Enter Neu (Yanin), a wandering musician who was abandoned by her parents as a young girl, and left to fend for herself on the streets. Upon encountering a mysterious group of young fighters, Neu learns how to combine Muay Thai, drunken boxing, and hip-hop dance techniques in a way that gives her the upper-hand over almost any opponent. Now, the same organization that once terrorized her entire nation is about to crumble, one broken, bleeding henchman at a time. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Amazing and the best Thai girl fighting movie ever made. This was surprising me personally, because JeeJa Yanin's previous role in Chocolate was so introverted and robotic that it was essentially impossible to determine whether or not this girl could steal a scene without ... read morebeating someone's brains in. In Raging Phoenix, however, she really cuts loose during the opening half as she jokes around, engages in some funny dialogue, and participates in some light-hearted fight scenes involving drunken styles of martial arts. That one-vs-many boat brawl is - now wait for it - a boat-load of fun.
    I love the cavern hideout finale lasts a solid 30 minutes is outstanding as well as JeeJa is going to defeat three enemies by herself while her buddies were down.
    Tell you the truth, I really liked JeeJa's debut movie better than this.

    Rashane Limtrakul successfully brings another martial arts action film, known as Raging Phoenix, from Thailand to the screen.

    At just under 1 hour and 50 minutes, this picture not only delivers the goods in the martial arts department, but it also finds the time to produ

    ... read morece a story that does a little more than fill the scenes between the fights. It is a bit underdeveloped, but points are granted for trying.

    There is a ton of action to go around. A lot of it happens in the first half before toning down for the story in the early second half. The film employs a handful of slow motion shots for the big hits; however there are still enough real time shots for some high octane fights. There are also a number of unique moves that are worth multiple viewings.

    JeeJa Yanin gets the chance to show that she has some acting talent to go along with her martial arts skills. JeeJa Yanin plus drunken martial arts equals entertainment. The rest of the supporting cast is also pretty good and most of them take part in the action.

    Raging Phoenix is another hit in the line of martial arts action movies. Now get drunk and unleash the pain.

    I really enjoyed this- it is probably an action movie geared more towards those with a *slight* affinity for romance- but the action was good and very plentiful, the story wasn't lacking, and it actually got some tears out of me. I would recommend this for those that like marti... read moreal arts action without buckets of blood. The only inconsistency I found was that the beginning is all about drunken martial arts only later, really don't use alcohol. This can probably be explained by the "secret" to the fighting art later explained- but still you have to look deep to grasp that.

    The only reason why I give this movie such a high rating is pretty much solely based on the martail arts style and large amount of fights. The story was not interrsting in the least and many of the attacks looked extreemly weak and could not have hurt anyone. But if you can suspe... read morend belief in that area the style was unique fast and entertaining. There were also so quite different looking actors selected for the roles witch I found interesting visually.
