Website Impact Online wrote during production that Jailbreak "may well do to do for Cambodia what The Raid did for Indonesia". The film highlights the Cambodian martial art of bokator and also features slapstick humor. The cast features Dara Our, who had already played the male lead in Hanuman, Cambodian female MMA champion Tharoth Sam, French-Cambodian stuntman Jean-Paul Ly, and former adult star Céline Tran (AKA Katsuni), making her action film debut. Īfter finishing Hanuman, Henderson started to write an "ensemble action film" with the idea of keeping the action in one location.
His company, Kongchak Pictures, produced in 2013 the horror film Run, and in 2015 the action thriller Hanuman, the latter being directed by Italian expatriate Jimmy Henderson.
Jailbreak is part of an effort by French-Cambodian producer Loy Te to revitalize Cambodian cinema by proposing different genres than the usual romantic comedies and ghost stories. Meanwhile, Madame Butterfly and her henchwomen come to the prison in order to finish the job themselves. The police officers, who were on their way out of the prison as the riot began, have to fight against the inmates to save their lives and protect their key witness. This sparks a riot in the jail, with all the prisoners trying to get their hands on Playboy. The gang's real leader, Madame Butterfly ( Céline Tran), informed that Playboy is about to squeal, puts a bounty on her accomplice's head. The mobster reveals that he is not the gang's true boss, and promises to deliver information about his employer. Three local cops (Dara Our, Tharoth Sam and Dara Phang), and a French-Cambodian police officer on an exchange scheme (Jean-Paul Ly), escort Playboy to prison.
The Cambodian police arrests a mobster known as Playboy (Savin Phillip), whom they assume to be the leader of the notorious Butterfly gang. It was released in its home country in January 2017 and made available on Netflix in May 2018. 'Protect Criminals') is a 2017 Cambodian action film directed by Jimmy Henderson.
