For the last half an hour, I've been watching the craziest '80s action movie ever. Its name is Kung Fury and it was released Thursday.
Funded on Kickstarter after a successful campaign started in Dec. 2013, Kung Fury follows the eponymous title character, a bandana-adorned cop with superpowers which grant him uncanny knowledge of kung fu. He wears a leather jacket. He says a lot of cheesy one liners. And his favorite move is the punch in the nuts.
The 30-minute long film, released for free on YouTube, has a simple mission: Explore every possible '80s action movie cliche, and be as over-the-top as humanly possible. We're not kidding about the cliches -- in the first ten minutes, you'll see a flying Lamborghini, Kung Fury's hardass boss who wants him to "start following the rules," tacky synthesizer music, explosions, several boomboxes, more explosions, a nerdy hacker and ninjas.
Oh yeah, and Adolf Hitler is there, too.
Only he knows kung fu, and has changed his name to Kung Fuhrer.
Any more info and we'd spoil the movie -- let's just say it's exceptionally well made, quite funny, and completely insane. There are no excuses for not watching it, so do it now.
BONUS: Watch David Hasselhoff's single "True Survivor," featured in the movie, below.
