this is actually a parody of the movie "the last samurai", filmed in thailand. The japanese have been replaced by the Akhas, a thailand tribe. The very brief and not-well-filmed quick battle part is supposed to be the part where the main character gets captured by the Akha tribe (corresponding to tom Cruise's capture in the forest scene of the last samurai)

The Queen's Royal Project at the mountain at Hooh Yoh Akha took 8,000 rai of land, the entire agricultural land base of five villages, and 1500 Akha people. Thai diplomats at the UN tried to distort this as action of the the Thai army. We wish it was so, but the project is clearly marked as one of the Queen's projects. We have asked and campaigned for the return of this land.
