Thai movie ล่าพยัคฆ์ was released in year 1983 and lasts 1h51mn. It was released under VHS format (1h51mn) and under VCD format (1h34mn). Cha (Sombat Methanee) and Phayak (Toon Hiransap) are soldiers (รับจ้างชายแดน). Being attacked and overwhelmed by enemies, Cha forces Phayak to flee as he has a family to take care to take care. While Phayak is away, ruffians led by Klam (Chat Mongkolchai) raid his house. They, including Paen Pleumsachai, kidnap his father Sukon Koewliam and his sister Phayao (Thitima Sangkapitak). His sister is deceived by Khun Amnat (Nard Poowanai), the local mafia leader, as he simulates a fake release. Klam shot the father but bullets cannot hurt him (ยิงไม่เข้า) as he is wearing a sacred protective Buddhist amulet so they hit him very badly. Phayak goes back home. Nuan (Naowarat Yooktanun), Phayak's friend, is also harassed by the ruffians (วันนี้ไม่อยากทำบาป) led by Phalat (Rith Luecha). Phayak's father dies. Doo Dook Kradon is the caretaker. Phayak gets the protective amulet from his father mouth and is aware how his father was killed. Meanwhile Cha is left as dead at the border. Following tortures to the head by thugs, he loses his memory and is now always drunk. Phayak decides to revenge his father. It is typical 1980s-decade movie when the main actor needs to seek revenge by himself as he cannot rely on Thai police. Khun Amnat uses bad influence and power to control the area (มีอำนาจ). Police believes him. Ruffians try to get rid of Phayak but Klam fails. Phayao sends a letter to meet her brother Phayak. Her brother is upset with her as she has a new husband (ผัว) just one day after their father died. Khun Amnat uses Cha to shoot Phayak but he survives thanks to the sacred amulet (ของดี). Phayak needs to flee as police now tries to catch him as he shot a few ruffians belonging to Amnat's team. Khun Amnat uses Phayao to convince her brother to surrender (มอบตัว) and uses Cha again to kill him. Phayao complains she has no more shelter (ไม่มีที่พึ่ง). It is a trick to steal his amulet. Menawhile Nuan's father is killed and Nuan is kidnapped. Phayak needs to face Cha in order to release Nuan. Hopefully Cha recovers his memory on time. Phayao knows now that Khun Amnat is a lier so she takes back the amulet and flees from his home but she is shot by him. As usual, bad guys are finally punished and Nuan is released. No extra judicial killing this time as Khun Amnat is handovered to the police. Thai people believe that sacred powerful Buddhist amulets from famous Buddhist monks can protect them during fighting. Such amulets were used by Thai soldiers during Vietnam war. Other Thai actions movies featuring Buddhist amulets protection are เสาร์ 5 (1976), ลำพูนดำ (1983), ลายพาดกลอน (1987), ลำพูนแดง (1988)...

The deity Ma Sing helps one worker, called Soda, attacked by a snake. To thank him, Allen promises to help him to find his daughter even if it is hard to believe it is a princess. Funny sequence occurs with Sompong watching two young naked ladies playing with water in a forest pond. A gorilla asks him to borrow his glasses to watch also. On the following morning, they split to look for the princess. Allen and Sompong go together but they are attacked by a rhinoceros and tiger. Ma Sing and Soda go together but they are attacked by small dragons (สัตว์ประหลาด). Soda is killed. The action is probably shot in Nan area as it features weird sand formation.

During World War 2, a man betrays his country (ขายชาติ) and even kills his wife Narinee as she refuses to keep silent. The father then disappears. His own daughter flees and is rescued by a young man called Boripat, who put her in a well off family. She is renamed Lamphap. A few years have passed. Lamphap (Suthisa Putnuch) is a beautiful grown up lady. Boripat plans to become deputy (ผู้แทน) in Phatalung province. Boripat and Lamphap love each other. Cheutchalao (Kaenjai Meenakanit), a jealous lady who wishes to marry Boripat, shows to Boripat’s mother a picture of Lamphap’s mother. Is it good that Boripat as a future deputy marry a country traitor? Following a night with Boripat, Lamphap flees away as she is ashamed of her background. Boripat looks for her. When he is aware of her parents’ background, he breaks up with her and finally marries Cheutchalao. Lamphap is followed by her father's bad reputation. Boripat has become a member of parliament. Cheutchalao introduces Khun Yousapong (Prachuap Ruekyamdee), who is a salesman, to Boripat. Boripat needs to pay back the funding he receives from him through some sales advantages with government projects. Boripat rejects and resigns as he refuses to betray his own principles. Cheutchalao is very upset as Yousapong is in fact her hidden lover. She even refuses to keep the child she is currently having with Boripat! Cheutchalao has an argument with Boripat’s mother causing her to fall from the stairs and dies. Boripat then indulged in alcohol and, being sick, decides to die in the place he met Lamphap the first time. He dies in her arms. Kenang is the child born of their brief union. Many years have passed. A young lady called Pen (Pawana Chanajit) stops by the village due to a flat tyre and is helped by Kenang (คนป้า). Pen is daughter of the salesman Yousapong. Salesman is still with stepmother (แม่เลี้ยง) Cheutchalao. Yousapong has always been concerned about money only (ไม่รู้ค่าความรัก). Pen dances on a show and displays her great dancing performing skills (รำไทย) to pay back his father as studies compensation. She gets a reward and wishes to offer it to Lamphap but Cheutchalao prevents her to do it as Lamphap is daughter of a country traitor (เป็นกรรม). Chatkalin, Lamphap’s second son (Choomporn Theppitak) doesn't want anybody to mention he is Lamhap's son anymore as he wished to marry Pen. He is in fact Boripat and Cheutchalao's son. Cheutchalao left the child in an orphanage and Lamphap, having pity, raised him. Well off people (ผู้ดี), having status, are seeing down poor people. As a revenge Kenang kidnaps Pen and brings her to a remote place near seaside. Chatkalin burns Lamphap's house as retaliation. Kenang, having finally freed Pen, arrives on time to save his mother. Following a fight with Chatkalin, a passer-by is shot. They all accuse Kenang. Lamphap chases everybody. A policeman offers her an opportunity to clean her name but she has to give information regarding the secret place where her traitor father and his team are hiding. After reaching the place in the mountain, Lamphap’s father wished to test her if she is not a spy. She shall kill her own son, Kenang, as he has been accused by Cheutchalao, Chatkalin and Yousapong of having killed the father’s own son, i.e. the passer-by. Only Pen defends Kenang. Lamphap has to do a sacrifice (เสียสละ), i.e. Kenang’s life against the four other lives (Cheutchalao, Chatkalin, Yousapong, Pen). Finally one of the ruffians revolts for the sake of his country preventing Lamphap to make an impossible choice. Bad characters are punished. Some episodes were cut in this Lepso VCD release, i.e. one episode where Sombat Methanee is singing and another climax episode when the ruffian forces the mother (Suthisa Putnuch) to shoot her own son (Sombat Methanee) but finally changes his mind. Sombat Methanee plays both the father Boripat and the son Kenang. This 1960s movie shows that faithfulness to country is more important that faithfulness to own family. It is typical of many 1960-1970s movies, which featured nationalist elements against the red communist threat. พญาโศก is a less known good movie from famous director Cherd Songsri. It also includes many references to the Thai royalty.

Pin Kaew (Kaenjai Meenakanit) is married to a teacher called Athit (Mitr Chaibancha). They have one son called Tuk. Athit is not rich, but the family is happy. Pin Kaew's father (Khun Phra - คุณพระ) had always been upset that his daughter married a poor man. Having found a new husband (Awut - อาวุธ)(Pramin Jarujareet) for his daughter, he kidnaps her and her son. Athit is severely beaten as he tries to oppose. Tuan (Sompol Kongsuwan)(น้องชายของอาวุธ) is having an affair with Khun Phra's daughter Pin Phet (ปิ่นเพชร). At nighttime, Tuan wishes to steal valuables from Khun Phra but domestic helper Khap (ขาบ) sees him. Awut, being drunk, is having a short affair with Khap, the lady taking care of Pin Kaew. While Tuan is exiting Pin Phet's room, he faces the father and stabs him. Meanwhile on the upper floor, Athit, looking for his wife and son, finds Pin Kaew and releases her and his son. While exiting the house, Pin Kaew sees her father's dead body and believes Athit killed him. Athit, despite not being the murderer, surrenders himself to the police knowing he will end up in jail. Pin Kaew marries Awut. Meanwhile Tuan stays with Khap as he is hoping to get money from his elder brother Awut. Khap bears an illegitimate child with Awut. Khap is pregnant, but still wishes to keep the child despite Tuan's pressure. Children do grow up. Pin Kaew and her new husband Awut had three kids including Plae (Metta Roongrat).

Aware of love starting between Care and Tuk, Plae is jealous and asks the brother to manage Care. Aware, Khaem helps Care and sends her back to their home. Plae uses Choomporn to harm Care. Hopefully Tuk is around and a fight erupts between Tuk and Choomporn. Pin Kaew uses broken glass to injure Choomporn. About to tell the truth to Tuk, she finally acts crazily. Plae kills Choomporn with another broken glass to avoid him talking. Care decides to quit this house to stay with her mother. Athit, having become crazy, takes refuge by hazard in Khap's house. He hides as Care arrives to stay with his mother. Tuan hits Khap again to ask for money. Athit helps, but gets knocked out by Tuan. Khaem chases Tuan again.

Tuan is finally defeated and Athit spares his life following the request of Pin Kaew. Tuk understands that Athit and Pin Kaew are his parents as Khap told him the truth.

Chat Krathing (ชาติกระทิง) is a 1966 Thai movie but only 6mn30 are left. Only a trailer is left. The whole movie is lost as it is a 16mm format reel so it was certainly shown until it became unusable. No movie summary is currently available. Only a commercial movie poster is left. This movie features four big stars, i.e. Sombat Methanee, Luechai Natnat, Petchara Chaowarat and Sopha Sataporn. They are together for the first time and for the only time. Some ruffians harass veteran comic Sukon Koewliam. So Petchara Chaowarat protects him by hitting one of the ruffians. On next sequence, the ruffians speed through a village but this time they face Sombat Methanee. Fist fights happen. Romance between two couples Sopha / Luechai and Sombat / Petchara happen. Famous director Phan Kam (พันคำ) is there again. Luechai is part of the fight party. Movies with him are hard to find as his fame period was during 1957-1960, just before Mitr Chaibancha golden period, and then between 1964-1972. Scenario is unknown but certainly good guys (Sombat and Luechai) are fighting against ruffians terrorizing a village. Even veteran actor Chinese Boo Wibunnan can be seen in the short trailer. Actors Joomjim Khemlek, Lor Tok, Preeya Roongrueng, Kwanta Buapliensri are also mentioned in the credits but unfortunately cannot be seen in the short trailer left.

Thai movie ฆ่ายัดกล่อง is based on a case, which is a real story and occurred in year 1965. Regarding the assassin, it was จรินทร์ สิทธิธรรม ฉายา “กระทิงแดง ศิษย์พระกาฬ”. The victim is teen กิมบั๊ก แซ่อึ้ง being 15 years old. He killed this teen and put the body in a box (ส่งศพมาทางรถไฟ) and throws it in a train going to Chiang Mai.

Pla Boo Tong (ปลาบู่ทอง) movie with Chaiya Suriyun and Pawana Chanajit was released in year 1965. The movie is lost in Thailand but a short extract was found in year 2013 thanks to a ThaiCine fan. The extract has still a colorful image and is only three minutes left. Other actors are Daonoi Duangjai, Preeya Roongrueng, Sukon Koewliam, Malee Wetpraseri, Somkuan Krajangsat, Wilaiwan Watthanaphanit and Sulaleewan Suwanthat (ป้า สุลาลีวัลย์ สุวรรณทัต) as a witch. The short extract shows a "kuman thong" child, the mother spirit imprisoned in a bird and Chaiya Suriyun and Pawana Chanajit together. Old still pictures of this last sequence can still be found. This story has been played many times through TV series and through movies (1965, 1972 from TV to cinema, 1979 with Lalana Sulawan, 1984 with Suriya, 1994). Certainly there is a need to find a more recent version in order to better understand this three minutes old trailer. In the past, such movies needed four people to perform the dubbing.
