"The Furious," a martial arts action film released in 2026, is heading to 4K home media with a Collector's Edition due out on 11 August. The film has drawn strong critical acclaim, holding a 97% critics' score and 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, figures that surpass even John Wick's 85% critics' rating, and its home release means the acclaimed choreography and sound design can now reach a wider audience. It is directed by action specialist Kenji Tanigaki, known for his work on SPL and Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In, and features a cast with genuine martial arts pedigree.

Lionsgate, which distributed the film, will release The Furious: 4K Collector's Edition on 11 August 2026 through its own store for $29.99. The two-disc set includes the 113-minute, R-rated film on both a 100GB 4K UHD disc and a standard Blu-ray, along with a US-only digital copy, preserving its 2.39:1 widescreen picture with Dolby Vision and an English Dolby Atmos soundtrack. The ensemble cast includes Xie Miao, Joe Taslim, Yayan Ruhian, JeeJa Yanin, Brian Le and Joey Iwanaga.

The Furious is a martial arts action film that came out in 2026, directed by Kenji Tanigaki, a filmmaker known for choreographing and directing fight-heavy movies such as SPL and Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In. Its cast draws heavily on performers with real martial arts backgrounds, including Xie Miao, Joe Taslim, Yayan Ruhian, JeeJa Yanin, Brian Le and Joey Iwanaga, which is part of why its fight choreography has been widely praised.

Since its cinema release, the film has built a strong reputation among both critics and audiences, with review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes recording scores that place it above many well-known action films in the same genre. Lionsgate, the studio behind its distribution, is now preparing to bring the film to home media in a 4K format aimed at fans who want a higher-quality picture and sound experience than a cinema or streaming viewing would offer.

This home release matters because it extends the film's reach beyond its theatrical run, letting a wider audience watch it with enhanced picture and audio technology, and because collector's editions like this often serve as a marker of a film's lasting popularity and critical standing within its genre.
