The Furious Is An All Time Action Classic

Overview

The video is a hype review of The Furious, described as an extreme throwback to the relentless, stylized kung fu action seen in The Raid and classic martial-arts films. The reviewer calls it “possibly the most insane action film” they’ve ever seen, emphasizing that the movie never slows down—powered by:

• Bone-cracking sound design
• Constant blood-and-thrash combat
• Fight scenes that can last around 15 minutes

Main Plot (As Described)

• The story follows a Chinese mute handyman/dad whose daughter is kidnapped by a child trafficking ring.
• After his daughter is taken, he launches a hellbent rampage, attempting to track down everyone involved.
• In parallel:
  • A reporter uncovers the ring early.
  • An undercover cop is also investigating.
• Their efforts overlap like a video game, culminating in a team-up where the film’s two “sides” become a kung fu-powered two-headed monster aimed at dismantling the trafficking network.

Why the Fights Stand Out

The reviewer compares the intensity to other famously brutal sequences—especially stairwell-style intensity referenced from Oldboy—arguing that The Furious stretches that nonstop energy for hours.

They praise the choreography as uniquely immersive and unmatched, with camera work that makes you feel like:

• You’re flying around the fights like drone footage
• You’re up close and personal with graphic violence
• You’re watching video game-style set pieces, where:
  • Locations “progress” like levels
  • Enemies act like “bosses”
  • Arenas feel like stages

They also highlight a recurring boss battle structure: fighters keep returning in different contexts, sometimes landing big finisher-style moves.

Jokes / Standout Commentary

The reviewer frames the film as campy and over-the-top—so intense it feels like a Street Fighter / Bloody Roar experience. They point out a “superman endurance” vibe where almost nobody ever dies, despite constant brutality.

They also include a joke along the lines of “Bruce Lee stands no chance”, to emphasize the movie’s world where everyone is an expert in kung fu.

For a technical nitpick, they compare the English dubbing/lip-sync weirdness to MXC—suggesting the mismatch can sometimes feel intentionally off.

Key Reaction + Minor Complaint

• Overall reaction: Highly recommended Not for realism, but because it’s executed with such dedication and intensity that it wins you over fast.

• Main drawback: English dialogue that doesn’t quite match characters’ mouths/acting (with suspicion of ADR/AI), plus a few moments where lip-sync looks clearly off.

• Proposed fix/hope: watch a version with subtitles.
