Wikipedia article




'Kung Fu Tootsie' ( or 'Tat soo foot') is a 2007 Thai action-comedy film written and directed by Jaturong Mokjok.

Title



The English title of the film is an allusion to the 1982 American comedy film 'Tootsie'. A Thai slang term for transvestite or effeminate man, 'toot' (), comes from the first syllable of 'Tootsie'. The Thai name of the film, 'Tat soo foot' is a Thai spoonerism for 'toot soo fat', which translates roughly as "butt-kicking sissy".

Plot



'Kung Fu Tootsie' is set in Hong Kong, the story of Tien and Tao, twins separated at birth. When Tao, living with his wealthy mafioso father, Ma Yong Hai, is mutilated by a rival gang, Ma must find his lost son Tien, living in poverty with his mother, to become the next head of the family.

Antics ensue, however, when Tien turns out to be more 'Sonny and Cher' than 'Sonny Corleone'.
