Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

dbborroughs Parody/homage/ pastiche/(take your pick) film thats a send up of romance movies and Italian westerns. so over the top you'll wonder if there ever was a top, this is one wild ride, even by Thai movie standards.With blood and gore and painted backgrounds mixing with real locations and a very deliberate sense of reality this film is either going to strike you as a master piece or a piece of cow flop. I'm somewhere in the middle-leaning towards the dislike camp. The problem for me its so artificial I that I was watching the wheels and gears whir instead of watching the story unfold. I also am not really in love with the idea that this is almost two hours long. Overwhelmed with the artifice I turned it off a good clip in. The reaction is not really unexpected since I have a real love hate relations hip with the Thai film industry where I find I either lover or hate the films, there is no rhyme or reason other than I dislike most Thai horror films I stumble upon on my own.Is Black Tiger worth seeing (or should that be trying?)? Hell yea. There is nothing like it for shaking the dust from the notion of all movies are the same. There is nothing like this I've ever seen in the west and very few in the east.

lotekguy-1 Despite the surprising success of oddball flicks like Napoleon Dynamite or Shaun of the Dead, most weird little films that become "cult" favorites evolve over time. Occasionally, one can spot a candidate from day one, like this bizarre Thai import mixing Spaghetti Westerns with 1950s-style sappy romantic dramas, touches of campy comedy, and hokey, mournful love songs. Non-sequiturs among the clothes and props defy a time-line for the action. As the film careens among its genres, aided by absurdly florid colors and a few surreal stage backdrops, following the story is like watching others play ping-pong.Young love, forbidden by class differences, eventually causes one peasant lad to become the fastest gun in an outlaw gang. The landowner's daughter is engaged to an ambitious police captain, though she still loves the playmate of her youth. Some of the acting is so bad it must have been intentional. The comedy aspects aren't enough to make it special; the romance and drama side won't work up any tears, because there's no way to take the lovers and their travails seriously. But as a cultural novelty, this one's worth a look. How many chances do you think you'll get to watch the Thai equivalent of Jesse James' gang on horseback, racing through rice paddies, and fighting the cops with six-shooters and bazookas?

kosmasp When I went to see that movie at a cinema a few years ago, I only heard that it was supposed to be good and hadn't read anything else about it. I was in for a treat! At first I wasn't sure if this movie was serious or if it was more like a spoof. That became pretty clear after a few minutes into the movie. It was meant to be funny, but that didn't mean that you didn't care about the characters. Quite the contrary was the case. Whenever you laughed with the characters, you began to like them a little more and more ... Which ultimately worked very good for the drama parts of the movie.This movie walks a very thin line, between comedy and drama. But it never fails to deliver on both occasions. The movie breaks the illusion of being a movie very quickly, also. But that doesn't affect the drama. Although you can see painted backgrounds or back-screen projections in cars (latter are in black-and-white, the movie itself is in color) that doesn't distract.The movie has rich colors which reminded me a little bit of Bollywood movies. That's without all the singing and dancing, so don't worry! ;o) If you like your movies a little off beat and weird, go out and watch this one! Don't forget: It's OK to laugh! :o)

NateManD "Tears of the black Tiger" is a one of a kind western from Thailand. In fact it's the only other film I have seen from Thailand besides "Last life in the Universe. Miramax owns the U.S rights to the film, but for some odd reason it was never released and continues to collect dust on their shelf. The film has a bright Technicolor style similar to "the Wizard of Oz" and Guy Maddin's "Careful". O.K., so take these bright surreal elements and add over the top Peckinpah / Pete Jackson style shoot outs, a romantic story and musical interludes. In other words, you're prepared for an experience that is out of this world.The best way to describe it is ... a hilarious and romantic candy colored spaghetti western with Asian cowboys and bloody shootouts. If you are searching for something completely different and original, you came to the right place.
