I personally preferred this movie over Ong-Bak and The Protector, I think mainly because I prefer to see a woman kick ass (and head, and knee, and chest, etc.). They do use wires (actually, cables) in this movie, but they'd be crazy not to during the fight on the side of the building. The woman fighter looks really young. I couldn't tell if she used a stunt double at any time. She makes it cool to be autistic; the heroine character could be a role model for autism. (I hope I'm not getting myself in trouble again with political incorrectness.) I never thought I would be impressed with a martial arts film again after Hero and House of Flying Daggers, but Chocolate was really entertaining. The cheesy sound effects help, I think. The movie has the best fight scene with kids that I've ever seen. I'd love to see her take on those UFC wimps like the Gracies from Brazil.

It’s filled with slow-motion wire-fu. I’d rather watch The Matrix, at least it has high production values." Man, if you want to watch some Yuen Wo-Ping wire-fu insanity, The Matrix is the last place to look. High production values mean nothing without actors who actually know how to move. “What looks real about this? It’s filled with slow-motion wire-fu.

From watching the special features for The Protector, I'm pretty sure they're are no wires. The helicopter scene was just a 20 foot drop or something onto a soft landing surface; through the window was shot separately. Editing, woo! The Asian and North American releases for these films (Ong-Bak and The Protector) are somewhat different. They show all the same stuff, but the Asian release has cheesy sound effects. On the other hand, the North American release generally has a really crappy soundtrack, filled with industrial/rapcore stuff. That’s the scene alright.

She is no Carrie-Anne Moss and it looks like this lady has the chops to do alot of the Jackie Chan-esque sequences. Not having Tony Jaa in the movie sucks. From what I've read, there was some wire work in Ong-Bak and there were little in The Protector(Helicopter scene comes to mind). I didn't think the trailer showed any wirework. I've seen Tony Jaa pull this off this crazy stuff in the several movies I saw him in. One of the reasons I love kung-fu movies is that I love watching people who are born to fight fighting than actors trying to fight. Matt, I'm sure your talking about the spiral staircase scene, right? One of the greatest 1vs.many scenes ever. The woman was a former Muay Thai kickboxer.

The one at around 2:30 looks especially 'floaty'. Having re-watched the trailer to find this point I have to say that the bowl of candy is a nice touch. Reminded me of the classic ending of The Three Ninjas. But another thing that definitely makes it seem completely fake is the extreme sound effects. It sounds like a Bud Spencer/Terrence Hill soundtrack. I thought some of the jumps looked alot like there was wires involved. The one at around 2:30 looks especially ‘floaty’.

Not just with fighting but the action scenes in general are great. There's one fight sequence, that lasts around 6 or 7 minutes, that is all one shot. Crazy! Yes the fight scenes are full contact, but the stunt people wear protective pads under their shirts, and use other little tricks to soften the blows or make them look more intense. I'm down for this.

Its a bit boring for the first hour but once it skips to the fight sequences they are awesome, and I have to disagree I think jackie chans fight team have been putting crazy stunts together for years that are just as bad as anything in that trailer, but ill bet his fight team get away with a lower percentage of stunts to accidents ratio then most any other fight teams.
