History Film / Chocolate

* AgonyOfTheFeet - Zin's boss shoots himself in the foot, ostensibly to hurt Zin somehow. [[spoiler:He later cuts one of Zin's toes off.]]

* EverythingsBetterWithChocolate: Zen loves it. At one point the gangsters [[{{Squick}} use it against her]].

<<|{{Film}}|>>

A Thai woman falls in love with a Japanese gangster, but they part ways after her employers disapprove... with violence. A few months after the split, she gives birth to Zen, a girl with autism. Said autism allows Zen to master martial arts moves by watching them. She also enjoys chocolate, thus the title.

* ActionGirl

* NonActionGuy - Averted, Moom actually holds his own in the fight scenes he's in.

* AgonyOfTheFeet - Zin's boss is shot in the foot. [[spoiler:He later cuts one of Zin's toes off.]]

* TheBladeAlwaysLandsPointyEndIn- Played straight many times in the butchershop fight, but notably subverted at one point. Zen deflects a thrown knife at a mook who was already victim to this trope. You see his face and reaction when he's hit... then the camera pans downward and it turns out it merely slapped him with the side of the blade.

* ImportantHaircut: Zen cuts off her beautiful long hair after she finds out her mother is going bald from chemotherapy.

* MixedAncestry

* RealityIsUnrealistic - Zen's WaifFu moves look like they shouldn't pack that much weight... until you see the HilariousOuttakes and you see that when he blows hit the stuntmen, they do some serious damage.

[[quoteright:337:Unfortunately, this is one conflict that isn't gonna be solved with diplomacy.]]

A Thai woman falls in love with a Japanese gangster, but they part ways after her employers disapprove... with violence. A few months after the split, she gives birth to Zen, a girl with autism. Said autism allows Zen to master martial arts moves by watching them. She's also obsessed with chocolate, thus the title.

* RealityEnsues - Subverted. Mooks swarm into the room with katanas drawn, and it looks like it's going to be an epic sword fight between them and Zen's father, until [[spoiler:[[CombatPragmatist he pulls a gun and empties into their ranks]].]] For the DoubleSubversion, he grabs a blade of his own and fights the rest traditionally.

* SweetTooth - Zen it's why the movie is named what it's named.

When Zen's in her teenage years, her mother gets cancer and needs money for treatment. Zen's friend (and occasional caretaker) Moom finds a black book listing everyone who owes her mother money. They head out to reclaim it... with violence.

* WaifFu - Done well for the most part. Zen has to build up momentum be able to knock back her opponents more than a few inches.

When Zen's in her teenage years, her mother gets cancer and needs money for treatment. Zen's friend (and occasional caretaker) Moom finds a black book listing everyone who owes her mother money. They go out to get it... with violence.

Unfortunately, those people are with the same criminals that split up Zen's parents...
