Diana Lee Inosanto (born May 29, 1973) is a Filipino American actress, stuntwoman, and world class martial artist.
Movie Review:
The Sensei: a not-so slick, not-so hollywood martial arts film. But, then again, that's its charm.

Directed by and starring Diana Lee Inosanto.

Description: Boy meets girl... karate instructor! It would basicly be Karate Kid in reverse except for its sensitive approach to Hate Crimes. It's obvious that a woman was involved in the making.

Definitely worth the watch. Just wish there were more fight scenes. Diana was amazing. Surprised I know so little about her, even though the Inosanto name is well-known in the martial arts world.

One of the things I loved about this movie (but also found a little creepy) was its period feel. I lived through the 80's and 90's and it seems as if it was actually filmed then... not 2008. Check it out.
