I just finished watching Chocolate and wow; that was damn excellent!!

I've watched a lot of martial arts films before, but this one had such an intriguing, interesting story, I just couldn't stop loving it from beginning to end. I wish I could buy/download the soundtrack from somewhere, too. It's phenomenal! Chocolate was a definite surprise and a definite win.

It was a great film, man. About a Thai woman and a Japanese man in rival gangs who fall in love with each. The leader of the Thai threatens their lives because he "owns" the woman, but the two ignore it until she finds out later that she's pregnant. That's when she decides to go her own way and have the child on her own. The little girl ends up being autistic and watches the martial arts classes next door and mimics them. Then she starts to watch Tony Jaa and Bruce Lee films and learns how to fight like them. That leads to her growing up and defending her mother against the Thai leader and his gangs. It was a great action flick with a truly unique story. I highly recommend it!

I loved the kung fu scene between Judi Dench and Juliette Binoche!

That was a great scene! I never knew Dench was so flexible.

It's a shame all of Dench's big fight scenes have been cut from the last bunch of James Bond flicks!

I personally dont think its that good (Each to there own i know ). Nothing compared to the likes of SPL and killzone (Granted there not female leads)

Raging Pheonix is another with a female lead. Naked Weapon Also

Kill Zone was an awesome film! I just really enjoyed this one because of its innovative storyline. It was really emotional and like nothing that I was expecting to see.

This movie kicks ass, The girl does all her own stunts, The fight scenes are just outstanding. Buy the Blu-Ray & check out the special features.
