If you haven’t seen David Hasselhoff singing as some guy who rode a dinosaur battling Nazis in a music video that looks like it came straight from the ’80s, do yourself a favor and :
The “Baywatch” and “Knight Rider” icon lent his vocals for the song “True Survivor,” the lead track for the upcoming short film “.” The premise of the movie is as absurd as the music video.
Official synopsis:
Kung Fury is an over-the-top action comedy written and directed by David Sandberg. The movie features: arcade-robots, dinosaurs, nazis, vikings, norse gods, mutants and a super kung fu-cop called Kung Fury, all wrapped up in an 80s style action packed adventure.
Super campy? Yes. Terribly amusing? Absolutely.
The origins of “Kung Fury” dates back to 2013 when director David Sandberg released a 2:20 trailer for the over-the-top comedy that is heavily influenced by cheesy ’80s flicks. . I can wait.
The movie gained steam on Kickstarter, pulling in $630,019 for the project. While it fell short of the $1 million goal to create a feature film, there will be a 30-minute version of the movie available for free online, which will be released May 28 on YouTube.
