ONG BAK WITH A VAGINA. AND AUTISM.

02.02.09 Written by Vince Mancini

Chocolate comes from Ong Bak director Prachya Pinkaew, and as we’ve already established “A SPECIAL NEEDS GIRL… WITH A NEED… TO KICK SOME ASS,” is one of the greatest taglines ever written.  The latest news is that it’s getting a limited theatrical run beginning this Friday.  Here’s where you’ll need to move to see it:

Boulder, CO: International Film Series
Denver, CO: Esquire Theatre
New York, NY: Sunshine Cinema
Austin, TX: Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar
Dallas, TX: Inwood Theatre
Seattle, WA: Egyptian Theatre

…unless you just want to wait four more days until it comes out on DVD (February 10th). Me, I hate waiting. That’s why I throw things around the room and scream and bite myself or recite pi to the 1000th digit until I get my way.

GRRR, AUTISTIC MUAY THAI!

Chocolate comes from Ong Bak director Prachya Pinkaew, and though it doesn’t have Tony Jaa, it does have two of the best title card sequences I’ve ever seen:

From the bloodline of the yakuza… and the womb of a dangerous beauty

Which reminds me of a joke:  What’s the difference between a Cadillac El Dorado and the womb of a dangerous beauty?  …Nevermind.  Anyway, I thought they’d never top that one, but then they busted out:

A special-needs girl… with a need… to kick some ass!

Best. Tagline. Ever.  It doesn’t appear to have a date set for a theatrical release in the U.S., but it looks like you can already buy the DVD. It’s called Chocolate, or alternately Fury.  Coincidentally, Chocolate Fury was my nickname in high school.
