Kung Fury 2015 Written and directed by David Sandberg. A Swedish Kickstarter funded film that pokes fun at the 80s martial arts cop movies. They raised $630K and produced a half hour long short.The IMDb says there is a Kung Fury 2 in post production.
As the movie opens Miami-Dade policemen Kung Fury, played by David Sandberg, and his partner Dragon are in an alley fighting a red ninja. The red ninja gets the drop on them and slices Dragon nearly in half. Kung Fury is then simultaneously struck by lightning and bitten by a cobra, he gains super kung fu powers.
The movie jumps ahead to 1985, Kung Fury's boss tries to hook him up with a partner. KF's not going to lose another partner, so he quits. Shortly after Hitler arrives in 1985 and slaughters many in the police station. KF goes after Hitler by going back in time. He winds up in the wrong time but manages to get some help from some Viking ladies and Thor. It's all out cray cray after that.
I laughed fairly often, they pack a lot of gags into a short time. There's a nice HD copy to watch on YouTube, see the link above. Probably not for everyone.
