Some of the moves are just too damn painful to take in the head!
There’re two things for certain that you can rely on the Thais for, good horror movies and good action movies. I remember that horror movie I watched about a year ago, that was about one dead twin haunting the twin that was alive. Real creepy stuff.
Fury is basically an action film that heavily relies on its perfectly choreographed Muay Thai fight scenes. The story tells of a Thai gang lord’s daughter/lover falling in love and ending up having a baby with a Japanese senior gang member. The Thai gang lord is definitely way pissed at the Japanese dude and he goes out of the way to make life miserable for the two of them.
Eventually the mother gives birth to her child, a little girl called Zen. The story tells us that she is autistic but I think the actresses that played her from childhood to adulthood had no idea what are the implications of autism. They tried hard but it definitely doesn’t add up to the real deal. Anyways, when she grows up, she develops a real fascination for Muay Thai and kicks at a wooden pole for quite some time and does other stuff related to it. She also develops inhuman reflexes when she can catch and dodge objects thrown at her simultaneously. She does all this with the help from a childhood friend called Moom.
Her mother develops cancer when the Zen’s pretty much 20-ish years old. Moom decides to cash in on Zen’s uncanny abilities to make some cash by public shows. Eventually a gang tries to crash in on their show and Zen proceeds to knock the living daylights out of them. Pretty soon Moom discovers that they can’t make enough money to fund her mum’s chemotherapy and luckily he finds a small book that lists down all the people that owe her money from the time she was a gangster.
This is when the fun starts. The debtors start refusing and set their lackeys after Moom and Zen and she proceeds to kick the stuffing out of these punks in painful and acrobatic style. They fight in an ice breaking factory, a packaging factory then in a night meat market. The best sequence was definitely the night meat market ‘cause there were cleavers being thrown around and the way some of the guys were dispatched were just painful. The best part was Zen threw a broken rake that acted like a spear towards the head honcho of the meat market. It missed him but he backed up straight into a nail almost 3 inches into his ass. As he tried to struggle out of the nail, Zen kicks him in the stomach into the nail again.
What happens after all the ass-kicking is just important to the storyline and some awesome moves. Just go watch the damn thing, people!
Ol’ Spiky’s Rating – 4/5 – The Thai language sounds so annoying! No offense meant. =P
Definitely worth 8/10/11 bucks. I don’t think GSC is filming out although I saw the ad there 1st, in 1 Utama. I watched the midnight show at TGV, Pyramid. Alright then, bet it’s assignment season for everyone so good luck with you work! Peace out y’all!
P.S: Had a minor accident last night on my way to Asia. Damned lady driving an old Honda Civic stopped sideways in the middle of the road right in freaking front of me! I couldn’t brake the Kelisa in time and knocked into the left side door. Dude sitting in the passenger seat looked like a deer caught in headlights. Since I was the one at the biggest risk here if the fuzz got involved, I just paid the mofo 200 bucks and settled that shit. Suheil’ll give me the cost of repairs on his car later. The metal’s scrapping the right front tyre every time I made a left.
