In addition to the famous action films such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, IP Man, The Raid... Asia has a lot of other top-notch martial arts movies that few people know about.
The Villainess (2017)
Having a female protagonist in action movies is a very popular trend, especially when feminism is a matter of great interest nowadays. This is the second action film directed by Jung Byung-gi. The film tells the tragic story of an assassin named Sook-hee. After finding out she was just a puppet of her lover, and being dragged into a mess of the Korean Intelligence Agency, Sook-hee goes crazy and gives it all back to those who have made her life tragic. In this list, The Villainess has the most special filming techniques, especially the fight scenes on motorbikes and the impressive long take at the beginning.
Hard Revenge Milly (2009)
Milly is a wife who lost her entire family after being attacked by a group of thugs. She was filled with hatred and the only way to make her feel peaceful was to take down the entire bloodthirsty gang. The film is divided into two parts but the total duration is only about 2 hours. The first part is completely focused on Milly's revenge, while the second part adds two new characters that create an unexpected stimulus for the story. Actress Miki Mizuno, who plays Milly, absolutely makes viewers have to keep their eyes on the screen. The film is also helmed by director Yoshihiro Nishimura, who has a lot of experience in making violent action movies, so you can clearly see his brutal style in each fight scene.
Deadman Inferno (2015)
A Yakuza (a type of criminal) was released and is determined to rebuild his life with his lover. Suddenly a virus broke out on the island where his lover was hanging out on and turned all the island residents into zombies. So, it's time for him to use all his skills from the Yakuza era to protect her life. This is a very funny zombie movie. The zombies are somewhat similar to those in I Am A Hero, but that the main characters would fight with them instead of using guns. Fights happen everywhere in the film, and most characters know martial arts. This is a good action movie to entertain you on the weekend.
Chocolate (2008)
Chocolate tells the story of an autistic girl named Zen, the daughter of a Japanese businessman and Anna - the lover of a powerful tycoon in Thailand. She possessed the special ability to learn martial arts very quickly, so she and her adopted brother - Moom - went together to collect debts from gangsters to gather money for their mother's cancer treatment. However, the powerful tycoon in Thailand was released after years of imprisonment and decided to take revenge on Zen. The success of the film largely comes from actress JeeJa Yanin, who has a young, lovely appearance but is able to perform a lot of beautiful, strong and authentic martial arts.
