Les trottoirs de Bangkok (English: The Sidewalks of Bangkok, also known as Bangkok Interdit) is a 1984 French erotic thriller film directed by Jean Rollin. The film was inspired by the 1932 Boris Karloff film The Mask of Fu Manchu. The film was released in France on 24 October 1984 by Cyrile Distribution. Hubert Toyot worked as a cameraman in this film.
In contrast to Rollin's usual themes of vampires, dream-like atmosphere and crumbling châteaus, Les Trottoirs des Bangkok mixes themes of adventure, crime and mystery with comic book dialogue, while still featuring naked women and sex, which his films were known for.
