The Kung Fury Movie is a loving indie tribute to everything 80s, made by a dedicated filmmaker from Sweden. Director and star David Sandberg created this 80s-inspired film on a tiny budget and went to Kickstarter to find the extra funding to polish his project and release it.
The trailer for the film shows a glut of fun 80s movie cliches -- time travel, synth music, 8-bit video game graphics, cheesy dialogue and hot sports cars in Miami. The story focus on the title character, a kung fu cop who goes back in time to defeat the ultimate kung fu criminal master, Adolf Hitler. This fun and silly action romp boasts Nazis, vikings, Norse gods, arcade robots and more. The Kung Fury movie is sure to be as over-the-top and fun as its trailer, if not more so.
