Sars Wars

Found this movie at pmall. At first I thought it was a stupid spin off of Star Wars from the name.

Plot for the movie is simple. Sars gets to Bangkok. While I was writing this review I was mentioning Thailand and then I looked at the poster and it says Bangkok. Same area since Bangkok is the capital of Thailand. Anyways, a person got infected and then transferred it by biting others in an apartment. You know, the classic case for zombies, getting bit and you get infected. In the meantime, this hot chick gets kidnapped for ransom and ended in the same apartment. Father sends his best student to save her. The father is some kind of assassin teacher. Makes sense to send his student to save her.

The movie features couple of animation scenes which are of low quality.

To start off the story, a health speaker mentions that Thailand is safe from the most deadly virus, Sars Virus No. 4 . Nice, you just screwed over Thailand by saying that!

Looks like sars came from Africa! Lets just bomb them so our world will be virus free!

And this cockroach starts flying from Africa to Thailand.

Now you know the outcome of getting sars.

This girl is hot. She is the one that got kidnapped. This angle makes her look like a Thai ver of Megan Fox.

Later in the story, another hot chick joins us. She is a scientist who has been trying to find a cure for sars.

Slo-mo where she takes off her mask. Look at that smooth silky hair.

Later her suit gets ripped and apparently she wheres this under it. Doesn't hurt to have some eye candy.

She reminds me of Haruka Hasegawa from Moyashimon with her gothic and skimpy clothing.

The movie tries to be everything but fails. It is a fun movie to watch though, but it could have been better.  It is more of a comedy movie than anything else as it doesn’t take itself seriously. Kinda like a slapstick humour.

Guess what? There is a plot twist in the end! It is so stupid and cheesy, but you got to find that out yourself.

Overall this is a movie that could be enjoyed. There are some pacing problems, but it is not as worst as Tokyo Gore Police which takes up so much time in silence and dead air. The humour really keeps the movie alive and it works.

other thoughts: It is impossible to find any information on Thai chicks. You type their name on google, Pfihnefdih Ynfeiuanfd, and you get no results.  Especially when I watched Sick Nurses, a horror Thai movie which I should have reviewed but don’t have the movie anymore, I get no results and pictures of the actresses.
