The movie
Five spies, each with their own specialty, are called to battle international crime. More well known under the code name Chai Lai, the little group composed of the sexy Rose, Lotus, Poysien, Spadix and Hibiscus, will have to accomplish an extremely perilous mission : to recover a little girl in possession of a secret that could annihilate the planet. The problem is that she was kidnapped by dangerous criminals who want to appropriate her secret. A transvestite nicknamed King Kong and a walleyed super spy... there is no doubt, we are in a Thai action comedy. With this «Charlie’s Angels» seasoned with nuoc-mâm and coconut milk, the filmmaker Poj Arnon delivers a completely crazy, exotic and sexy movie.
