House of Fury is an action-comedy that emphasizes physical action and martial arts traditions. By centering an East Asian family, it offers culturally specific representation within the action genre. However, the narrative maintains traditional social hierarchies and masculine leadership roles. It does not seek to challenge or deconstruct these norms but instead upholds a conventional storyline. Consequently, while the film provides a strong cultural anchor, it falls short in offering more nuanced or characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity.
