Enter The Dragon (1973)


































  A young kung fu master agrees to work with the C.I.A and is sent on a private island owned by a crime lord. There, he will take part in the martial arts championship but also spy on the illegal activities that take part on the island...
  It's really something when a martial arts film is not just an excuse for showing off the actor's skills. That is the case here! A somewhat classic story without many cliches that hits all the right spots for film lovers. Robert Clouse made sure he also put the right elements of exploitation so this film practically is all a man can need ; ass-kicking, good vs. evil, some hot chicks and some more ass-whooping.
  Bruce Lee is undoubtedly one of the best martial artist to hit the big screen. He made historical changes in the way the western world sees martial arts and planted a fighter worm in everyone who watched his films. All of his expertise and chi has given him an extra cocky attitude that is obvious in his acting. Maybe too cocky, if you ask me but anyway. John Saxon and Jim Kelly are also great (in the same league of actors as  Lee) and especially Kelly, who combines jumping style fighting and street gangsta swag.
Must watch this :  together with your kung fu master and your clan of devoted warriors.

Chocolate (2008)


































  Zin falls in love with Yakuza boss Masashi but they separated by force. Zin gives birth to his child, the autistic Zen. Zen becomes infatuated with martial arts and turns out to be quite the martial arts expert. When Zen's mother gets cancer, she has to find a way to collect money. So, withe the help of her friend Moom, Zen goes out to collect anything she can get from those who owe to her mother.
  Coming from miles away from the western world, where martial arts movies are as real as they get, Chocolate is a real treat for the eye. Directed by Prachya Pinkaew, a well-established Thai director of the genre, this movie is filled up to the neck with impressive TaeKwonDo and other martial arts stunts while delivering a mild dose of drama. A weird combination but it definitely pays out in the end.
  Yanin Vismitananda stars in this movie and Taphon Phopwandee is her not-so-bright-but-ok sidekick who helps her on the difficult task of collecting dirty debt money while battling with her insecurities. Yanin is an impressive TaeKwonDo-ka wo does not fail to perform equally good as an actor. Her portrayal of the autistic girl is actually quite good
Must watch this :on a random summer day. Prepare yourself a hefty bowl of Thai noodles with vegetables (or just order out), pour some low-quality Coca Cola knock-off and enjoy this with your friends. Then, try to do everything you saw and miserably come to fact that you can't.
