The Best

Kung Fury Is The Best Movie Ever Exclamation Point

The film features dinosaurs, David Hasselhoff, vikings, Nazis, explosions, and, of course, kung fu.

What do you get when you combine kung fu, dinosaurs, ninjas, hackers, vikings, Nazis, time travel, cops, super powers, explosions, and David Hasselhoff? The best movie ever, of course.

Thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign, the throwback thrill ride Kung Fury has finally been released on the web, streaming for free on YouTube. The film was advertised as an over-the-top action comedy starring a “super kung-fu cop” who travels from the 1980s to the 1940s to assassinate Adolf Hitler and end the Nazi regime for good, which is how it managed to raise over $680,000 from over 17,000 eager donors on Kickstarter willing to part with their cold hard cash for the chance to see such a mind-boggling adventure. Those who donated to the campaign will be relieved to know that it delivers that and so much more. (Well, they’ll be relieved, when they stop ninja-kicking the air in excitement.)

The sci-fi-adventure-comedy from the mind of Swedish visual effects artist and music video director David Sandberg, manages to cram every trope of the 1980s cop movie genre into one incredibly action-packed 30-minute short film, complete with everything from mutants to vikings to larger-than-life arcade-game robots. If that doesn’t convince you to spend 30 minutes of your life watching Kung Fury, perhaps seeing the title character and his super-human fighting skills face off against Hitler, who has brushed up on his own kung fu chops and changed his name to Kung Fuhrer, will lure you into the fray.

And if you haven’t watched the video for Hasselhoff’s contribution to the soundtrack,“True Survivor,” fix that right now:
