If you are dying today, and you have survived 80's, this is what would be flashing in front of you in the moment of your death. The moment when VCR start syncing your tape is precious and it pushed me back to the past. Idiotic plot is well written, I was laughing sincerely. This movie is fun, entertaining and most of all, awesome. After watching it I went to the street and start fighting with everyone. I think I know karate now. It seams that there is going to be Kung Fury II, and I'm anxiously waiting for it from this moment on. It doesn't have any erotic scene, that is why I only gave it 9. But hopefully, sequel will be filled with 80's eroticism. Thank you Thor.

Kung Fury is about a kung fu cop from 1985 who goes back in time to find Thor who then helps him go forward in time to fight Hitler and the Nazis. Does that make any sense? NO?! Good, now you're starting to get it. This is a collection of 80's clichés and culture but the dial was turned up to 11 and just broke.

You ever play Far Cry: Blood Dragon? These guys did, and it inspired them to make a short film. Its kind of like a love letter to the silliness of 1980's American culture with a Swedish twist. To put it this way, do you like the 80's? Do you like cheesy schlock? Do you like neon pink lights? If so, then this is definitely worth your time.

Hitler: (Phoning the police) "Hello is this the police?"

Police officer on the phone: "Yes".

Hitler: "Fuck you!"

Kung Fury started off as a fan film made by David Sandberg that got released on the YouTube as 30 min short film, but in a matter of hours it was a big hit with it's views and the amount of people loved it because they got that nostalgic 80's feel to it. I got so much praised and so much love that it got a big release. So I checked it out myself just to see what was all the fuss about and I got to say that Kung Fury is the coolest action movie of 2015, it's right up there with Mad Max: Fury Road.

What really surprise me is that this is just a fan movie and it blows my mind how fans can make a better and more well made movie then even Hollywood can sh*t out, I mean David Sandberg put a lot of effort to make the whole movie look like a out of date VHS tape and to catch the 80's magic and it payed off so well.

The movie is really funny, the actor who played Hitler in the movie did really good and David Sandberg made a pretty awesome movie that's creative and fresh.

For problems I had for this movie these only a couple like: These one scene towards the end that kind of lost me a little and that's the end battle with Hitler vs. Kung Fury.

Some of the dialogue needs improving a little bit, but besides that this movie is awesome and it brought a lot of the 80's action fluff that we as movie lovers loved in the first place and it's so good to see it again in this brilliant 30 min short movie.

It's free on YouTube if you want to check it out and the video is only 30 mins long and it was 30 mins of awesomeness.

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!

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.

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!

The title says it all. This is a movie that must be seen, trying to explain it would be pointless. It's easy to find on sites that have videos and stuff.

This is one very amusing, very campy and very absurd ode to the 80s. Every second of this work of love is entertaining and artfully planned. Shows sheer talent, passion, heartfelt nostalgia and mind-bending originality in this crazy take on one bygone era. Absolutely magnificent!

Have you ever heard the term "this is so bad, it's back to good again" ?

Well, this is definitely the reason, or one of them, this phrase exists. This is so bad, there are no words for it. At the same time it's so funny it's actually genius!

If you are looking for absolutely over-the-top gory effects and you probably even are a fan of "Danger 5", this one is for you.

As a bonus, you'll get pretty much every cliché about the Eighties, plus some of the worst hairdo of the era.

No seriously, watch this!

Actually it is not. It might seem so, as this 30 minute short film is just reference after a reference to everything that was popular in 1980s, but with very high production values, and special effects better than some recent Hollywood action romp. No wonder, the film's budget was around $600.000. But that doesn't devalue 'Kung Fury's never stopping energy, good heart and head spinning enjoyment. It takes a lot of imagination to boil together all these characters, different worlds, and absurd humor into one compound and overdoing everything exactly to the perfect point of absurd until it all makes sense. Come on, how can you not like a movie about the Miami cop who's the greatest Kung Fu master, and with the help of dinosaur riding machine-gun toting Viking women and Thor he is stepping into the fight with Adolf 'Kung Führer' Hitler.

If you want good natured parody with good humor and exact feeling of low budget '80s feeling, then I would recommend 'Garth Marenghi's Darplace', but 'Kung Fury' is must see spectacle for everyone. One of the greatest parodies ever since 'The Naked Gun'.

This is just great entertainment, I backed this on Kickstarter some time ago and have been following and waiting for the reveal of this film, the extra Hoff music video that came out a bit before this was just extra candy for an 80 kid like me :)

It spans a lot of different times and has some really nicely done scenes in all of them, of course the future is the most fun, but also the mix of prehistoric time is great and Nazi Germany with everything in it is also fun.

The characters are very different, they are both interesting well maybe more strange at times, but also fun and has their own characteristics and special powers.

It is truly very well thought of and executed and I was very much entertained.

It was on this day, the Twelfth of June, Twenty-fifteen, that many milestones were reached here at the Mock Films Blog.

Milestone #1: The post before you is none other than the 50th entry into the coveted of M.F.B. archives.

Milestone #2: This day marks the inaugural posting of the M.F.B.'s newest and most innovative segment Check Your Shorts. This is where a much overlooked genre of the cinematic world, Short Film, get it's time in the spotlight.

Milestone #3: Today I have had my senses blessed by one of the most unabashedly hyper-amazing action/comedies to have ever axe kick it's way into existence. I speak of none other than Kung Fury (2015).

To try and explain this 'playground of crazy' would do the project a disservice. Kung Fury needs to be experienced. Kickstarter funded for $600,000, this Swedish indie has gained fast notoriety on Youtube, where it can be viewed (do yourself a favor and watch it on the biggest, loudest device you can find). Like I said, I will not tell you much about the movie, but here are a couple of tidbits peak your interest. A Kung Fu Cop, a Laser Raptor, and Adolf Hitler. Those are the tame parts. Quippy one-liners, 'in on the joke' writing, and an eye for detailed action concepts that are freaking bonkers. It's as if the greatest action movie ideas ever conceived by the gods themselves were amped to 100 and then made sweet yet vigorous love to the 1980's (let that mull around in the old grey matter for a bit)—

"In the 1940s, Hitler was a kung-fu champion. He was so good at kung-fu, that he decided to change his name to 'Kung Führer'."

Kung Fury is a 30 minute short directed by David Sandberg who financed the film through a kickstarter campaign raising over 600,000 dollars. It is a homage to 80's bizarre action movies with its colorful neon lights, cheesy one-liners, and over the top characters. David Sandberg plays the titular character as he is a Kung Fu cop who will have to travel through time to defeat the most dangerous criminal of all time: Adolf Hitler (Jorma Taccone). With the help of Hackerman (Leopold Nilsson), who can even hack time, he travels to the past in order to face his fearless enemy. Along the way we encounter dozens of wacky characters like Triceracop, Thor, two Viking babes named Barbarian and Katana, who save him from the Laser Raptors. This is a flat out crazy homage to those classic films, but unfortunately despite it all I never really had fun with the film. It was an entertaining watch and it was interestingly produced to feel like an authentic 80's movie, but the screenplay was just too bizarre for my liking. I was born in 1981 so this film should appeal to me, but I didn't get any sense of nostalgia. I did enjoy however, the score of the film and the song from the Hoff. It made my viewing experience a little more entertaining. Despite some funny moments, the short was a miss for me.

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.

Thirty minutes just isn't long enough!

This is great - it manages to be very very funny by being simultaneously very dumb and very clever (you choose the level you east to enjoy it at).

So many fondly remembered clichés compressed into a half an hour of non-stop laughs.

I seriously hope this gets remade into a full length movie because it's worth it.

The quality of the CGI and production is great - it's just like watching something on VHS (did we really do that? Anyone who had only known DVD doesn't know how lucky they are!).

There are so many great 80s movies referenced in this film - is like revisiting my childhood again.

There is nothing to say about this movie other than everything is perfect.

One can hardly believe that such a movie can be done with 200000$. It is filled with special effects, fun dialogue, ridiculous puns, wonderful references and it is completely utterly ludicrously over the top.

David Sandberg writes, directs and acts in this film which covers kung fu, Adolf Hitler, machine gun viking chicks on dinosaurs that shoot laser out of their eyes, Thor, 1980's hacking and time travel. The guy looks very familiar, so either he has a lookalike or I've seen him in something else on the web. IMDb is so unreliable when it comes to "unofficial" video productions.

Really loved the short 30 minute film. I especially respect that it is a fun production done with money from Kickstarter and released for free, on YouTube and other places. Haven't had so much fun since Star Wreck.

Update: I remembered the face now. I thought he was Milo Ventimiglia for some reason.

A bashful compilation of knocking out cheesy, yet super rad, 80's clichés in an uninterrupted flow of awesomeness. These filmmakers know how to make a satirical tribute to the tee. In fact, it reflects our actual perception of the 80's, how something can be so cheesy and awesome at the same time - a paradoxical wonder of nature!

The majority of the film's elements are nonsensical. The story progresses, not on the premiss of action/reaction in conflict, creating meaningful change, but instead on the premiss that "the 80's did it", no matter how aimlessly the story progresses and events occur. That's the beauty of the film; just sit back, relax and be prepared to laugh.

I think the real reason this film works is thanks to it's own self-awareness. The filmmakers knew exactly what they were doing. That's the reason why they could go berserk with everything 80's, with the confidence that they were creating something interesting, some might even say "something great".

I do not want to disclose the plot for you who haven't watched it yet. It's better to be surprised by all the random and ridiculously flamboyant elements of the story. And I really do recommend this film to all of the 80's lovers out there.

All in all, "Kung Fury" was an amazingly rad film, in my opinion.

Great job! 7/10

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!

...or just the most amusing return to the spirit of "80 's. Because it contains all the pieces defining that decade. And this does it irresistible. From the fight scenes to comercials, from the brave cop to Rambo, to the Nazi comedies to the mythology , all is fresh and hilarious and ...nostalgic. A short film proposing one of the most time travels. So, real lovely

Kung Fury succeeds in what it's trying to do. Being a over-the-top homage to 80's action silliness.

I have heard it being said that it tries too hard, and it does try hard, but again, that is also sort of the point. With its short run time, almost every scene is a spectacle in some way.

Kung Fury is about a half hour long, and it's fortunate that it isn't longer, because that would have been triple overkill. It's the right length.

Not all the humor hit home with me, but I am a tough crowd, when it comes to humor. And I'm sure most people does think it is very funny.

Kung Fury has several really cool action sequences, and I really love the wonky style it is made in. You can clearly see that, I assume pretty much the whole movie, is green screen. It really fits. The effects are overall executed well, it's not WETA-quality, and it doesn't need to be, actually it probably shouldn't be. The style works very well.

Not going to say all that much. Bottom line is you can't go wrong with this one, nothing here is serious, and should it not be your cup of tea, it only lasts 30 minutes.

Big plus for one of the fighting sequences, made to look like it's one long take, (you'll know when you see it) it's like 300 meets Old Boy meets Mortal Kombat. It is without a doubt the single best thing in the whole movie. Truly awesome. More scenes like that one, and it would have scored higher with me.

"Kung Fury" is a wild and nostalgic homage to 1980s action and martial arts films, blended with a heavy dose of humor and over-the-top visual effects. Directed by David Sandberg, who also stars as the titular character, the film dives headfirst into a bizarre and fantastical world where a kung fu cop travels back in time to kill Adolf Hitler, aka Kung Führer.

The film is a whirlwind of cheesy one-liners, neon-drenched visuals reminiscent of retro video games, and absurd plot twists that keep you laughing and bewildered throughout its short runtime. It unabashedly revels in its own absurdity, with dinosaurs, vikings, and arcade game characters all making appearances alongside the protagonist.

Despite its intentionally low-budget look, "Kung Fury" succeeds in its goal of being an outrageous and entertaining parody. It's a love letter to the era of VHS tapes, synthesizer music, and action heroes with ridiculous names. If you're a fan of campy humor, retro aesthetics, and don't mind a healthy dose of silliness, "Kung Fury" is definitely worth a watch. Just be prepared for a non-stop barrage of 80s nostalgia and absurdity.

This was absurd. As another reviewer put it, absurd in a "good way." No. Absurd is absurd. Look, I got it. The humor wasn't lost on me. But there's clever, thought-out, irreverent humor, and then there's this. A few gags were credible. I did laugh. So I have to give it a few stars, at least.

It's the kind of stuff you talk about with your college friends nerding over 80s white-boy entertainment (the Japanese-influenced elements are still white-boy) but never have any way of pulling off. There's a reason for that. Somehow, these guys just managed to find the cash. About a third of it was well-executed. The other parts were it-was-funny-at-the-time or guess-you-had-to-be-there kind of humor.

And maybe that's why there are so many ten-star reviews. I've noticed quite a number of them say, "I supported this on Kickstarter." Yeah, of course you think it's great. Don't read those reviews. They're experiencing cognitive dissonance.

The only reason I lasted the full half-hour was because it was a half-hour, still about 20 minutes too long. Some of the best gags could have been done in a ten minute short, and good fun would have been had by all. Since it was about a third good, I give it a third of the credit. Three-point-three-three stars. But since I have to round it off, just three.
