brother’s death. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
