What happens

Siamesisk boksning er en film instrueret af Hakon Mielche. I Siam må bokserne bruge både arme og ben, hænder og albuer. Nakkeslag er tilladt. Bokserne beder først om gudernes hjælp, og under hele kampen spiller et orkester. Musikken følger kampens tempo og dramatik. Hver omgang er på tre minutter, og to sekundanter tager sig af bokserne, som næsten aller er professionelle. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
