Furienote Hai Phượng in its Vietnamese release is a 2019 martial arts film starring Ngô Thanh Vân.In rural Cần Thơ town, Hai Phuong is a despised debt collector, hated by many of the residents while barely making enough to support her own daughter Mai. One day at the market, thieves steal her daughter and Hai launches into pursuit, unable to stop the thieves but managing to track them to Ho Chi Minh City.There, Hai learns of an extensive organ selling criminal enterprise, promising a gruesome fate for Mai if she is not found in time. With the police being slow to mobilize, it's up to one lone mother to confront the gangs herself with only her fists and her ruthlessness to save her daughter.The film was choreographed by action professionals who previously worked on the 2010s James Bond films and the Mission Impossible film series. It is the highest grossing Vietnamese film in history.A spin-off was announced titled Thanh Sói: Pain Changes People, which was released in 2022 and is a prequel centered on the rise of Furie's Big Bad. | |

Furie / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Whether Mai ends up building her fish farm is not discussed in the closing scenes. Without Hai's pearls, which were crushed by Thanh Sói, the two lack the money to open it, though it's possible that Hai's newfound fame might aid the two financially. | |

Apathetic Citizens | |
Furie / int_25dc6ef5 | comment |
Apathetic Citizens: While no one helping Hai Phuong fight off waves of attackers might be justified due to people not wanting to get involved in such a dangerous situation (especially for such an unpopular woman), it's still surprising that literally no one comes to her aid in any way. Less justified is that no one in a sleepy waterside village gives a second thought to a screaming child being dragged away by two criminal-looking men. Implied with the other passengers of the bus, given that it seems no one had any concerns about this group over the course of an hours long bus ride. | |

Police Are Useless | |
Furie / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Hai takes matters into her own hands when it becomes clear to her the police are going to take their time in tracking the gang when Mai only has hours to live. Captain Luong tells her that their efforts have been slow because it's difficult to prove the gangs are trafficking children, and every time they try the criminals move their efforts and start again. Ultimately Hai's rampage tears a devastating hole in the gang's efforts, allowing the police to come in at the climax and pin all of them down at once. | |

Education Mama | |
Furie / int_5b9cf82b | comment |
Education Mama: Hai Phuong is adamant that Mai focus on her studies, wanting her daughter to do well in school so she can get a better career than being a debt collector. Mai, however, dislikes school because of the bullying there, and wants instead to provide for herself and her mom by opening a fish farm. Given Hai Phuong's Animal Motif, she's absolutely a "Tiger Mom." | |

Truc was once a member of the organ trafficking gang but has since retired to his mechanic shop where his elderly mother lives with him.

Color Motif | |
Furie / int_b869b5b1 | comment |
Color Motif: The most common tint on fight scenes in Furie (and on the poster) is purple. It's the color of bruises, but in Vietnamese culture it can also symbolize tenderness and fragility. Hai Phuong also wears a purple áo bà ba for most of the film, rural garb that stands out in the city on top of the blood stains and tears it accumulates. | |

Furie / int_cf9b131f | comment |
Muscles Are Meaningless: Hai is noticeably slight compared to most of the men she fights, but she tends to get the upper hand with quick thinking, agility, and use of the environment. This is especially noticeable compared to Thanh Sói, who is much more muscular, and for most of the film tosses Hai around with little trouble if not for Hai continuing to get back up. | |
