With Kung Fu Rookie, Timur Baktybayev introduced himself to the world via an undercover remake of Jackie Chan’s classic RUMBLE IN THE BRONX. It was a humble take on the classic, yet it captured the right essence, with the Kazakh actor mimicking the “Hong Kong Tornado” by replicating his every move and camera mannerism. There is no doubt that Chan is his idol and that Baktybayev knows his filmography by heart. However, despite that film’s indisputable quality, there is little virtue in pure imitation. It is difficult to carve out a name for yourself while standing in the shadow of a legend—especially someone like Chan, who acts as a total eclipse to anyone standing before him.

It wouldn’t be the first time that a film with the same title as another was released. For this, particularly with Heng Aik Siong’s latest now titled, The Furious: Pertaruhan Maruah, we’ve since gotten an official teaser with a Malaysia release slated on May 28. We also have an updated synopsis by way of the film’s IMDb page so, thank goodness for that. When YouTuber-boxer Danial insults their late father’s name, brothers Firdaus and Hakim reunite – one fighting for redemption, the other for revenge – in a battle that will decide not just who wins, but what remains of The Furious legacy. Siti Jasmina Ibrahim co-penned the script along with Adrian Teh for a cast led by Zul Ariffin, Sky Iskandar, Ikmal Amry, Marisa Yasmin, Zamarul Hisham, Sandra Lim, Zarul Husin and more.
