Main actors are Sombat Methanee and Aranya Namwong. The movie director was Kom Akadej, who got the “international name of Som Kit in the credits, which is a version of his middle name, Somkit. All the other actors got Chinese style names, probably to cash in on the Hong Kong market and the rest of the worlds wish for more Kung Fu movies. The Killer Elephants cannot be found anymore in Thailand except at the Thai Film Archive, the original Thai version. Joseph Lai and his IFD Arts and Entertainment prepared this international version, which is the most common version outside Thailand. This DVD was released by Swedish company Attackafant Entertainment directed by Fred Anderson, a well known lover of Thai cinema. This DVD is the first official ไผ่กำเพลิง DVD release ever. The "Killer Elephants" movie rights in Thailand belongs to Coliseum film (บริษัท โคลีเซี่ยมฟีล์ม), company from Kom Akadej. Up to now no VCD / DVD was released in Thailand with correct rights according to Thai law. Only a video tape was released long time ago. Coliseum film company would sell the rights for all Kom Akadej’s movies and not only for 'Killers Elephants' movie. Thai Company XxX (Triple X) was only interested in 'Killer Elephants' movie so up to this day Thai people are still waiting for a Thai version of ไผ่กำเพล to be released again. The movie also includes also famous supporting actors such as Yodchai Meksuwan, Naiyana Shewanan, Mayurachath Muarnprasitivej, Kanchit Kwanpracha, Pipop Pupinyo, Dam Datsakorn, Sayan Chantaraviboon. The finest batch of Thai actors during 1970’s! Only Sorapong Chatree and Krung Srivilai are missing. Pipop Pupinyo, Kanchit Kwanpracha and Dam Datsakorn were the regular bad guys in Thai cinema and so of course even in The Killer Elephants! The same story was also released as Thai TV lakorn in 2004.

Yim is fully aware but doesn't disclose the secret. Too asks Yui to cancel the debts with Rataya's father in order to avoid the ghost harassing him but he prefers to do good deeds (ทำบุญ). Rataya disguised as a ghost tries to get the document (โฉนดที่ดิน) but it ends badly as Yiu's daughter called Nut shoots at her. Unfortunately she is not injured but Yiu is now aware of the trick. On the way to get back his wife (รับไม่ได้), Yiu is attacked by two masked robbers being Too and Rataya. Yui gives Rataya an ultimatum of 10 days. Yim has a plan to replace Rataya by another lady called Prai (Metta Roongrat). Finally Yui announces he is not able to perform husband duty! Yim gives him a special medicine but it is finally a laxative medicine (มีปืนก็ไม่มีลูก, ยิงเท่าไรก็ไม่ดัง). Rataya starts to suspect that Yim is more than a domestic helper as he can speak English. Yiu gives back the property title and the debt reconnaissance is burnt. Aware that Yim’s real name is Ran, Nut, daughter of Yui, is suddenly interested in Yim. Seeing Yim arguing with Nut, Rataya flees away. Movie ends happily, i.e. Ran with Rataya and Yiu with Prim. A TV serie based on the same story was released in year 1992.
