A homage and parody of 1950s and 1960s Thai romantic melodramas and action films. Dum, the son of a peasant falls in love with Rumpoey, the daughter of a wealthy and respected family. The star-crossed lovers are torn apart for years, but their forbidden love survives. When tragedy strikes, Dum unleashes his rage and becomes the gun-slinging outlaw the “Black Tiger” who will stop at nothing to seek his revenge.

Both an homage to, and parody of, the classic western, Tears of the Black Tiger is just crazy fun!
It feels like a blend of a Republic serial, every classic western you ever saw, and a foreign soap opera, as filmed by a Thai Guy Maddin.
I’d love to see a better print than what’s on Netflix Instant Watch. I have a feeling the garish colorization and sets would stand out even better.
I particularly enjoyed the over-the-top gun violence.
