Front cover of Furious [Visual Vengeance Collector's Edition] [Blu-ray] | peakbooks.shop
Furious Blu-ray makes its long-overdue debut in this Visual Vengeance Collector’s Edition, finally unleashing one of the strangest and most ambitious no-budget martial arts films of the 1980s onto disc. Simon, a fierce kung fu master, descends into the city’s grimy underworld in search of answers surrounding his sister’s mysterious death. There, he’s manipulated by a deceptive spiritual master with designs on an ancient amulet — a scheme that pulls Simon into a reality-shattering conflict far beyond anything he expects.
 
As the truth unravels, Furious explodes into a delirious assault of fists, feet and pure home-video insanity. Alien karate wizards, dragons, talking pigs, mystical chickens, and a New Wave clone band collide in an anything-goes battle for the fate of the world. Part martial arts epic, part supernatural fever dream, part improvised MTV video, Furious blends chopsocky action with horror, superhero mythology and experimental music video energy.
 
Starring Hollywood martial arts legends Simon and Phillip Rhee in their first-ever leading roles — who also handled the film’s relentless fight choreography — Furious stands as one of the most bizarre, ambitious and wildly entertaining entries to emerge from the 1980s North American martial arts underground.
 
directed by: Tom Sartori, Tim Everitt
