Kung Fury's low, hoarse voice is a nod to 1980s film antiheroes such as Snake Plissken of Escape from New York (1981).

Goofs

When Hackerman is hacking Kung Fury back in time, he points his right hand with the Power Glove at the monitor and shoots a beam. Then it cuts to the wide shot, he is still pointing his right hand at the screen. When he stands, you clearly see the Power Glove on his left hand. If you look at his shirt, the E is backwards, indicating this scene was mirrored in post-production.

Quotes

[Thor pounds his hammer on Hitler and his robot bird]
Triceracop: Oh my, not much left of him, is there?
Kung Fury: The important thing is that he's gone. Sorry I doubted you Triceracop. You're the best damn partner I've ever had.
Triceracop: I came back in time for you, Kung Fury, because, dammit, I love you.
[Kung Fury and Triceracop hug each other]
Tyrannosaurus: Teamwork is very important.
Thor: So, what happens now, Kung Fury?
Kung Fury: Well, I need to head back to the office. Looks like it's gonna be a hell of a lot of paperwork.

User Reviews

Whoah, what did I just see?

Have you ever heard the term "this is so bad, it's back to good again" ?

Well, this is definitely the reason, or one of them, this phrase exists. This is so bad, there are no words for it. At the same time it's so funny it's actually genius!

If you are looking for absolutely over-the-top gory effects and you probably even are a fan of "Danger 5", this one is for you.

As a bonus, you'll get pretty much every cliché about the Eighties, plus some of the worst hairdo of the era.

No seriously, watch this!
