Chocolate -- Directed by Prachya Pinkaew

This is the trailer for the upcoming film by Prichya Pinkaew, the director of Ong Bak and Tom Yum Goong, without Tony Jaa.
I like the trailer and the little homage to Bruce Lee.

It would have been Tony Jaa before his falling out with the director.

Looks a little rough .. but could be a lot of fun! Not for those stunt men though!! Ouch. Been looking forward to a release of this ever since I caught news on Twitch over a year ago.

Since Jaa isn't returning as fight choreographer, are any others of the original team that worked on Ong Bak?

Are Judi Dench and Binoche doing their own stunts?

The trailer with English subtitles.

Key words, "English subtitles"!!! That could be very welcoming news indeed. I'd hate to have to buy the first release as a 2 Disc (film split between) VCD without subs as with Ong Bak.

The VCD did have subs. The 1st DVD release did not. I'm referring to the HK releases.

Thanks for the correction. I have no idea why I was thinking that.

Just finished watching this movie. Although the movie plot is average at best, it makes up for its phenomenal fighting sequences. However, the last fight sequence was "borrowed" from Kill Bill IMHO.
Nicharee “Jeeja” Vismistananda was great in her lead role and hopefully she'll star in more movies (you have to see the end to watch all of the pain she and the stunt men went through to film this movie).

Like all of the little nods to Tony Jaa throughout the movie.

I don't know why but I was thinking of Donkey Kong during that whole sequence.
