Kung Fu Zohra is a 2022 French film directed and written by Mabrouk El Mechri (JCVD, The Cold Light Of Day).Zohra (Sabrina Ouazani), an Algerian woman, marries Omar (Ramzy Bedia) and follows him to France. They soon have a daughter, Zina. Over time, Omar grows increasingly frustrated by his own life and becomes increasingly violent towards Zohra, but she can't bring herself to demand divorce as she thinks Zina will suffer from it, and she doesn't listen to her best friend's advices. Then, one day, Zohra meets a Chinese kung fu master.

Control Freak: After quitting his job, Omar visits Zohra more and more at her job to make sure there's no man around her or that she doesn't look at other men.

An Immigrant's Tale: Zohra moved from Algeria to France, although she has no integration issue in French society, nor seems to face racism. The main issue is her husband's Domestic Abuse.

In-Universe Factoid Failure: While small-talking Zohra to seduce her in Algeria, Omar pretends Jackie Chan was in Enter the Dragon. Zohra thinks he mistakes Chan for Bruce Lee, seemingly thinking Chan was not in the film, but Omar is factually correct, Chan did have a cameo in it.

Blatant Lies: Zohra tells increasingly improbable medical condition lies to her friend Binta about her swollen eyelids and cheeks. Binta knows all too well it's because of Domestic Abuse and tries to convince Zohra to accept her offer to bring some of her cousins from Africa to beat up Omar into stopping his violent ways, to no avail.

What the Fu Are You Doing?: While looking for self-defense videos on the Internet, Zohra looks at hilariously bad "methods" that endanger the person more than they help. Omar makes increasingly incoherent pseudo-Ass Kicking Poses as Zohra overpowers him in the climactic fight.

Taught by Television: Zohra learned French watching French movies such as those of Jean-Paul Belmondo or La Vérité si je mens!. Whether or not the Hong Kong Films she had at her home in Algeria are dubbed is not specified. Subverted with the self-defense lessons Zohra follows on the Internet. Her practice with the Chinese master produces much better results.
