Raging Phoenix

Plot

Deu (Jija Yanin) is rescued from an abduction attempt by three masters of drunken martial arts—'Dog Shit', 'Pig Shit', and Sanim. She persuades them to train her in their style and learns they are united against the Jaguar Gang, which kidnaps 'special' young women. Deu falls for Sanim during training but discovers he is still in love with Pai, his fiancée abducted by the gang three years ago on their wedding day. After rescuing several women, Deu is tested by a hidden fourth member, 'Bull Shit'.

She learns the Jaguar Gang abducts women with a particular 'smell'—which Deu possesses—to produce a perfume, and that her martial art relies not on drunkenness but on emotional pain. Kee Ma (Dog Shit), a 'Sniffer', can detect the scent. Deu is used as a decoy but is abducted before the team can locate the hideout. Drugged, she escapes and discovers the gang extracts a chemical from the women's tears that improves health.

She breaks vials of tears, allowing Kee Ma to smell the trail and lead the team into the hideout for a large battle. Sanim tries to take Deu away but finds Pai instead. The gang leader, London (Roongtawan Jindasing), corners them near rope bridges. Sanim sacrifices himself by letting go of Deu's hand to save Pai.

London recovers and takes both Deu and Pai to where the rest of the team is being beaten. Using the pain of Sanim's death, Deu rouses herself and defeats London and two other members.

Martial art

The film's fictional martial art, เมรัยยุทธ (Meyraiyuth), is described in the trailer as a 'dance that kills'. It takes techniques from B-Boy battles and transforms them into killing moves, and is compared favorably to Chinese Drunken Fist as a form of 'Drunken Muay Thai'. The choreography also draws heavily from breakdancing, drunken boxing, Muay Thai, and the Afro-Brazilian martial art Capoeira.
