I bough this movie when i was still trying to get my hand on everything that included martial arts. After many Thai disappointments, i decided to put this movie in the "to watch at an ulterior date" box. I finally decided to give it a go.So once again, another Thai movie that do everything it can to make me uninterested in the protagonists. I am not hard to please, a good old revenge flick is usually a winning formula for me. Yet this is exactly the case here, a revenge plot, yet its far from being in the winning category i am afraid.The martial arts are not bad at all, some scenes are actually pretty cool, but the problem is, there is some downs in the movie where nothing happen in term of action and the story is just simply uninteresting, mostly because of the characters. The whole rocket flying main dude was just ridiculous, the wizard character and the other guy using magic consist mostly of making small explosion of sand and having the enemies jump around, taking away the interest for me in the genuine action scenes And finally the 2 other bad guys, the cannibal big dude and the guy trying to sell them tractor are just so cartoon... only the Thais can pull out that much cartoonish characters.All the non sense in the movie drive me away from what could had been a cool driven by revenge flick with spectacular martial arts. Yes Dan Chupong may not be Tony Jaa but he still pull out great choreography's.The problem with Thai movies for me is that there is always non sense that make me roll my eyes and kill any interest i may have in the movie. Maybe its because i am a westerner, but i don't see to have that much problem with Chinese movies, even the more traditional ones. If anything some like Ip Man with Donnie Yen are among my favourite movies.I do not recommend Dynamite Warrior unless you don't mind those Thai set-ups and are crazy for martial arts, no matter the story. I hesitated to watch it for a long time (over 1 year) and still it was exactly what i tough it was. Back to the pawnshop...next.

The movie is great if you love rotten teeth.I love martial arts movies but this thing is a piece o crap. However, if you are plain and simple minded then you should love this movie. Or if you love rotten teeth this is the movie for you.Terrible movie, worse action and acting.Waste of time, do not bother with this garbage you will regret it.The movie is great if you love rotten teeth.I love martial arts movies but this thing is a piece o crap.

Really now folks... this movie isn't nearly as bad as the low rating suggests. It's got it all: evil warlocks, would-be-rapists with cleft palates, herds of water buffaloes, menstrual blood, rocket-ridin' Thai fighters, cannibalism, and tons of knee-meets face action.While the action is a bit contrived and gets slightly old after a while, the sheer bizarreness of the plot and the few (unexpected) twists kept us going. It does pay off in the end.So yes, I was entertained, and this'll go on my shelf of off the wall Thai films. It's no Ong Bak or even Born to Fight, but it's certainly different. Rocket riding magical fighters... I mean, you can't make some of this stuff up! Worth a watch and a laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. A good 2am action film to watch with your buddies.

I actually own a mix of over 40 old and new martial arts movies. I have also seen recent productions like City of Violence(Korea)and Kill Zone(china)and despite my great exposure to the genre this movie's boldness in comedy, creative and action makes it stand out as the most fully entertaining action movie in a few years. I have seen ong bak, the protector, and born to fight all form the same director and enjoyed all three very much. This movie fits right in; yet still stands out because of the originality, at least in the west, of its story. The main actor was very good and convincing in his fighting. I think the director is the among the best fight action choreographers and photographers in the movie industry second only to matrix legend yuen woo ping and tied with Corey Yuen.
