Hitler just doing Kung Fu on a podium for his minions.
More WWII movies need scenes featuring Hitler going ham on some kung fu power moves while hordes of his soldiers watch. I demand it.
HELICOPTER HAND GUN AFTER DISARMING A SOLDIER. TOOOO MUCH AWESOMEEEEEE.
Kung Fury rips a Nazi’s arm off, attaches it to the barrel of his pistol, spins it around, and takes off like a helicopter. Fuck your movie. Seriously.
It’s like Double Dragon in real life, side scrolling while random Nazis move around in the back. Heads flying. Fatalities.
In this moment, Kung Fury becomes a side-scrolling fighting game, complete with Street Fighter background movements that obviously will never break the foreground, and it’s rather endearing to watch. But maybe that’s because Kung Fury keeps moving forward, kicking the absolute shit out of every Nazi he sees. Sandberg’s choreography is on point, bodies are dismembered, and kung fu reigns supreme in the face of Nazi scum.
“You gonna need that spine? It’s holding your back.”
RIPS OUT NAZI’S SPINE. THROWS HIM AGAINST WALL. HE FLATTENS AGAINST THE WALL IN THE SHAPE OF A SWASTIKA. CLASSIC. FUCKING. FURY.
Hackerman robot, Triceracop shooting people in the balls, t-rex, Thor, viking warriors with guns, like holy fucking shit.
It’s that “the band’s back together” moment in every action film. Everyone shows up to join the fun. Hackerman morphs into a Transformer-esque computer robot, Triceracop strictly aims for Nazi ballsacks, the T-Rex starts chomping, Thor swings his hammer, and the viking babes turn more Nazis into Swiss cheese. Vikings and uzis. Am I dreaming?
Evil mecha golden eagle fighting t-rex.
Not since Sex-Bob Om battled the Katayanagi twins has a creature battle been more epic.
WHAT THE FUCK. 80s CARTOON MONTAGE WITH SCOOTER-RIDING GOLDEN COBRAS SHOOTING SHIT AND A FUCKING UNICORN AND SHINY LIGHTS. BUTT CLENCH. WHAT THE FUCK.
“I’m on acid. What is in this Snapple I’m drinking. Who drugged me.” – the thoughts going through my mind during this cartoon segment of Kung Fury.
Arrests his own spirit animal in heaven.
How badass is Kung Fury? He tries to arrest his own spirit animal. Have you ever tried to fight with your own spirit? AND LIVED TO TELL ABOUT IT?
“I hacked away all of your bullet wounds, Kung Fury!”
“Hacking” is to Kung Fury as “Transmogrification” is to Team America: World Police.
“…it’s almost like we finish each other’s…” “Balls.” epic nut shot.
I never said Kung Fury was classy.
“I came back in time for you Kung Fury, because, dammit, I love you.” Triceracop?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
“Teamwork is very important.” talking T-Rex
What in the holy fuck is happening.
“Hoff9000” controls his car. Won’t open the doors. “Oh Hoff9000, you sonofabitch”
What better way to end a movie than with some witty banter, a reverse Knight Rider reference, and a clichéd buddy-cop one-liner? Answer. There is no better way.
“Wait a minute. I’ve seen that symbol before. Somewhere.” – Nazi logo.
If there isn’t a sequel to Kung Fury in the form of a full feature, then I’m giving up on movies forever.
In Conclusion: Kung Fury is more than a gimmick. It’s more than a one-hit wonder. David Sandberg has created a pop culture phenomenon that once again shows where the most creative Hollywood minds are – far away from Hollywood. Modern movies are stagnating in this limbo of ambiguity, yet creative minds have to fund their own way to glory, and even then, success isn’t always rewarded. It’s not easy to purposefully make a B-Movie. Many have tried, and MANY have failed miserably (Revenge For Jolly/Muck/The Human Centipede III (Final Sequence)/Gingerclown). Yet Sandberg makes it seem simple, with the grace of a zen warrior who just loaded up on heroin and LSD.
Kung Fury is the most fun you’ll have outside of the theater this year, that I can guarantee, and it’ll probably be better than most of the soulless garbage your local cinema displays anyway. Oh yeah – and it’s FREE TO WATCH. God bless you, David Sandberg.
