When it comes to action cinema, fight choreography can make or break a film. Some movies treat it as an afterthought, while others build the entire experience around it. The Furious falls firmly into the latter category, and its critical acclaim proves it. With a 97% critics score and a 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, this martial arts powerhouse has outperformed even the beloved John Wick (85% critics score). Now, fans can bring the adrenaline home in stunning 4K.
Directed by Kenji Tanigaki, whose action credentials include SPL and Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, The Furious boasts an ensemble cast that knows how to throw down. Xie Miao, who started acting opposite Jet Li as a child, leads the charge alongside Joe Taslim, bringing his elite judo and The Raid experience to the screen. The supporting cast includes Yayan Ruhian, JeeJa Yanin, Brian Le, and Joey Iwanaga, ensuring every fight scene is a masterclass in martial arts.
Lionsgate, the film's distributor, has announced a special 4K Collector's Edition that will hit shelves on August 11, 2026. Priced at $29.99, this two-disc set is available exclusively through Lionsgate Limited's store. It includes the 113-minute, R-rated film on a 100GB 4K UHD disc and a standard Blu-ray, plus a digital copy for U.S. buyers. The presentation retains the original 2.39:1 widescreen aspect ratio, with Dolby Vision and an English Dolby Atmos track—essential upgrades for a film that tracks multiple fighters in wide shots and makes every impact audible.
The collector's edition is packed with extras that dive deep into the making of this action gem. Highlights include A Storm of Carnage: Creating The Furious, a featurette dedicated to the film's epic Five-Man Brawl, deleted scenes, the theatrical trailer, reversible artwork by Khang Giate and Vincent Aseo, and a booklet featuring an essay by critic Priscilla Page. For fans who appreciate the craft behind the chaos, these bonus features offer a behind-the-scenes look at the meticulous choreography.
Despite a modest box office run—earning $39.75 million worldwide against a $20 million budget—The Furious has found a devoted audience. The quick turnaround for this collector's edition, just two months after its theatrical release, shows that Lionsgate is banking on the film's strong word-of-mouth. It's a smart move, especially for a movie that has been praised as one of the best action films in recent memory.
The plot follows a mute Chinese father and a tenacious journalist who team up to rescue an abducted daughter and a missing wife from a criminal network, after corrupt police refuse to help. The action sequences are intense, with one final fight reportedly rehearsed for three months and shot over 18 days. That dedication is evident in every punch, throw, and improvised weapon, making the extras a treasure trove for cinephiles.
If you're a fan of action masterpieces that redefine the genre, this 4K release is a must-have. And for those who love thrillers that keep you on edge, The Furious delivers. Mark your calendars for August 11, 2026, and get ready to experience the fury in glorious 4K.
