Chocolate

This is a Thai martial arts movie from the people that did Ong-Bak and The Protector (my nephew recommended this one to me). Girl raises a “special needs” child. The bad guys have warned her and her lover that they need to stay away or they’ll get her. And they get her… and cut off her big toe. Watching it with the English voices overdubbed is hilarious mostly because of a guy playing the part of the girl on the bad guy team. Sounds like David Cross playing a woman. So the special needs girl watches this martial arts training camp all day. She learns some serious skills. And when you overdub a special needs kid’s voice in English, it turns out hilarious as well (sorry to be non-PC). The sped girl’s friend find a book with amount of money people owe sped girl’s mom. The sped girl and her friend go and start collecting the money that is owed to the mother. The girl starts messing people up real bad. They work their way up the bad-guy ladder and eventually are forced to fight the big bosses of the crime underworld. The scenes are shot with almost no special effects, so make sure you watch the closing credits. They show sort of behind the scenes things and see them actually getting seriously injured during the shooting. It’s pretty impressive. This movie is worth a watch.
