Cha Cha) in the lead dramatic role, with Somchai Kemglad—the heroic lead from Killer Tattoo—as the comedy relief. His horror films, Buppah Rahtree (containing references and homages to The Exorcist and Audition) and the sequel Buppah Rahtree Phase 2: Rahtree Returns as well as Krasue Valentine all feature heavy doses of comedy, but also have significant dramatic elements. Not all his films have been comedies. His second film, February was a romance about a Thai woman with a terminal illness who goes to New York City, is hit by a car and then develops amnesia, forgetting that she's in need of medical care. He's faced controversy over casting Sayan Muangcharoen, a Thai comedian with Down syndrome in his films. However, Sayan is a popular staple in other Thai films and on television comedy variety shows. Yuthlert often makes in jokes and references to his own films. In Sai Lor Fah, a character is encouraged to be just like "Kit Silencer", the lead character from Killer Tattoo. Also, a character in Sai Lor Fah was trying to buy an unlicensed DVD of Buppah Rahtree 3, a sequel that hasn't been made. In Ghost Variety, a film directed by Adirek Wattaleela (a producing partner and character actor in Yuthlert's films), Yuthlert had a cameo (as did dozens of other Thai filmmakers). The characters in Ghost Variety burst into what they thought was a haunted house, but turned out to be a movie set of Buppah Rahtree 3. His latest film, 2006's Krasue Valentine contained a number of references to his Buppah Rahtree films, the most visible of which was a bumbling pair of police officers (one portrayed by Adirek Wattaleela) that appeared in both Buppah Rahtree installments. Future projects Since Krasue Valentine, Yuthlert has been tied to a number of upcoming projects. One was a horror film, Mia Ngoo (The Snake's Wife), and the other was about a band of disabled martial arts warriors called Kode Mahagan. The latest project mentioned is Ghost Station, a comedy about a pair of gay men that appears to be a parody of Brokeback Mountain.
