The Furious is set for a January 29, 2027 release in Japan under the title The Furious: Battle Royale, distributed by Showgate. A teaser trailer and visual are out.
The Furious is a Kenji Tanigaki action film that stars Xie Miao as a father fighting a criminal organization to save his daughter. Showgate handles the Japan release, which was set for 2027 in June 2026 and then dated for January 29, 2027 under the title The Furious: Battle Royale. A teaser trailer and visual have been released.
The cast includes Joe Taslim, Yayan Ruhian, JeeJa Yanin, Brian Le and Joey Iwanaga. Kensuke Sonomura is the action director and Flying Lotus composed the music. The fight scenes use no stunt doubles, according to the January 29 announcement.
The film's reception record took shape before its domestic opening: it won the Special Jury Prize at Sitges, and a US run drew a 98 percent Rotten Tomatoes score and three awards at the Jackie Chan International Action Film Week. The two stories do not report a Japanese box office result or any post-release performance, so the current picture covers the film up to its Japan opening date.
