Kung Fury
written and directed by David Sandberg
I think this short movie (30 minutes) is showing what it would be like if video games
were real life. The hero is a cop-cum-kung-fu-chosen-one in a blood-filled, surreal
Miami. He’s sent back in time to kill the Kung Fuhrer. Along the way (among other
things), he meets both Thor and David Hasselhoff, gives a beautiful Viking girl a
cellular phone so she can call him, and smashes random Nazis in original ways.

Hackerman: I was able to triangulate the cell-phone signal,
trace the caller: His name is Adolph Hitler.Kung Fury: Hitler. He’s the worst criminal of all time.
Hackerman: You know him, sir?
Kung Fury: I guess you could say that. In the 1940s, Hitler was a kung fu champion. He was so good at kung fu that he decided to change his name to Kung Fuhrer.
