Don’t forget that @wellgousa has been releasing films done by Kensuke Sonomura since the very start. From Hydra to Bad City, and of course the Baby Assassins films he did choreography on. These are still available on physical and digital in the states.
Brian Le’s animal flow moves in THE FURIOUS recalls another recent standout, FIST OF THE CONDOR. I interviewed Marko Zaror about incorporating it in his training & the film. Their moves are so cohesive,they could legit teach “Gorilla Kung Fu” and “Puño del Condor” as real styles
I hadn't been able to stop thinking about Brian Le in THE FURIOUS since first seeing it last fall. I wanted to profile him as breakout star, and after two interviews I put together 3,000 obviously essential words about him :) BRIAN LE! MY MAN OF THE HOUR! https://t.co/Oluq72EMvi
@BWLGeorge Im genuinely considering not watching it in theatres if they released it censored.
Like, im not gonna pay money to watch a butchered version.
so yeahhh im REALLY HOPING its uncensored.
Dude i am jealous AF of everyone here going for repeat watches The Furious.
Meanwhile im still stuck here waiting for the Philippines to release it on July 1.
And what sucks even more is that we might possibly get a censored version too which is worrying me A LOT.
Also while i havent watched the film yet (delayed in PH sadly) it has been really fun seeing all action fans unite for how godlike this film is in both casual and professional spaces.
Just finished reading and MAN.
Perhaps the most informative and most highly researched/detailed article ive ever read on the "How's and Why's" of Sonomura's action.
I'm so so glad that The Furious is bringing out all these high ball knowledge action knowing writers to light.
THE FURIOUS hits theaters this weekend. For the occasion, I wrote about action director Kensuke Sonomura, one of the most innovative fight choreographers working today. @mubinotebook https://t.co/j5hKL5P6Bp
Should clarify as my The Furious tweets are leaving my tiny sphere of moots and people are misinterpreting this as me saying Tak would make a scary villain I'm actually saying Tak has committed multiple acts of physical and sexual assault and I want him nowhere near a film set
In all of The Furious love, don’t let Kensuke Sonamura’s name be swept aside. Truly feels like he’s fully reinvented action choreo over the course of his career and this one is all of that fully synthesized into something transcendent
