It serves almost like a sequel, picking up the adventures of Kung Fury, Barbarianna, Hackerman, and Triceracops from where the film ended. Kung Fury: Street Rage is a video game adaptation of sorts.

I personally recommend watching Turbo Kid if you want to see a bit more theatrically-lengthed mayhem, and a shockingly good performance from Monroe Chambers (of Degrassi fame). It’s not as if the 80s wave wasn’t already underway and still persists to this day. The movie, which had a successful Kickstarter campaign, became the subject of many a meme and plenty of pop culture saturation…for a minute.

It’s a half hour long, it’s on YouTube, and it’s worth watching for several things, most notably Jorma Taccone as a martial arts Hitler and an indisputably amazing song from David Hasselhoff. įor those unaware, Kung Fury is a short film from 2015 that is a massive homage to the movies and aesthetics of the 80s, specifically the more bizarre nature of action films and B-movie moments. There are so many questions I have, such as “why?” and “why now?” Playing through this game has answered none of my questions, so now I’m left with three things: a decent review, a curiosity, and a playlist full of synthwave music because you can’t not get into it after a few rounds of Street Rage. It’s incredibly weird to try and take the temperature of the world around me when something like Kung Fury: Street Rage – ULTIMATE EDITION comes across my desk.
