This low-budget, digital film is a spoof of Thai films from the 1960s and '70s, particularly the musicals and action films of megastars Mitr Chaibancha and Petchara Chaowarat.
"The Adventure of Iron Pussy” was originally an underground video project series portraying a crime-busting heroine who was once a-go-go boy. 'Iron Pussy' is one of the personas of famed Thai performance artist, Michael Shaowanasai, whose works directly criticize and satirize the Thai sex industry and the art industry at the same time.
Enhancing the retro look and feel of the film, the soundtrack is entirely dubbed, which was the standard practice with 16-mm production in Thailand. Many of the voice actors who worked on Iron Pussy are veterans from the earlier era and are well-known to Thais. The dubbing allows Iron Pussy's transformation from her male alter ego to her female superhero personality to be even more complete, because a male actor dubbed the man's voice and female actresses dubbed Iron Pussy's voice and sang her songs.This is a wild cult classic that is a must for any cinephile.
