Film Kung Fury - A Skin Deep Afair
To quote a friend of mine: "Kung Fury's tribute to camp 80s cinema was only really skin deep."
Kung Fury is...okay. It starts out strong, but it seems to not understand that part of a good parody is characters who play themselves straight in a world gone mad. Airplane! is a good example of that. Instead, the entire movie is spent going 'look how ridiculous is this!' I would've preferred it if it focused on being an eighties parody rather than a 'so-bad-it's-good' movie under the guise of an eighties parody.
While the idea of a Kung-Fu master Hitler is brought up, we don't actually see him do any Kung-Fu. This means that the climax isn't anything close to what I expected: Kung-Fu showdown between Kung-Fury and Kung-Furher. Instead, most of the kung-fu is against a bunch of Nazi mooks who don't really do anything but get killed, while Hitler himself is anything but a kung-fu master.
Kung-Fury himself isn't that interesting of a character, and most of the other characters rely on their 'ridiculous factor' rather than being characters (triceracop anyone?). The only one I can think that is a parody of a character from the eighties is Hackerman, because there are a lot of movies in the eighties where people hack in completely unrealistic ways.
Overall, it's worth the watch, but it feels unfocused. It should've either been a straight up kung-fu movie, or a straight up eighties parody, not a weird fusion of both.

Dear god. I didn't know what my life was lacking before I saw this movie. It's so ridiculous, so insane, so utterly over the top that I felt like my eyes were becoming inundated with the power of Kung Fu. The first thirty seconds absolutely sell it, and it just gets better from there. Who needs anything else when there's an explosion in the background every four seconds? For the love of [your choice of extranormal deity] and all that is holy, WATCH THIS MOVIE.
