Watch the fan-funded 80s throwback movie ‘Kung Fury’ online for free

After getting funding for over $630,000 from 17,000 movie fans, David Sandberg‘s 30-minute homage to 1980s action/ kung-fu movies Kung Fury has just been released online for free in its entirety.

We first heard of this all of the way back in December of 2013, and since then Sandberg and his collaborators have been hard at work pulling their movie together, and it is quite brilliant. The film was pushed back from a 2014 release as ambition on the piece grew bigger, and along the way the project attracted the talents of David Hasselhoff (who released a song and excellent music video to accompany it). The boys even took it to Cannes earlier this month.

We’ll stop blabbering as I’m sure you’ll want to watch this piece of filmmaking genius. It’s available in the player above.

Here’s Laser Unicorn’s official announcement.

The short film Kung Fury is a homage and a love letter to the 80’s from the director David Sandberg.

Miami Police Department detective and martial artist Kung Fury time travels from the 1980s to World War II to kill Adolf Hitler, a.k.a. “Kung Führer”, and revenge his friend’s death at the hands of the Nazi leader. An error in the time machine sends him further back to the Viking Age.

The film was crowdfunded in the beginning of 2014 and released on the 28th of may 2015.

The film is now available for free!
