Arriving on the international scene as part of the leading edge of the Thai film explosion of the late 90s and early 2000s, Yuthlert Sippapak may not have found the international success of contemporary directors Prachya Pinkaew, Pen-Ek Ratanaruang or Wisit Sasanatieng - his quirky and seemingly omnipresent sense of humor keeping him in a rather more limited box - but Sippapak has proven to be one of the most successful of the lot at home while building a loyal cult around the globe with his continuous genre mashups.

After his release, he learns for the first time he has a daughter "Dao".

Think of a country that would be most likely to come up with the oddball premise of a comedy movie revolving around the story of a gunman who kills for money to cure his erectile dysfunction, and you’d perhaps picked Japan? Nah, try Thailand. A new length trailer is out for Yuthlert Sippapak's (‘Buppha Rahtree’) latest creation Saturday Killer, which follows the bizarre exploits of “impotent” hitman Tee Rifle in his quest for cash, and the love of fellow hitwoman Chris Styer. From the looks of the trailer that love is somewhat unrequited, in fact we think it’s safe to say, she hates his guts. Saturday Killer opens in Thailand September 30th. Trail at the link.
