Watch the Amazing, Brain-Melting Kung Fu Short 'Kung Fury' Now!
And you thought nothing could ever be more insane than Mad Max: Fury Road!! Well wait until you get a load of Kung Fury, a 30-minute spine-ripping brain-exploding homage to the action movies of the '80s. The film was written and directed by David Sandberg, and basically it was a legend before it was ever finished. About a year ago he dropped this really eye-popping trailer and launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds, amassing more than $600K in short order. A debut at Cannes (!!!) followed, and now we have the final product, a film that is like every mind-boggling idea Sandberg ever cooked up thrown in one place. We're talking kung fu fighters, walking arcade consoles, cops with dinosaur heads, ninjas, gods, Nazis...EVERYTHING!! None of it makes any sense and that's exactly why it's so awesome. Oh, and look out for appearances by David Hasselhoff and Lonely Island's Jorma Taccone as Hitler.
Can we please get a feature-length version of this? Like right now!? Warner Bros. is probably blowing up Sandberg's phone.
