Character is not portrayed as attractive. She's just muscular


* MusclesAreMeaningless: 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 [[AmazonianBeauty much more muscular]], and for most of the film tosses Hai around with little trouble if not for Hai [[{{Determinator}} continuing to get back up.]]

* NeverBringAKnifeToAFistFight: Thanh Soi has dominated 99% of her fight time against Hai Phuong. But when Phuong gets her HeroicSecondWind in their final fight, Thanh Soi pulls out a knife... which is promptly used to stab its owner. [[NoKillLikeOverkill Repeatedly. And then kicked into her neck]].

* ApatheticCitizens: 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.



* EducationMama: 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 AnimalMotif, she's absolutely a "Tiger Mom."

* ColorMotif: 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 is also wearing 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.

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 unwilling 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.

* PoliceAreUseless: 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. [[spoiler: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.]]
