Kung Fury

Ever since the trailer first appeared, I wanted to see this. It was a Kickstarter project from a filmmaker who had a vision of greatness.

A year later, David Hasselhoff True Survivor hit youtube and everyone came excited that the Hoff bought back 80's coolness.

Word spread like wildfire that the Hoff made the greatest music video in 30 years and people realized it was footage from Kung Fury.

In 2015 the date was set for a Youtube/TV premiere depending what continent you were on; a cop from the future versus mankind's mortal enemy, rather "Immortal Enemy" Adolf Hitler, aka Kung Fuhrer.

Set in an alternate future with an alternate timeline, Kung Fury got funded and made.

Kung Fury was a fantastic film, and it is my favorite of the year 2015. It was fast paced and fun, with great lines. It knew it wanted to be a cheesy 80's movie and relished in it and it was a great creative vision.

This is a movie not to missed and it delivers, full hardcore fun and kung fu action.

It's a 10 out of 10....it was short, it was sweet and when it was over I wanted more.

Best movie of 2015, short or not. To quote the great Keanue Reeves, "Wow, I know Kung Fu," and that line sums up this cheesy, action filled, epic!

Kung Fury [2015]

Genre: Insanely hilarious Action

Rating: 8/10 Review: So Bad , So Good !! Yes! This is the real "So Bad, So Good" movie (Y) The best Nonsense movie in a long time. Okay, before you read the review , please note. This movie has a typical / limited audience & fan base. That's why, you will either find a rating of 4/5 OR 1/5. You will "" Like it" OR "You Don't like it" Story: Kung Fury is about a kung fu cop from 1985 who goes back in time to fight Hitler and the Nazis. With a runtime of just 30mins, this is one hell of a ride with cheesy dialogues, over the top action, Retro music , Nazis-Vikings-Dinosaurs-David Hasslehoff all mixed in one epic screen, making each minute entertaining. Dedicated to the 80s style, I just went back in time.

It has everything as a reference: 1. Music & Background score: Electric drum with synthesizer & guitar :D 2. Action: Martial art movies , Japanese Animation, Video games, Jean-Claude Van Damme; Steven Seagal, Rambo ,.reference from the buddy cop movies (Super- Cop / Lethal Weapon)..etc It's an entirely reference oriented movie. Every scene is a homage to some other movie. You can see shades of Quinton Tarentino's dark humor & Grind house type gore everything is covered.But still, this movie is original & stands out! Yeah! Its that good.

David Sandberg: Writer , Director & Actor – Take a Bow! With a limited budget & technology, he has done a fantastic job. No wonder, in less than 24 hours, the film received over 3 million views on YouTube.

I was always waiting for this movie since 2013 & it succeeded to put a smile on my face which completely blew me with its awesomeness & Qtiyapa. Highly recommended. And,.. Thank you Thor! :)

**Just a thought – Kung Fury can be made into an 8-10 episode TV series. It will break all the records.

This is an epic movie. So epic it hurts. It is well produced and you can really feel that it's a genuine dream project of the creator. The pacing works brilliantly, the soundtrack fits perfect with the action and theme, and the special effects is really high class.

Awesome in everything and just simply a great ride! It has laser shooting dinosaurs, kung fu, Vikings with guns, time travel, a Norse god, Adolf Hitler as villain etcetera etcetera. It is plus size extra everything crammed into 30 minutes. It's like riding a roller-coaster of 80s entertainment with everything from street fighter style fighting to a 80s flying credits. Plus, the director/writer/lead actor David Sandberg is strikingly attractive and works really well as the star Kung Fury. Good looking and bad-ass – what more do you need?

You think this review is over the top? Well so is the movie. This movie turned me from a 30- something movie critic into a little fan boy.

Struck by lightning and bit by a cobra, an ordinary cop has a revelation which helps him master a new form of Kung Fu so powerful that only he, the chosen one, can learn. With his newfound powers, he will stop at nothing to bring justice to the crime-infested streets of Miami. No one could have predicted what was about to come his way, however, once he must embark on a dangerous adventure back through time to avenge a fallen friend.

Kung Fury not only put a permanent smile on my face throughout the entire movie, it completely blew me away and well exceeded my expectations. Writer/ director and lead actor David Sandberg may be the new kid on the block, but hell does he ever know how to make a debut! His character, who goes by the same name as the movie, is the perfect cross between Marty McFly, Steven Seagal, and a Ninja Turtle. But I think the film's biggest strength is that it never takes itself too seriously and remains self-aware of its hilarious and intentional cheese.

You know you're about to get on board for something special as soon as you see the perfectly dated vintage look of the main titles and hear the old-school soundtrack the movie sports. The ode to retro games and electronics alone is worth seeing for the epic blast of nostalgia! I can tell a lot of time and passion went into the making of this short indie film and couldn't be prouder to have been one of the original Kickstarter funders that helped this project take off.

What else can I say except Sandberg may have created the perfect recipe for awesome with this epically over-the-top homage to vintage action movies and the era of VHS tapes that any '80s kid could drool over!

It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things. Its just a really cool short movie that take you back to the amazing 80:s. I do remember that time and some things you just wanna have back. The music, the early electronics etc etc.. The story and the visuals in this movie is groundbreaking! Never have it been a short movie with this tight storyline. When it starts, its on, O yes! 100% Kung Fu, 100% viking power, 100% unimaginable sounds and 100% one of the strangest short movies of all time. So give yourself a 30min of time and see this master piece!
