Hollywood Movies With Crazy Thai Titles

» Have you been back to the cinema as yet? As I'm browsing through movies for my first flick to celebrate multiplexes reopening (I went with Shang-Chi because duh!), I can't help but notice the difference between Thai posters of Hollywood movies today compared to those from bygone years.

Here are a few Thai posters of Hollywood movies with crazy titles and taglines for your entertainment.
