Lionsgate has dropped the official trailer for The Furious, an English-language Hong Kong action thriller directed by Japanese filmmaker, stunt performer, and action choreographer Kenji Tanigaki (Legend of Seven Monks, Enter the Fat Dragon). The film is scheduled for a U.S. release on May 29, 2026.
Tanigaki directed the film from a screenplay by Mak Tin Shu, Lei Zhilong, Shum Kwan Sin, and Frank Hui. It stars Xie Miao (Fight Against Evil, Eye for an Eye), Joe Taslim (The Raid: Redemption, The Night Comes For Us), Yang Enyou (Dead to Rights, Malice), Brian Le (Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Paper Tigers), and Joey Iwanaga (Enter the Fat Dragon, “Alice in Borderland”).
The film follows Wang Wei (Miao) after his daughter is kidnapped by a criminal network. When the police fail to help, Wei teams up with Navin (Taslim), a journalist whose wife has disappeared, to confront the kidnappers, engaging in a succession of martial arts confrontations.
The Furious premiered at the 50th Toronto International Film Festival in the Midnight Madness section on September 6, 2025. It also screened in competition at the 58th Sitges Film Festival and in the Midnight Passion section of the 30th Busan International Film Festival.
As of this writing, the film holds a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Early reviews include First Showing, whose reviewer declared the film to be “pure action cinema magic,” and JoBlo, who called it “a banger of a martial arts flick.” The new trailer showcases multiple intricate and intense action sequences that left us seriously impatient to get to experience what else the film has in store when it releases at the end of May.
Bill Kong, Shan Tam, and Frank Hui produced the film.
