Loose For Die! Poster And Five Stills For Thai Combat Basketball Flick FIREBALL!

I know, I know ... I shouldn't make fun of those who don't speak English as a first language but it's hard sometimes and the tag lines on the English poster for upcoming Thai action flick Fireball made me giggle. But, trust me, if all this film had going for it was a goofy tagline there's no way I'd be posting about it.

The new film by the director of Opapatika - a flawed but fascinating bit of work - Fireball is the stuff of instant cult hits: a full contact combat sports movie fusing all out muay thai action with - of all things - basketball. Yes, it's a goofy premise but they're going for it and while there is not yet a trailer that they're willing to show in public for this yet there is a sales reel that I've managed to see and it looks like a crazy good time, a bone crunching blood sport that pushes its premise as far as it possibly can.

So, no trailer but I do have the brand new posters - both Thai and English versions - and a quintet of stills to share. Hit the link below for those.

He he, Lose For Die.
I don't even know what that means.
