Gunman （Thai: มือปืน, or Mue puen, also known as The Sister-in-Law） is a 1983 Thai crime film directed by Chatrichalerm Yukol and starring Sorapong Chatree as an amputee assassin.
As the opening credits roll, the scene is from the point of a man on a motorcycle at night.
The man gets off the bike, walks into a coffee shop, shoots one of the patrons with a pistol and then gets back on the motorcycle.
The scene then cuts to various bystanders being interviewed about what the man looked like.
The descriptions vary wildly, except for one thing – the man walked with a limp.
The police are then on the lookout for anyone with a limp.
They arrest one man walking down the street carrying a briefcase.
In the struggle to apprehend the man, his briefcase comes open, spilling the contents – some sex toys – onto the sidewalk.
Because such items are illegal in Thailand, the man is arrested.
At a nearby newsstand, another man witnesses the arrest.
He turns and walks away – with a limp.
He is the gunman, and his name is Sergeant Sommai.
After losing a leg fighting for the Thai Special Forces during the Secret War in Laos, Sommai now works as a barber in a small shop in a canal community of suburban Bangkok.
One day Sommai is cutting hair, when his young son is attacked on a nearby footbridge by some neighborhood boys.
They are taunting the boy for having a one-legged father and no mother.
Sommai must leave the shop, making a customer angry, to attend to the boy.
After the neighborhood bullies are chased away, Sommai's son collapses and starts having some sort of seizure.
A local doctor is ill-equipped to treat the boy and recommends he be looked after at home.
