I realize most of you weren’t particularly impressed by the trailer for the action comedy The Microchip. I fully agree it looked awful but I thought Simon Kook, who seems just on the verge of hitting the big time and following Tony Jaa’s footsteps, showed promise.
We’ve yet to see him in anything really good but Siam Fighter is definitely headed in the right direction. Shot as part of a Panasonic 3D promotion, the short film is, thankfully, not in 3D and features a pretty boring premise of a guy saving the girl he likes from kidnappers. It starts off slowly, showcasing the surroundings and making a pretty nice looking promo video for rural Thailand but you want to start paying attention at the six minute mark. At this point, the girl’s been kidnapped and Kook jumps into action. From that point on, it’s pretty much non-stop action.

"Give me back the chip!!" Don't shoot the messenger, but apparently this Microchip flick stars a guy who is to replace Tony Jaa, the Thai martial arts superstar who can't seem to get away from Ong Bak. The film is called The Microchip and it's a terribly cheesy Thai action movie starring Simon Kook - the dude that's supposed to be just as good as Jaa. Quiet Earth found the trailer and I know it's pretty bad, but at least it's something to watch. The story obviously involves some microchip being stolen or something, but it doesn't matter. Give it a shot if you wish, but don't blame us if you hate this, it is very cheesy. Extended cut here. Watch an official trailer for Krissanapong Rachata's The Microchip: An epic battle to avert disaster! Gotta love the roughly translated sales quotes in it. The Microchip is both...
