![]() As suggested above, it’s more of an homage to martial arts flicks, but in the best ways.ħ. What about the Kung Fu? Is it a good martial arts movie? Umm… it’s very hard to categorize it soley as a martial arts flick, what with the gun battles, robot rampages, and dinosaurs. It’s delightful in every way you can imagine.Ħ. All I meant is that there is one action scene that is, bascially, a side-scrolling videogame brought to life. Please don’t say it’s like that horrible Prince of Persia thing? Oh, no, no, no. You mentioned side-scrolling video games. The great works of Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Snipes.ĥ. Second, your kids would need to have had at least a rudimentary grounding in the great works of ’80s cinema. It’s not for younger kids, first of all, because there is a liberal use of a certain ‘bomb’ that sits between E and G, and some graphic (but not gruesome, per se) violence. But if it’s that ’80s-centric, will my kids enjoy it? Well, here’s the thing: it all depends upon your kids. It just piles on the tropes of all those genres of entertainment, and turns them up to 11 with great effect.Ĥ. Okay, I’m getting a vibe here is it a send-up? A joke? No, as I said, it’s an homage, with a lot of humor. Take a moment to watch the music video:ģ. I won’t spoil his small, but important role in the movie, but more importantly he does the key song, True Survivor, which itself is an homage. David Hasselhoff? You’re kidding, right? You just added that to make sure we were reading everything! Nope, the Hoff is here. It is an homage to (not necessarily in order of importance): ’80s cop shows, Kung Fu movies, barbarian epics, side-scrolling video games, sci-fi/time-travel, computers, and David Hasselhoff.Ģ. Wait, Kung Fury? What the heck is a Kung Fury? KF (to make it easier to repeat) is a short film, just 30 minutes long, that was financed via Kickstarter. While I’m not ready to see guys walking around in white suits over pastel t-shirts and espadrilles, there was something about the ’80s that still looks cool.ġ. Every person one day gets to an age where what they loved as cool and new in their formative years becomes retro cool.
