Thai film director Kom Akkadej managed to perform a real coup by getting two of the legends of Hong Kong action cinema, Norman Tsui Siu Keung and David Chiang Dai Wai of the Shaw Brothers studio to star in this film.
A young Hmong girl becomes a love interest for a hero played by Sorapong Chatree in one of his dozens of ethnic roles. When she isn't romping through grassy mountain meadows like Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music, she's somersaulting and flip-flopping around, mowing down bad guys.
A gangster wants to pull a bank heist, so he coerces some acquaintances into helping him. Meanwhile, a cop is searching for a means to bring down said gangster, who has always eluded arrest. The gangster's beautiful girlfriend, who's become a junkie under the gangster's nefarious influence, is smitten with the cop -- unaware of his profession and true motive for befriending her. Then there's a bunch of street fighting, some knives and guns, a guy who climbs over the edge of a high-rise, the same guy hanging out of the window of a speeding bus who then jumps from the bus to some hot chick's Jag, lots of striped clothing, and a red and black Toyota Celica. The film was later dubbed in English and released by Champion International Films Co LTD as "Billion Killers".
In order to really see justice done, Mai (Sombat Metanee) leave his work as a lawman, and funds his activities with some thievery of his own. Many elephants serve as co-stars in the action, as he achieves supremacy in crime but cannot escape his status as a wanted man. Eventually, pursued by criminals and the police alike, he takes his wife and children to Cambodia.
