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.

User Reviews

Great style all the way

This is just great entertainment, I backed this on Kickstarter some time ago and have been following and waiting for the reveal of this film, the extra Hoff music video that came out a bit before this was just extra candy for an 80 kid like me :)

It spans a lot of different times and has some really nicely done scenes in all of them, of course the future is the most fun, but also the mix of prehistoric time is great and Nazi Germany with everything in it is also fun.

The characters are very different, they are both interesting well maybe more strange at times, but also fun and has their own characteristics and special powers.

It is truly very well thought of and executed and I was very much entertained.
