Chocolate
Why this pick
From The Kick’s director, this delivers the same crisp, physical Thai fight choreography and a warm, accessible emotional core, though with a more focused lead performance.

04
Born to Fight
Why this pick
It shares the Thai stunt-driven sensibility and inventive use of athletic abilities in combat, but trades The Kick’s family warmth for relentless, rougher action.

The Protector
Why this pick

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Mun is a taekwondo master running an old taekwondo gym in Bangkok. All five members of his family are also taekwondo exponents, each of whom infuses the art with a particular skill: his wife Mija in cooking style, son Taeyang in dancing style, daughter Taemi in soccer style, and the youngest, Typhoon, can break anything with his strong forehead.
