A “Grim Reaper” prank outside a hospital ended with handcuffs instead of laughs.

Leon Gillespie triggered an alarm by dressing as the popular Halloween costume and silently staring at patients outside a medical center, leaving visitors unsettled and prompting authorities to step in.

Leon Gillespie, who previously gained viral attention for similar “Grim Reaper” appearances, now faces legal consequences after the latest incident reignited debate over whether some pranks go too far, especially when carried out near vulnerable people seeking medical care.

Patients and staff at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd Hospital in Rhyl, UK, were left alarmed after Leon Gillespie climbed onto the roof dressed as the “Grim Reaper” while carrying what appeared to be a large scythe. The 26-year-old reportedly stood silently overlooking the hospital, unsettling those below before the bizarre incident eventually landed him in court.

According to a post shared by Fact Philes on Instagram, Gillespie later claimed he had not been dressed as the “Grim Reaper” at all, insisting he was portraying a crow. The court nevertheless fined him over the incident and also penalized him for separate theft offenses involving cat food and kitty litter.

The unusual case quickly sparked a flood of reactions online. One user joked, “I’d like to know under which law he was arrested because this is freaking hilarious,” while another wrote, “QUESTION: What did they charge him with??” Others reflected on the absurdity of the story, with one commenter adding, “I can’t believe we are the new adults .”

Court Rejects Unusual Defense

After spending nearly an hour on the hospital roof, Gillespie was eventually brought down and later appeared before a Welsh court to answer for the incident. Prosecutors charged the 26-year-old with causing a nuisance or disturbance on National Health Service property without a reasonable excuse after he allegedly refused to leave when directed by police.

During the hearing, Gillespie insisted his costume was never meant to resemble the “Grim Reaper.” Instead, he claimed he had dressed as a crow, despite wearing a black hooded outfit and carrying what appeared to be a long blade while overlooking the hospital grounds.

The unusual explanation failed to change the outcome. Gillespie admitted to the nuisance charge and was fined over the incident, with it being reported that the court ultimately held him responsible for the disruption caused by the rooftop stunt.

Leon Gillespie’s Court Appearance Also Exposed Earlier Theft Offenses

The hospital incident was not the only matter addressed during Gillespie’s court appearance. Proceedings also revealed that he had committed two separate shoplifting offenses before climbing onto the hospital roof, adding another layer to the case.

Gillespie admitted to stealing cat food and kitty litter from a pet shop in Llandudno in March, and taking more items from a nearby supermarket in May. The offenses were taken into consideration at the hearing in conjunction with the hospital disturbance.

The North Wales Pioneer reported that Gillespie was ordered to pay separate financial penalties for the theft offenses in addition to the fine imposed for causing a nuisance at the hospital, bringing multiple legal issues to a close in the same court appearance.

A Different ‘Grim Reaper’ Encounter Left A Lasting Impression Online

Before Leon Gillespie’s hospital stunt went viral, another “Grim Reaper” encounter became one of the internet’s most memorable events years ago. The earlier video was made for a harmless social experiment to record the reactions of strangers, not like the incident in Wales.

A man, referred to online as Albert Scotsen, was among those who were featured, with his response being different from the others. He didn’t jump in fear or surprise, but took the masked face as though he recognized it, a moment many viewers viewed as a statement of acceptance, aging, and death.

The video, later shared widely on Facebook, continued to resonate long after its initial release because of that unexpected exchange. Online accounts have since claimed the man died from cancer later that year, a detail that prompted many viewers to revisit the clip as a reminder of how even a lighthearted prank can take on a much deeper meaning over time.

Another Prank Gone Wrong Ends With Consequences

While many elaborate pranks are designed to entertain, some have crossed the line into legal trouble, public outrage, or even courtroom battles. Gillespie’s hospital rooftop stunt has now joined a growing list of incidents where attempts at shock value resulted in consequences far beyond what may have been intended.

The entertainment industry has seen similar disputes over prank-related stunts. The Blast previously reported that “Jackass” star Johnny Knoxville faced legal action after one of the franchise’s hidden-camera pranks allegedly left a participant claiming he suffered emotional distress and lasting psychological harm, underscoring how even seemingly humorous stunts can carry significant repercussions.

As Leon Gillespie’s case continues to spark debate online over where the line between a prank and public nuisance should be drawn, will the bizarre hospital rooftop stunt be remembered as a harmless joke or a lesson in how quickly viral moments can spiral into legal trouble?

Kyle Richards has one thing on her mind for next season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: making up with Dorit Kemsley.

“If I’m coming back, let’s just say that part first. You know that I would repair things with Dorit,” Kyle, 57, told Us exclusively at the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th launch event on Tuesday, August 4, at the Lobster Club in New York City. “I would like to be able to put that behind us and start over and maybe get some things off my mind, some things that people had done and said this last season.”

Kyle added that she has not heard from Dorit, 50, but she did reach out to “congratulate her” for the release of her memoir, Unburdened, which dropped in June.

“Other than that, no, I haven’t heard from her or anything,” Kyle told Us.

According to Kyle, Dorit is still an important person in her life, and she wants to be there for her one-time BFF amid her divorce from PK Kemsley.

“It’s sad to me because, you know, I did care about her, and I do care about her and her family,” she told Us. “I just feel like we’re both going through so much and that we would have been much better off leaning on each other.”

Dorit and Kyle have had a lot of ups and downs in their friendship over the years. The pair experienced their first crack during RHOBH season 13 when Dorit expressed concerns that Kyle was prioritizing other friends over her. Dorit also showed a message from Kyle on camera, where Kyle wrote that it “bothers” her to be in a “weird place” with Dorit.

“They don’t even know we are going through a hard time so I don’t see the need to bring it up there,” the message continued. “I should have said something sooner but I honestly haven’t been strong enough. But relationships and YOU are more important to me than RHOBH.”

The tension between Kyle and Dorit carried over to season 14, as Kyle expressed that she was unhappy with Dorit for sharing their private messages.

“I didn’t have it in me to deal with it because I had so many things on my plate,” Kyle said during the premiere episode in 2025, noting that she was “shocked” when Dorit read their text message during the season 13 reunion. “She tried to publicly embarrass me.”

Kyle also shared that she was still in touch with PK, which upset Dorit. Kyle broke down in tears over the situation after being confronted by Dorit.

“I’m f***ing leaving,” an emotional Kyle told Dorit. “Please, OK. I love you and PK and your kids and you know that. I know that you know that. I’ve been made to feel like I did something wrong — sending a text to PK. So, I said I’m gonna read this once and that is it.”

When RHOBH returned for season 15 — which included a blowout fight during a cast trip to Italy — Kyle and Dorit found themselves not on speaking terms.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley and costar Kyle Richards have not mended their friendship despite their respective splits. “I did feel very abandoned by Kyle,” Dorit, 48, exclusively told Us Weekly. “There were a lot of things that were left unsaid from the reunion, and I was struggling with that because […]

“She’s not open-minded to listening to you, and when she has something in her head, that’s it,” Kyle told Us of her and Dorit’s issues in December 2025. “It’s really frustrating to try to have a conversation with her. Unfortunately, we tried to fix things, and it was like two steps forward, three steps back.”

Dorit, meanwhile, also shared that she is open to reconciling with Kyle.

“Listen, I think you need two people. Any type of resolve, you need two people. And I’ve always said that,” Dorit told Extra in May. “And I’ve also always said because truly I’m the type of person where there’s nothing that you can’t get over if two people want to and I’m always open to it.”

She captioned the video, “Almost Back At 100%.” Gloss Up also shared photos of the stitches on her leg as she continued documenting her healing journey.

She later reassured supporters that she is following her doctors’ instructions, writing, “I appreciate everyone caring about me, but my doctor has cleared me since I left the hospital to start putting weight on my leg. That’s why they sent me home with nothing but crutches. I have a rod in my leg, and it is very secure. I’m following my medical advice and taking my recovery very seriously.”

Despite still working to regain her strength, Gloss Up didn’t let the injury stop her from celebrating an important milestone. Over on Facebook, she shared photos of herself sending her son off to kindergarten, writing, “Handicap & All Mommy Did It. Kindergarten. Lets Go My Mr. Wigglessssss. Prayers To My Baby For A Blessed School Year.”

If there’s any one genre that has been delivering some of history’s greatest films for as long as the medium has been employed for storytelling, it’s the adventure genre. From classic silent short films like Georges Méliès‘ A Trip to the Moon to modern blockbusters of the size of Dune: Part Two, the best adventure movies in film history have gone down as some of the greatest motion pictures ever made, regardless of genre.

The wonderful thing about adventure cinema is how tremendously versatile it is. We can be talking about a grand space opera, a gritty urban action movie, or a high fantasy epic of unprecedented proportions. Regardless, we’re talking about film history’s greatest, most important, most groundbreaking, and most influential adventure movies.

10

‘Dune: Part Two’ (2024)

Frank Herbert‘s Dune is far more than just a great space opera: It’s nothing short of one of the greatest and most influential science fiction novels of the 20th century, and as such, fans’ jaws were left on the floor when Denis Villeneuve proved capable of delivering such a high-quality film adaptation in 2021. But as great as the first Dune was, it’s Dune: Part Two that will likely be remembered as one of the best sci-fi films in history a few decades from now.

It is, at the very least, one of the best sci-fi movies of the last 10 years, one whose grand quest across the desert planet of Arrakis also makes it a masterful adventure film. Visually stunning, elevated greatly by Hans Zimmer‘s best score in years, and perfect in how it translates Herbert’s cautionary tale against the dangers of charismatic messianic leaders, it’s a flawless marriage between Herbert’s imagination and Villeneuve’s powerful vision.

‘Spirited Away’ (2001)

Hayao Miyazaki is not only the poster boy of Studio Ghibli, but arguably the king of anime filmmaking as a whole. He has made several of the best animated adventure movies of all time, but there’s really no question as to which one is the best of them all: It has to be Spirited Away, one of the best family movies since 2000 and probably even the single greatest animated film of the 21st century.

It’s one of the most hauntingly atmospheric, visually gorgeous, and thematically complex animated adventure movies of all time. Far more than just a simple coming-of-age story, it’s a technically perfect and wonderfully-directed gem elevated by some of the strongest world-building and character development ever seen in an animated film.

‘The Wages of Fear’ (1953)

The French-Italian masterpiece The Wages of Fear, directed Henri-Georges Clouzot, is no traditional adventure movie. It’s one of the most intense movies of the 1950s, a high-octane road thriller that’s an absolute masterpiece in how to build suspense. Anybody who loves adventure films at their most tense ought to consider Wages of Fear essential viewing.

What really sets the film apart is that aside from being nail-bitingly entertaining, it also has a philosophical edge not often seen in adventure blockbusters. Blending perfectly-paced action with biting satire, it’s an existentialist meditation on capitalist exploitation that has aged like fine wine in virtually every sense imaginable.

‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ (1981)

If adventure has a name, it must be Indiana Jones, because there is no adventure movie that represents the genre more iconically than Steven Spielberg‘s Raiders of the Lost Ark. Far more than just one of the best-made popcorn movies of all time, this action-adventure masterpiece is pretty much the face of the adventure genre as a whole.

It’s one of the most fun action movies of all time, led by the single most iconic adventurer in the genre’s history. Balancing pulpy action with clever set pieces, John Williams‘ timeless score, Harrison Ford‘s legendary performance, and an engrossing story, it’s a perfect blockbuster that’s easily among the most entertaining pieces of movie magic in the art form’s history.

‘The Empire Strikes Back’ (1980)

Back when George Lucas released Star Wars in 1977, it’s anyone’s guess whether he had any idea of the multimedia pop-cultural behemoth that he was creating. And yet, all these many years later, after decades’ worth of Star Wars media—from movies to books to video games and beyond—, fans typically still agree that the best installment of the bunch is The Empire Strikes Back, now retroactively known as Episode V.

Part science fiction and part fantasy, this adventure masterpiece is irresistibly entertaining from start to finish. Perfectly paced, perfectly imaginative, and elevated by some of the most stunning production values that 20th-century cinema ever saw, it’s the space opera par excellence for a reason. Simply put, no science fantasy film has ever been more timeless than the tale of Luke Skywalker rising to face the Empire as a Jedi once and for all.

5

‘Back to the Future’ (1985)

Robert Zemeckis‘ Back to the Future is irrefutable proof that a science fiction film doesn’t need to be high art in order to be absolutely perfect. One of the best sci-fi comedy movies of all time, this adventure movie gem is one of the most timeless and irresistibly charming blockbusters in Hollywood history, the kind that everyone should watch at least once in their lives.

The whole trilogy is a classic for a reason, but there’s just no beating the original. Delightfully creative, full of life-or-death stakes, and packed with some of the most iconic scenes and set pieces in modern Hollywood film history, Back to the Future is a masterclass in pretty much every single department of blockbuster filmmaking.

‘The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King’ (2003)

Image via New Line Cinema

Tied with Ben-Hur and Titanic as the most Oscar-winning motion picture in history (with a whopping 11 victories), Peter Jackson‘s The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is not only the perfect way of ending such a perfect fantasy movie trilogy, but also far and away one of the best adventure movies since 2000. Fans of J. R. R. Tolkien‘s source material couldn’t have possibly predicted that a film adaptation could work this well.

Perfection when it comes to all forms of art is, of course, a highly subjective thing. But if there’s any one adventure movie that comes so remarkably close to perfection that it’s almost undeniable, it’s Return of the King. Exciting, emotional, action-packed, creative, and perfectly written and directed from beginning to credits, it’s one of the greatest epics in the history of cinema.

3

‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ (1968)

Image via Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer

Stanley Kubrick is still regarded by many as the greatest filmmaker in history, and all it takes is one look at 2001: A Space Odyssey to understand why. It’s probably Kubrick’s greatest masterpiece, a space opera so beautifully poetic and slow-burning that it almost borders on being arthouse. Complex, philosophical, and wonderfully artistic, it’s a must-see for anyone and everyone who loves sci-fi adventures.

There’s something here for pretty much everyone: Exciting set pieces, introspective moments of thematic exploration, wonderful music, striking production values, and several mind-bending moments that make re-watches pretty much obligatory. It’s one of the most complete and well-rounded explorations of human nature that either the sci-fi or adventure genres have ever produced for the big screen.

2

‘Lawrence of Arabia’ (1962)

Image via Columbia Pictures

There’s a very strong argument to be made that David Lean was the greatest director of cinematic epics in history, and as proof, there’s also a very strong argument to make that Lawrence of Arabia is the greatest epic film of all time. It is, at least, one of the best movie masterpieces of the last 100 years, a war biopic unlike anything else that cinema had seen before or has seen since.

What makes Lawrence of Arabia such an elegantly unique adventure movie is that while its four-hour-long narrative is undeniably vast in scale, its scope is so surprisingly intimate and character-driven that those four hours end up feeling like much less. There are grand, thrilling, masterfully-produced combat set pieces here, but also a richly detailed exploration of T. E. Lawrence‘s psyche flawlessly anchored by Peter O’Toole‘s exceptional debut as a leading man.

1

‘Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade’ (1989)

Image via Paramount Pictures

As exceptional and timeless as Raiders of the Lost Ark, which is almost undoubtedly the most iconic installment in the Indiana Jones franchise, may be, it’s Spielberg’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade that is arguably the single greatest adventure movie in film history. This is a genre that’s all about excitement, the wonders of discovery, and the thrill of a good quest, and Last Crusade offers all of that and more.

It’s one of the most entertaining movies of the 1980s, a blockbuster masterpiece made perfectly by the king of Hollywood blockbusters. Bringing Sean Connery on as Indy’s father was far more than just a cute gimmick: The relationship between these two characters serves as the heart and soul of Last Crusade, making it a film as beautifully emotional as it is incredibly exciting. The action sequences are thrilling, the character moments are deeply moving, and the whole thing stands out as the peak of the adventure cinematic genre.

Perez Hilton’s family is speaking out after the celebrity blogger was hospitalized.

“Many of you have reached out with concern for Perez, and we are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming outpouring of love, support, and prayers.

The message concluded, “We kindly ask that you respect Perez’s privacy, as well as the privacy of his family, during this difficult time. If and when we are able to share any updates, we will do so with everyone as soon as we can. Thank you for your compassion, understanding, and continued support.”

Hours earlier, Hilton’s agent Dante Rusciolelli told Us in a statement that there was no “additional confirmed information to share regarding Perez Hilton’s condition” after he appeared in a distressing livestream.

Perez Hilton’s team is speaking out after the blogger was transported to a hospital following a disturbing livestream. “At this time, we do not have any additional confirmed information to share regarding Perez Hilton’s condition,” Hilton’s agent Dante Rusciolelli tells Us in a statement. “Our focus remains on Perez’s health, recovery, and the privacy of […]

“Our focus remains on Perez’s health, recovery, and the privacy of both him and his family during this incredibly difficult time,” Rusciolelli said, adding that Hilton’s team is “grateful for the outpouring of concern and support from fans, friends, and members of the media.”

“We respectfully ask that everyone continue to honor his privacy while he receives the care he needs,” the statement concluded. “Should there be any verified updates appropriate for public release, they will come directly from Dante Rusciolelli at Golden Artists Entertainment.”

Hilton, 48, appeared to engage in self-harm behaviors during a late-night TikTok livestream on Tuesday, August 4. First responders were called to Hilton’s home for an apparent “suicide attempt,” per 911 dispatch audio obtained by Page Six on Wednesday. Multiple units arrived at the scene on Tuesday and reportedly stayed at his home in Miami for hours.

“The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office received multiple calls regarding an individual who was live-streaming acts of self-harm on social media,” read a statement from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office to Us. “Deputies quickly located the individual’s residence, where they spoke with family members on scene, and confirmed he was alone inside.”

Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom haven’t been romantically together since 2013, but they will forever be “family” thanks to their son, Flynn.

Kerr, 43, revealed on the Tuesday, August 4, episode of the “Let’s Be Honest” podcast that she and Bloom, 49, have been great coparents “from day one.”

The model confessed, “It’s obviously not easy when you’re separating and there’s always a level of hurt even if you both know it’s for the right reasons. So there’s always a level of hurt both ways I would say in any separation.”

However, she and Bloom chose to focus on their son, Flynn, now 15, and his needs following their divorce. (The pair were married three years from 2010 to 2013 before they parted ways.)

Orlando Bloom is thankful for his family following his split from Katy Perry. “A lot to be grateful for,” the actor, 48, wrote via his Instagram Story on Thursday, November 28, alongside a photo of him and his children: son Flynn, 14, whom he shares with ex-wife Miranda Kerr, and daughter Daisy Dove, 5, whom […]

“The most important thing that I learnt is just to put the needs of the child first,” Kerr explained of their post-split dynamic.

She told host Kristin Cavallari that she always asked herself, “Is this in the best interest of Flynn?”

Kerr was adamant about getting her and Bloom’s “needs out of the way” and instead focused on the well-being of their son, adding, “And that was really our guidepost for any decision.”

The KORA Organics founder noted that her history with Bloom has helped improve their coparenting relationship.

“Through that, we’ve known each other for a long time, we’ve developed such a good friendship that he’s just part of the family,” Kerr said. “He’s like a brother, you know? So we have that.”

In addition to son Flynn, Kerr is the mother of sons Hart, 8, and Myles, 6, and Pierre, 2, whom she shares with husband Evan Spiegel. (The Australian native married Spiegel, 36, in 2017.)

Like Kerr, Spiegel has always been all-in on working alongside Bloom to coparent.

“What I saw from Miranda and Orlando was very different from what I experienced,” the Snapchat CEO told WSJ. Magazine in July 2020. “I am in no way a replacement for Flynn’s dad. I feel like [I’m part of] Team Flynn.”

Spiegel added at the time that he admired Kerr’s “Aussie way” of letting everyone into their home, including Bloom and any of Flynn’s friends.

“This is one of the things I love about Miranda,” Spiegel said. “Everyone is welcome.”

Bloom, for his part, is also the father of daughter Daisy, 5, whom he shares with ex-fiancée Katy Perry.

Us exclusively confirmed in June 2025 that Perry, 41, and Bloom had called off their engagement after nearly a decade of dating.

Kerr, meanwhile, proved that her friendship with the Pirates of the Caribbean actor was still intact — and that Perry would always be part of her life as well.

How the timey-wimey have fallen. It wasn’t long ago that it felt like the future of Doctor Who was in safe hands, as former showrunner Russell T. Davies, who had helmed the series’ best modern period, returned to steer a once-sinking ship. However, this second stint for Davies, which saw him rely heavily on nostalgia and fail to turn around dropping ratings, ended in disaster. Even exciting new Time Lord Ncuti Gatwa seemingly exited earlier than expected, with his final episode a rushed, unconvincing mess.

It was recently announced that Doctor Who had been put out to competitive tender, with the once-promised 2026 Christmas special and hunt for a new lead, in fact, not true all along. Since this announcement, many have had their say, from Davies pulling the rug from beneath fans’ feet to former stars mourning the loss. Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall, who is cited as the showrunner who began this downward spiral for Doctor Who, has now candidly admitted on the WHO Corner to Corner podcast exactly what the main reason is behind this mammoth decision.

Chibnall revealed that it’s “very easy to miss the point that this is primarily about money,” adding, “It’s very hard for the BBC to fund their programmes right now because of what’s been done to them in terms of funding agreements over the past 15 years and the slow whittling away of that, and the increase in big Hollywood monoliths and conglomerates really taking over the market.” After a new regime at the BBC saw budgets slashed and many shows affected, this is hardly a surprise. “Really, what you’ve got is the BBC can’t afford to fully fund any drama now, and it certainly can’t afford to fund Doctor Who,” he added. Chibnall continued:

“Any discussion around it is about money more than anything else, and I think that that’s been missed a little in the discourse that I saw around the show. There’s all kinds of other things and obviously it’s hugely disappointing and hasn’t been handled brilliantly. But really, the big story is, look, this is a BBC that cannot afford to make shows that it wants to make. The BBC wants to make Doctor Who. Don’t be in any doubt about that.”

Will ‘Doctor Who’ Return?

As a show with change at its heart (or two hearts), Doctor Who and its millions of fans are no strangers to uncertainty. However, things haven’t felt this uncertain since the show first went off air all those decades ago. So what now? Will Doctor Who return? As one of the BBC’s flagship shows and one of the most famous sci-fi shows in the world, it’s unlikely Doctor Who will ever truly disappear. But will it return in its current form? That remains to be seen, but if BBC Studios can purchase the rights, then fans will have the best chance of seeing the timey-wimey show they know and love back on their screens.

You can stream the most recent Doctor Who seasons on Disney+. Stay tuned to Collider for the latest updates.

Everyone wants a sculpted appearance, but according to celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Behrooz Torkian, you might be surprised by what really delivers that look.

The Beverly Hills, California based plastic surgeon has spent the past 20 years specializing in facial rejuvenation and says if you’ve been told filler can lift your face, it’s time to rethink that advice.

“For years we have been trying to bust the myth that fillers can lift skin or the face. They simply do not do that,” he tells ET. “Due to this wrongful belief, many patients have been overfilled with filler.”

Instead, he recommends solutions that truly address sagging skin.

“My practice is largely treatment of the aging face. One of the most requested procedures is treatment of the jowls and heavy necks. This was largely driven by the snatched look popularized by social media platforms, but with the increasing use of weight loss drugs, we are seeing more and more droopy lower faces as people lose fat. For this reason, my most requested procedures now are face and neck lift procedures,” he explains.

While platforms like Instagram and TikTok have made cosmetic procedures more mainstream, Torkian says it’s important to separate trends from reality.

“Patients are by and large more educated by social media. They have a better understanding of procedures and better knowledge of expected results. Unfortunately, some people get misled by the results they see and believe that any result is possible with any starting point. Sadly, that is not the case, and this is often best discussed during a consultation with an honest surgeon.”

If you’re not ready to go under the knife just yet, there are plenty of in-office options that can help refresh and tighten the skin.

“Botulinum toxin administered on a regular basis is our usual first step and another one of our favorites is doing a combination of Virtue RF and CoolPeel to tighten and improve skin laxity and polish skin that is getting droopy and dull in the lower face.”

To enhance those effects even further, he recommends incorporating regenerative therapies.

“The addition of biostimulatory treatments using peptides, exosomes, stem cells, and other such products to our existing treatments can enhance rejuvenation treatments overall,” he notes.

For anyone ready to dive face first into cosmetic surgery, subtlety is always the goal for Torkian.

“I always tell patients, ‘Let’s try not to get greedy’ when planning our aesthetic goals. Trying too hard to change features and change the structure of the face can quickly lead to very obviously surgical-looking results.”

His final piece of advice: Patience pays off.

“Come prepared with questions regarding healing and recovery so that you can proceed at a time that fits your life. Never rush a procedure into your schedule since you can never tell how you will feel and when you will feel comfortable resuming personal and social activities.”

Fight choreography goes two ways in cinema. It’s either average and the focus is elsewhere, or it’s all the film is about. Die Hard and John Wick are two good examples of the latter end of this spectrum. And when a dedicated martial arts film from the John Wick end of the spectrum scores this highly with critics (97% critics score and 95% popcornmeter on RT), it must really have some substance to justify the acclaim. For reference, John Wick sits at an 85% critics score on RT.

The film is helmed by Kenji Tanigaki, whose action work includes SPL and Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In. On top of it, the cast ensemble comes loaded too. Xie Miao began opposite Jet Li as a child actor, and Joe Taslim brought elite judo and The Raid experience. The rest of the cast is rounded out by Yayan Ruhian, JeeJa Yanin (Chocolate), Brian Le and Joey Iwanaga. While the film was released in 2026, Lionsgate, the film’s distributor also responsible for the home media roll-out, has now announced a 4K release.

Lionsgate Limited will release The Furious: 4K Collector’s Edition on August 11, 2026, priced at $29.99, and it will be sold through the label’s own store. The two-disc package contains the 113-minute, R-rated film on a 100GB 4K UHD disc and standard Blu-ray, plus a U.S.-only digital copy. The presentation retains its 2.39:1 widescreen composition with Dolby Vision and an English Dolby Atmos track, both of which are important upgrades for a movie whose wide framing tracks several fighters simultaneously and whose sound design makes every fall, strike, blade, and environmental impact legible.

In the 4K collector’s edition, extras include, but aren’t limited to, A Storm of Carnage: Creating The Furious, a dedicated Five-Man Brawl feature; deleted scenes; the trailer; reversible artwork by Khang Giate and Vincent Aseo; and a booklet featuring an essay by critic Priscilla Page. While The Furious didn’t do too well at the box office (raked in only $39.75 million worldwide against a budget of $20 million in June), it has managed to sit in high regard with both critics and audiences. The stakeholders seem to be tapping into that reception with this whole collector’s package released in the same year, just 2 months after its release.

The Furious follows a mute Chinese father and a tenacious journalist who team up to rescue an abducted daughter and a missing wife from a criminal network after corrupt police refuse to help. There are intense fighting sequences in the film, and it’s reported that for one of the final sequences, Tanigaki’s team rehearsed the fighting sequence for three months and spent 18 shooting days completing it. For a film like that, extras have real meat on them because they help show all the detail that went into justifying the punches, throws, improvised weapons, and bodies colliding inside the frame.

The Furious is available to stream on Prime Video, but its 100+ GB 4K Collector’s Edition will be available to buy at $29.99 a piece starting August 11, 2026. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
