The chinese socials for The Furious have been going pretty steadywith the behind the scene footage! Here's a small smaple of what it takes to shoot this movie, with a bonkers move by one Joey Iwanaga (@joeyiwanaga). #TheFurious

🥲

#TheFurious is the best action flick I’ve seen in the past couple years!

If Liam Neeson’s #Taken chugged a bunch of energy drinks and tripled down in the martial arts department, it would probably look something like this. 

The setup is nothing we haven't seen before, and the film knows it. 

Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, it puts all of its chips on execution and giving us what we came to see.

As you'd hope, the action is the star of the show through and through. And man does this thing produce. 

The fight scenes are RELENTLESS and never ending at times. Some of these brawls felt like they were going on for 20 to 30 minutes, and packed with elaborate choreography. They was EXHAUSTING... in the best way possible.

Several set pieces are already burned into my brain. Fights inside a police station, an octagon, the back of a truck, and even a giant freezer.

That said, the movie isn't without its flaws. My biggest issue was the way law enforcement is written.  They suck (in a distasteful way). There’s partial justification behind why, but this choice most came off like the film was bending over backwards to make sure the hero has to do everything himself.

There's also a handful of characters who simply refuse to go down. It eventually got to THAT point where I was asking myself how some of these people were still alive based on the damage they were receiving.  
And the continuity between scenes can be a little spotty too, especially when it comes to injuries and makeup reflecting the damage characters have endured.

Nonetheless, those criticisms never outweighed what the movie does best.  I've always believed that simple stories leave filmmakers nowhere to hide. 

When the premise is THIS straightforward, style and execution ARE what matter. @Lionsgate

Just cried watching this.

Michael Jackson fans often ask about that break & drum accent before “see that girl…” in “Human Nature.” Believe it or not, the pause was Michael’s idea. Our approach back then was much lighter than the strong drum accent fans recognize today, which evolved over the years.

2016 NCAA Champions. 2026 NBA Champions.

THE NEW YORK KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS 🗽 FIRST TITLE IN 53 YEARS. You just witnessed history.

Knicks did it in 5. History was made tonight! #NBAFinals

By no means comprehensive nor is it full of too many deep cuts but if you see The Furious this weekend and martial arts aren’t usually your bag, I made a fun list of great stuff to dig into either starring or made by the folks involved

“To write for a Black family, you start asking yourself, ‘What am I doing?’ So we cast all Black actors for Gerald’s family — that helped with authenticity. Then we listened to Jamil, Gerald’s voice actor, loved his phrasing and pacing, and wrote more of what he brought. In the ’90s, we were doing our best just to show different ethnicities on screen, thinking it’d be cool for a kid to see Gerald and say, ‘Finally, a character that looks more like me.’ People tell me that now.” Craig Bartlett, Creative Talent Network (2020)

Child actor #GuoJunqing from #TheFurious posted video with actor #YayanRuhian. He wrote down: 'Off-screen, he (Yayan) is a veteran Indonesian martial arts master, known for his gentle personality. During breaks in film set, he willingly posed for photos and personally taught the young actor martial arts choreography step by step. On-screen stand as enemies while being friendly mentor off-screen.'

If the Knicks come back and win this the city is going UP!!!!

SERENA WILLIAMS WINS IN HER FIRST RETURN MATCH 🔥 Williams and Vicky Mboko win their doubles match in straight sets at the HSBC Championships 🙌

Happy 68th Birthday, Keenen Ivory Wayans 🎂🎉🎈 “Put my activator down!” 🤣🤣

This happening during the fight was equal to Thor Killing and Ressurecting Kratos. Same type of disrespect had me shook!

Real Kung fu films are coming back!!!

Legendary action auteur Yuen Woo-ping (The Matrix) assembles a quartet of martial arts icons for the epic of all epics wuxia adventure Blades Of The Guardians: Wind Rises In The Desert. Watch the exclusive trailer here:

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Whatever [the next outbreak] is, we ain’t ready for it. We still have anti-vaxxers running around.” “I don’t trust scientists. I saw a YouTube video, so I’m not going to take it.” (mocking) “I don’t want you to ever forget this story.” “20,000 years ago, we’re in the cave. Do you know what the life expectancy was?” Shannon Sharpe: “10 years? 15 years?” Neil deGrasse Tyson: “30. Half of everyone born was dead before they were 30.” Shannon Sharpe: “Wow!!!” Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Fast forward to 1840… everyone born in the world was dead by the age of 35. We gained five years of life expectancy. And every one of them ate organic, breathed clean air… Science matters here.” “We’ve doubled the life expectancy with antibiotics, vaccines, and sanitation. The three biggest forces operating on our longevity. So to come around and say I don’t need vaccines because I’m not getting sick, that’s like saying, why are you using dandruff shampoo? You don’t have dandruff.” Shannon Sharpe: “Well, I don’t want to get it.” Neil deGrasse Tyson: “That’s my point. If you’re successful, people think you don’t need it when that’s what’s creating the ongoing success in the first place.”

This was learned through their time at TDE.
