Interesting facts

Jailbreak is a 2017 Cambodian action film directed by Jimmy Henderson. It was released in Cambodia in January 2017 and made available on Netflix in May 2018.

Production

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. 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.

After finishing Hanuman, Henderson started to write an "ensemble action film" with the idea of keeping the action in one location. 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.
