Imagine a movie that features Arnold Schwarzenegger connected a dinosaur, giant mech battles, clip travel, David Hasselhoff arsenic a talking Lamborghini, Michael Fassbender with a mullet, and an all-out warfare against Adolf Hitler. Now ideate that movie ne'er coming out. Both are hard concepts to fathom, but each applies to Kung Fury: The Movie.
Written, directed, and starring David Sandberg, Kung Fury: The Movie (also referred to arsenic Kung Fury 2) is simply a feature-length follow-up to a 2015 abbreviated movie that you tin ticker connected YouTube (or below).

Based connected that film’s success, a feature-length mentation was made that brought backmost Taccone and Hasselhoff, and added Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Fassbender, and Alexandra Shipp. However, a ineligible conflict implicit the film’s ocular effects has delayed it 5 years and counting.
Late past week, though, a 10-minute promo for the movie leaked online and Variety confirmed with Sandberg that it was successful information genuine. “This was an interior promo video that was ne'er expected to beryllium seen by the public,” Sandberg said successful a statement. “I consciousness atrocious due to the fact that it contains a clump of crippled points and temp VFX. I anticipation astatine slightest radical tin spot the passionateness that we poured into the movie, the satellite deserves to spot it arsenic it was meant to beryllium seen. This movie has been held hostage for the past 5 years but I committedness to support warring for it and marque definite this movie gets the accidental it genuinely deserves.”
The clip not lone features each mode of batshit insanity, specified arsenic Schwarzenegger connected the dinosaur, Fassbender shooting bullets to property keys connected a typewriter, and truthful overmuch more, but immoderate presumably immense communicative spoilers specified arsenic quality deaths and crippled twists. So you recognize wherefore Sandberg would seemingly consciousness mixed astir the leak.
But possibly this is Deadpool each implicit again. You virtually can’t ticker the 10-minute clip and not instantly privation to spot the movie. It’s simply not possible. So, maybe, by bringing further consciousness to the project, thing tin beryllium worked retired to get Kung Fury: The Movie into the world. For now, here’s the archetypal abbreviated film.
