Watch crowdfunded 80s action parody Kung Fury for free

David Sandberg’s homage to over-the-top ‘80s actioners has hit the web in its entirety to a surge of positive reviews. Why has this low-budget crowdfunded gem won over the entire Internet and racked up 3.2 million views (at the time of writing) in less than a day?

Over the course of 30 minutes, Kung Fury packs in kung-fu cops, norse gods, dinosaurs, sentient video games, time travel hacking and tons of cheesy one-liners. With a production style that models itself on a worn-out VHS tape, endlessly rewound and rewatched, and so-bad-it’s-good animation - it’s well on its way to becoming a cult sensation.

Kung Fury. All hail the schlockbuster!
