Chocolate (new Thai action movie)

I've seen a lot of crazy 80s Hong Kong movies and more recent Thai movies where you watch it wondering how in the world these people weren't killing themselves while making the movie. This one might take the cake.

The movie is about an autistic girl doing her best Tony Jaa impression (literally, she learns to fight watching Bruce Lee and Tony Jaa movies) while fighting a whole bunch of mobsters to get money for her Mom's cancer treatment. But, the plot is pretty much irrelevant. Its a movie about a young Thai girl that trained for years to be in a movie where she beats the hell out of several hundred Thai stuntmen. And beat the hell out of them she does.

At some points you're cringing from the damage being inflicted on some of these people, only to see in the outtakes during the credits that a good chunk of that damage was actually real. People being carted off the set to the hospital, bones breaking, cuts, bruises, etc...

In short, highly entertaining movie if you like martial arts movies, but good lord, somebody come up with some safety standards for the Thai movie industry stat!

Here's a trailer:

It comes out on US DVD & Blu-Ray today BTW
 
Topic Summary: From the Director of Tony Jaa's Ong Bak & Tom Yum Goong


Those names sound like dishes. I could use some Kung-pao chicken right about now...

Tom Yum Goong IS a dish. Its a Thai soup.

Awesome. I loved the Tony Jaa movies. There was a plot though? 😕

Well, one was about finding his Buddha head. The other about finding his elephant...

And kicking people in the face.

BTW - Ong Bak 2 just came out in Thailand w/ Tony Jaa in it. Looking forward to that as well.
 
Man, she beat up half of Thailand. I fast forwarded a hell of a lot but it was entertaining anyways.

And it might as well be called something else as it is a completely different storyline.

I thought Tom Yung Goong was the sequel to Ong Bak?

EDIT:

And Hmm.. I think I saw this movie "available somewhere" but I never "got around to it." Maybe I'll buy the blu-ray off amazon, but chances are I won't watch it since I rarely watch stuff that isn't on my server 🙁.
