      Take your pick. Be quick about it though, since they will all probably get copyright struck eventually.

        On a scale of 1-10 that trailer was 100. Fucking incredible. I had completely forgotten about Kung Fury so this brings back some great memories. So many plot twists. Arnold. The Hoff. Miami....

        Fucking incredible. I had completely forgotten about Kung Fury so this brings back some great memories. So many plot twists. Arnold. The Hoff. Miami. Hitler. The 80s. Triceracops. Hackerman. And the most devastatingly evil line in any movie ever: "That really nice heartfelt card I got you for your birthday was actually for somebody else". Brutal.

    I haven't hunted down the sizzle reel yet but I've been praying for years this thing makes it out of legal limbo. Kung Fury is the hero the world needs, now more than ever.

    I only discovered the original short film recently and I don't know how I missed out on it the first time around.

    Does anyone know the specific legal issues that the release is running into?

      After principal photography on “Kung Fury 2” wrapped in late 2019 following shoots in Bulgaria and Germany, post-production work stopped the following year due to a lawsuit between the producers and the film’s Chinese investors Creasun. In late 2020, a lawsuit was filed against Creasun Entertainment USA, the LA-arm of Creasun Media, accusing it of not paying $10 million that it promised, effectively shutting down the production. At the time, Creasun asserted that the lawsuit was meritless and filed because it had exercised its contractual rights to takeover the film. Variety understands there has been little movement on the project since then.

      From what I recently read, apparently their financial backer didn't deliver all of the contractually agreed upon funds and they were left with no money to finalize the production post-filming....

    Y'know… I really have shaken my head at Bollywood stuff, but maybe now I get it - because it occurred to me that that's what this basically is. And I'm here for it. lol
