I'd kind of forgotten about this one until stumbling across a post over at WiseKwai jogged my memory and a quick trip to the film's website showed that, yes indeedy, it has been updated and now includes a downloadable version of the trailer along with two streaming music videos.

For the forgetful among you, Kung Fu Tootsie is the new action comedy from the production company behind such high end Thai fare as Dorm, Shutter and Alone. Not only does this one break the studio's streak of films with one word names it also moves them away from the horror influenced pictures that have been their bread and butter recently into the world of comedy and if you can safely say just one thing about Thai comedy it's that nobody will ever accuse it of being too subtle.

The film -- at least partially a knock on Kung Fu Hustle -- is an action comedy about a leaderless triad gang forced to call upon their dead bosses' son for leadership despite that son being flamboyantly transgendered, his only fight skills in the rather silly art of lady-boxing. Can they toughen him up in time to fend off their rivals? Yes, it's all very silly.

Like all Thai websites, this one loads up VERY slow. Get the trailer downloading in the background and occupy yourself otherwise while it downloads ...
