The writer/director worked as an acting coach on Bangkok Dangerous.

^hardly any new ground broken in that movie

Hangover 1 and 2.

The Beach. Nice for the views of Phi Phi but nothing else. Snake blood in Khoa San...

At least it keeps the rich man-babies there in search of pissing off their parents.

Get some fucking soap whilst you are at it as well

I went to see 'Butterfly Man' in bangkok.

Long time ago now.

I think there was a thread about it.

I think the eponymous character visited that river where we're asked to believe a dragon spits fireballs at a predetermined time.

He also spent some time on Samui.

It was all rather forgettable.

Just downloaded 'Cherm' off asia torrents.com and will watch this evening.

On the Buses went to Thailand?

The first part when they (accidentally) find themselves in Patpong is a fairly good snapshot of the time and a highlight of Reg Varney's acting career.

There's no reference to this anywhere, so I'll assume you are kidding, right? I love On the Buses!

Bad acting and weak characters who aren't even likeable in any way.

I just watched 'Cherm' (midnight love story) and it was ok, good scenery of Bangkok, but not much character development. Oh well, maybe it's me, up at 4am watching films..
