"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.
