The Furious Interview: Joe Taslim and Kenji Tanigaki Talk Action

The Furious interview — Joe Taslim and director Kenji Tanigaki break down the making of one of the most intense martial arts action movies of the year. In this interview, I sit down with Joe Taslim and Kenji Tanigaki to discuss The Furious, the brand-new martial arts action film from Lionsgate. Directed by Tanigaki and starring Xie Miao / Mo Tse, Joe Taslim, Yang Enyou, Brian Le, Joey Iwanaga, Jeeja Yanin, and Yayan Ruhian, the film delivers a relentless story of vengeance, rescue, and bone-crushing action. After seeing The Furious, I genuinely believe this is one of the most exciting action films of the year and a true showcase for modern martial arts cinema. The movie brings together an incredible international cast of action performers and creates fight sequences that feel brutal, balletic, emotional, and completely exhausting in the best way possible. In this conversation, we talk about what it takes to create action that feels real, painful, fast, and character-driven. Kenji Tanigaki has built a career around action choreography and stunt work, and with The Furious, he brings that experience into a full-throttle martial arts film that feels designed for fans of practical action, hand-to-hand combat, and movies like The Raid, John Wick, and classic Hong Kong action cinema. I also talk with Joe Taslim about stepping into this world, preparing for the physical demands of the film, and how working on The Furious compares to some of his past action roles, including Mortal Kombat and The Raid. Joe brings such intensity, emotion, and physicality to this movie, and hearing him talk about the preparation behind these fights makes the final result even more impressive. This The Furious interview dives into the fight choreography, martial arts preparation, working with Kenji Tanigaki, building trust on set, creating emotional stakes through action, and why this movie feels like a love letter to action cinema.

On this episode, Zach Pope reviews Marvel’s The Punisher: One Last Kill, the brand-new Jon Bernthal-led Punisher special that brings Frank Castle back in raw, brutal, and emotional fashion.
