->''"I'm a cop, from the future!"''

''Kung Fury'' is an over-the-top action comedy ShortFilm written and directed by David Sandberg and funded by Website/{{Kickstarter}}. The movie features: arcade-robots, dinosaurs, Nazis, Vikings, Norse gods, mutants and a super kung-fu cop called Kung Fury, all wrapped up in an '80s style action packed adventure. The film was released for free on May 28, 2015 on Platform/YouTube and Platform/{{Steam}}.

During an unfortunate series of events, Kung Fury (a Kung Fu CowboyCop) loses nearly his entire precinct to the most dangerous kung fu master criminal of all time; UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, a.k.a. Kung Führer. Because he was hit by lightning and bitten by a cobra at the same time, which would have killed any normal human, Kung Fury has become a kung fu master and a threat to Hitler's power. Kung Fury decides to travel back in time, to Nazi Germany, in order to kill Hitler and end the Nazi empire once and for all.

[[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kungfury/kung-fury Here's its Kickstarter page]] and its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72RqpItxd8M trailer.]]

It has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTidn2dBYbY music video,]] featuring Creator/DavidHasselhoff, as well as a video game adaptation called ''Kung Fury: Street Rage''.

Kung Fury was a part of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Cannes_Film_Festival#Directors.27_Fortnight "Director's Fortnight"]] section of the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.

For Russians, Dmitry "Goblin" Puchkov did a voiceover translation of the film, ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice-over_translation#In_Russia Gavrilov-style]]''. It is available [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMj4rSYK_38 here]] and officially endorsed by the authors. ''Warning:'' features appropriate Russian swearing.

In the [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kungfury/kung-fury/posts/1436467 29th May 2016 Kickstarter update,]] a photograph of the ''Kung Fury II'' script was shown. Nearly two years later, Creator/MichaelFassbender and Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger were cast for the film. While filming on the sequel wrapped in 2019, it is, as of this writing, stuck in post-production, due to a lawsuit over one of the film's investors having failed to pay their part of the budget. In May 2021, a 2022 release date was announced. The release was then pushed further back, but was eventually confirmed to happen on November 17, 2023. However, the film continues to reside in DevelopmentHell past the announced release date.
----
!!This film provides examples of:

* FiveFiveFive: Kung Fury's phone number is 555-4385. Call it using a revolutionary personal transportable cellular telephone.
* TheEighties: Includes all the major themes of the 80s: fluffy hair, arcades, robots, he-man-style barbarians, {{ninja}}s, [[BadassesWearBandanas bandanas]], cops, [[CoolCar lamborghinis]], [[CowboyCop renegade cops]] that [[IWorkAlone work alone]] then [[TurnInYourBadge quit]], completely hokey computers [[MagicalComputer that can do anything]], synth soundtracks, a [[EnforcedPlug product placement infomercial]], corny {{pun}}s, [[DeliberateVHSQuality VHS tracking]], [[RatedMForManly hyper-violence]] and Creator/DavidHasselhoff.
* AdolfHitlarious: Kung Führer. Supposedly the greatest Kung Fu Master of all time [[spoiler:but actually a DirtyCoward.]]
* AffectionateParody: It delivers all the awesome parts of the '80s... and takes them way past the point of absurdity.
* AnachronismStew: Done for absurd effect. The Viking Babes wield machine guns and ride dinosaurs; Barbarianna uses a minigun, while Katana wields an Uzi.
** [[GeniusBonus One particular example]]: When Hackerman hacks Kung Fury back in time, the code that appears on screen is clearly Java, which wasn't released to the public until 1996.
*** Although this is justified, as he's a [[TimeTravel time traveler]].
** The arcade machine 'bot punches Kung Fury into the side of the Hubble Space Telescope. It wouldn't be in orbit until 1990.
** The police chief remarks at one point, [[DeliberateValuesDissonance "I've got the mayor up my ass like a fag on Viagra!"]] -- a drug not yet put on the market until '98.
** When sending Kung Fury back in time, Hackerman wears a Power Glove which wasn't released until 1989 – four years after the events of the movie.
** Thor makes a pun on the title of an Music/MCHammer song which wouldn't be released until 1990.
* AndKnowingIsHalfTheBattle: The group breaks into hugs and friendly handshakes after the final fight, with Dinomite, Barbarianna's t-rex, delivering an important lesson about [[ThePowerOfFriendship friendship]] and [[TeamSpirit teamwork]].
* AndStarring: Triceratops as Triceracop.
* AnswerCut: When Fury asks Katana what they will be using to get to Asgard, the scene cuts to them riding on the back of a T. rex.
* ArcSymbol: Parodied with the swastika, specifically when Kung Fury [[spoiler:notices that the Arcade Machine had one]]. He says that he knew he saw the symbol before, and there's a pseudo-buildup as he recalls the other times he saw it. Anyone with even the slightest knowledge of history would immediately recognize what it is.
* ArcWords: "Fuck you."
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Somehow, the ninja master is able to cut Kung-Fury's old partner almost completely in half BUT the tongue... which is still somehow wagging.
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Parodied. Laser-eye raptors and a T-rex in UsefulNotes/TheVikingAge, and a triceratops cop in the [='80s=].
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: One intended by RuleOfFunny, one probably not, you need FreezeFrameBonus for both. When the Java code finally compiles, E=mc[[superscript:2]] turns into E=mc[[superscript:3]]. There is a giant bug in the code, though: Math.power(m*c,2) would evaluate to m[[superscript:2]]c[[superscript:2]].
** Even Hackerman shouldn't be above using J-Unit... [[FridgeBrilliance Perhaps these bugs and errors are why Kung Fury ends up too far back in time.]]
* ArtShift: After [[spoiler:Kung Fury is gunned down by Kung Fuhrer's [[HiddenWeapons hidden]] [[GatlingGood minigun]], the scene where [[spoiler:he is in Heaven facing his Spirit Animal Cobra]] is shot like a vintage 80s cartoon.
* AsideGlance: Done by [[spoiler:Cobra when Kung Fury thinks heaven looks real, ArtShift notwithstanding.]]
* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: The scene with the Nazi guards is spoken in a weird but hilarious mix between Swedish and a few poor attempts at German that are still basically Swedish words "German-ified".
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Kung Fury recovers from a machine gun-induced death thanks to Hackerman's abilities.]]
* BackToBackBadasses: The Vikings gunning down the Nazi troops.
* BadassCape: The Vikings.
* BadassCrew: Well, we have [[TheChosenOne Kung Fury]], ''[[Myth/NorseMythology Thor]]'', a t-rex, two vikings with firearms, Hackerman [[HollywoodHacking turned into a giant fighting robot]] and [[ItMakesSenseInContext Triceracop]], [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext a walking, talking]], [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin triceratop cop]].
* BadassDriver: Kung Fury.
* BadassesWearBandanas: Fury picks up the kung fu master's headband [[IconicAttributeAdoptionMoment when he transforms into his new persona]].
* BadassNormal: Despite being an anthropomorphic dinosaur, Triceracop is this. He has no superpowers, especially compared to his teammates, only his service pistol. He still more than holds his own and [[spoiler:takes out a large portion of the Nazi army solely by [[GroinAttack shooting them in the groin]].]]
* BaritoneOfStrength: Fury's growling voice adds to his badassery.
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Kung Fury can fight in space.
* BehindTheBlack: When the two German guards wonder where their tank went, a wide shot reveals that Fury is standing right beside them with the tank raised up in the air.
* BicepKiss: Thor kisses his biceps when he shows off his epic muscles.
* BigBad: UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler, the Kung Führer, is the main target of the titular Kung Fury, who goes back in time to kill him and thus prevent him from murdering the police chief.
* BigDamnHeroes:
** Barbarianna comes to Kung Fury's rescue when she kills the attacking laser raptor.
** [[spoiler:Triceracop, Hackerman, Thor, Barbarianna, and Katana all show up to help Kung Fury when he's wounded in his battle with Hitler.]]
* BilingualBonus:
** One of Hitler's mooks bemoans the loss of his family jewels in surprisingly good German. ("Meine Familienjuwelen!")
** The names of the Nazi officers are Reichstache and Lahmstache, which are mixed German and English and roughly mean "Empire 'stache" and "Lame 'stache". (And the first is obviously a pun with "Reichstag".)
* BloodyHilarious: Two persons get their heads blown up by the Arcade Machine. And that's only the start.
* BodySled: During the fight with a lot of Nazis, Kung Fury just pushes one on the ground and rides his body like a skateboard.
* BondOneLiner: Kung Fury is just full of these.
** "Tank you," says Fury, after smashing two Nazis with a tank.
** ''(rips off a Nazi's arms)'' "[[LiteralDisarming I'm disarming you.]]"
** "You don't need that spine." ''(tears off the Nazi's spine)'' "[[{{Pun}} It's holding you back.]]"
** From the music video: "Permit: Denied" after Hasselhoff killed some thugs who tried to blow up his car in response to him asking for a gun permit.
* BookEnds: Kung Fury both starts and ends in 1985 Miami. In a fight with the arcade machine, the beginning has Kung Fury successfully shoot down the machine. At the end of the movie, Kung Fury attempts to shoot the same machine after [[TimeTravel returning from 1945]], only to find Swastika symbols on the machine, hinting that Adolf Hitler has indeed arrived in 1985.
* BottomlessMagazines: Used regularly, though Triceracop runs out of ammo once.
** Averted by the arcade machine's lasers. At one point it runs out of credits and raids a nearby parking meter for quarters.
* BrawnHilda: Katana has this strong, mannish look.
* TheCameo: Swedish comedians Magnus Betnér and Björn Gustafsson as the Nazis discussing moustaches.
** Not to mention David Hasselhoff as [[Series/KnightRider the voice of Fury's car]].
* CaptainObvious:
** Kung Fury could tell immediately that his partner was dead, after [[spoiler:he was cut in half by the kung fu master.]]
** When Kung Fury's girlfriend massages his arm, he says: "Yeah. That's my bicep."
* CatchPhrase:
-->'''[Random character]:''' "What are you gonna do?" \\
'''Kung Fury:''' "My job."
* TheCavalryArrivesLate: Despite using time travel, reinforcements somehow arrive only after [[spoiler:Kung Führer has gunned down Kung Fury]].
* ChainmailBikini: Everyone in the viking age wear {{Stripperiffic}} armor, including the Viking babes and [[WalkingShirtlessScene Thor]]. The Viking babes wear skimpy armor that shows skin around the stomach, although Barbarianna's is mostly covered by her belt.
* TheChosenOne: Kung Fury.
* ChunkyUpdraft: Kung Fury does this during the animated sequence.
* ClickHello: How Hitler announces himself to the phone guy at the harbor.
* CombatPragmatist:
** Hitler is a Kung-Fu master. [[spoiler:So he conceals a minigun in his famous podium just in case any time-traveling renegade cops from the future show up.]]
** Triceracop just carries a pistol; [[spoiler:in the battle against Hitler's army he uses it to shoot Nazis [[GroinAttack in the dick]] and ''only'' the dick. Needless to say it's pretty effective.]]
*** [[spoiler:Except for the one Nazi who catches on and covers his crotch with his hands. That guy he shoots in both shoulders so he moves his hands, ''then'' shoots in the dick.]]
* ConservationOfNinjutsu: When Kung Fury is fighting Hitler's minions.
* CoolCar: Kung Fury's [[RedOnesGoFaster Lamborghini Countach]], the Viking Babe's [=DeLorean=]. Well, anything goes in a movie in which everything except for the characters and a few props is CGI.
* CowboyCop: Kung Fury, although he prefers "renegade cop".
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: After Triceracop incapacitates several Nazis by [[GroinAttack shooting them in the dick]], one unlucky soldier tries to cover his groin with his hands. He's shot once in each shoulder, disabling his arms so his groin is exposed, is ''promptly'' shot in the dick, and to top it off [[spoiler:gets eaten by a Tyrannosaurus Rex.]]
* DaChief: Kung Fury's boss, complete with yelling at him for being a DestructiveSavior because of pressure from the mayor.
* DeadlyDodging: Kung Fury allows one Mook to fly-kick right over him into another mook in the FoeTossingCharge.
* DeadPartner: We see the flashback in which Kung Fury's partner gets killed, and it's why he [[IWorkAlone doesn't want to work with Triceracop]].
* DeathIsCheap: [[spoiler:Kung Fury badasses himself back to life by almost kicking out his spirit animal, Cobra. Although it's unknown if that would actually work as Cobra himself said that he couldn't help, but Hackerman turns out to be the one to save him in the end.]]
* DeliberateVHSQuality: The whole film looks like it's from a heavily-worn VHS tape. Tracking issues even interrupt the opening fight scene, obscuring it.
* DestructiveSavior: Kung Fury's fight with the Arcade Machine deals $50 million worth of damages, including an entire city block.
* DeusExMachina: Thor. Twice.
* DiagonalCut: When Fury's partner gets [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe cut in half]] in the line of duty, we only hear a woosh sound and then see his back part slowly sliding off.
* DiegeticSwitch: Inverted at least three times[[note]]twice when people walk in front of the arcade and once during a sequence consisting of shots of Miami[[/note]]. In each of them, the quality of the BackgroundMusic decreases as a radio is shown, and it becomes SourceMusic.
* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:Once his army's been wiped out, Hitler nervously tries to bargain for his life.]]
* TheDitz: The man who's talking on a telephone [[spoiler:which Hitler will steal]] happily announces he has done a blood test and the result is positive. (This is probably a reference to HIV.) The woman he's talking to isn't happy to hear it.
* DullSurprise: Both Fury and the Barbarians.
* EEqualsMCHammer: The famous formula flashes by a few times on Hackerman's screens, including [[GeniusBonus in code form]]. The code even elevates the formula to E = mc³.
* EnforcedPlug: When saying goodbye to the Viking babes, Kung Fury also has enough time to advertise a brand new "Personal, transportable, cellular telephone" he just happened to have for them to use to call him...despite being on the edge of the lake in an age before electricity became a power source.
* EstablishingSeriesMoment: The second a guy flips a police car using his skateboard tells you pretty much everything you need to know about the movie's tone and pure insanity.
* EverybodyLaughsEnding: After [[spoiler:(temporarily) defeating Hitler]], Kung Fury says he's got to do a lot of paperwork. This makes everyone laugh.
* EverybodyWasKungFuFighting: Including ''Hitler''.
* EveryCarIsAPinto: The cop car with the cop inside explodes in a big ball of fire in mid-air after being shot by the three street gangsters. Kung Fury later sends the killer of his partner through a fuel truck with explosive results.
* EverythingIsOnline: Hackerman can hack anything, including bullet wounds and time.
* EyeBeams: The Laser Raptors can shoot lasers from their eyes.
* FemaleGaze: When Thor is summoned, the camera spends some time focusing on his pecs.
-->'''Fury:''' [[LampshadeHanging Your pecs are epic.]]\\
'''Thor:''' Thanks, bro.
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Explicitly invoked by Hitler. Unsuccessfully.
* FiringOneHanded: The three gangsters. Also, the Viking Babe with her [[MoreDakka Uzi]].
* {{Flashback}}: The death of Kung Fury's partner is shown again when his boss assigns him a new one.
* FlatCharacter:
** Kung Fury seems to have little to him besides a steely gaze, dedication to justice, and love of making puns while killing people.
** The Viking babes, being there mainly for fanservice, get even ''less'' characterization.
* FlippingTheBird: The arcade machine robot fires its lasers by doing this.
* FlyAtTheCameraEnding: [[spoiler:Done by Adolf Hitler.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** [[spoiler:Thor's hammer can send people through time. Being hit by it is how Hitler ended up in the '80s.]]
** After one fight, Kung Fury feels a cobra bite, and later it is revealed [[spoiler:his spirit animal is a cobra]].
* FreezeFrameIntroduction: The movie introduces many characters with a freeze frame, such as [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler Kung Führer]], Hackerman, Barbarianna and the title character himself.
* FullMoonSilhouette: Arcade Machine and Kung Fury are shown fighting in front of a giant full moon.
* FunnyAnimal: [[spoiler:Cobra, Kung Fury's spirit animal.]]
* GangstaStyle: When the three street thugs kill the cop at the beginning, the foremost one holds his gun sideways.
* GasMaskMooks: All the Nazi mooks at the rally are wearing gas masks.
* GatlingGood: Barbarianna [[spoiler:and Kung Fuhrer.]]
* GenreThrowback: To 80s Action and Kung-Fu films.
* {{Gorn}}: Played straight in the scene with the arcade machine killing two people, and later when Kung Fury's partner dies, but is surprisingly downplayed for the rest of the movie.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: After he [[LiteralMinded disarms]] a Nazi mook, Kung Fury knocks the mook out with the same arm.
* GroinAttack: Kung Fury dishes out a few, including to Kung Führer. Not only does Triceracop deal ''exclusively'' in these, you can [[FreezeFrameBonus briefly]] see him enthusiastically approving of the groin punch to Hitler.
* GunsAkimbo: A "Lazor Invader" arcade machine robot wields two ray guns.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Fury's partner gets split in half right down the middle by the kung fu master.
* HardWorkMontage: Hackerman sending and Kung Fury traveling back in time.
* HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: Hackerman.
* HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct: Doesn't apply to Kung Fu Renegade Cops. Or maybe it does. [[spoiler:WordOfGod says that the story is a StableTimeLoop -- Kung Fury's attempt to kill Hitler accidentally sends Hitler forward in time to 1985, leading to the shooting incident that inspired Kung Fury to kill Hitler.]]
* HollywoodHacking: Hackerman specializes in this. "With the right computer algorithms, I can ''hack'' you [[TimeTravel back in time]], just like a TimeMachine." Hacking can also heal bullet wounds, revive the dead, and turn himself into a robot with a laser gun.
* HornyVikings: The Viking chicks that Kung Fury meets once he travels back in time have horned helmets.
* HurricaneOfPuns: Kung Fury's [[BondOneLiner Bond One-Liners]].
* HyperCompetentSidekick: Hackerman can hack time and space, bring people back to life and turn himself into a massive robot, all of that with old-timey computer hardware and a Nintendo power glove
* IconicAttributeAdoptionMoment: The flashback to when Fury puts on the red bandana to complete his transformation.
* ImpactSilhouette: The mook who leaves a perfect bloody swastika.
* ImprobableAimingSkills:
** Kung Fury shoots the rampaging arcade machine from atop his Lamborghini. While it's flying through the air at high speed. From a distance of probably several hundred yards. With a ''pistol''. WITHOUT HITTING THE HOSTAGE.
** Triceracop shoots ''exclusively'' [[GroinAttack between the legs]] with great accuracy, and in case the target tries to cover himself there, he'll first disable his arms.
* InformedAbility: Hitler is supposed to be the Kung Führer, the greatest martial artist of Nazi Germany. But he never actually fights using martial arts.
* InstantFlightJustAddSpinning: Kung Fury turns a dismembered arm into an impromptu helicopter rotor by spinning it.
* IWorkAlone: Kung Fury doesn't want to work with Triceracop due to his last partner being killed by the Kung Fu master.
* KickTheDog: Arcade Machine is about to kill a helpless puppy before Kung Fury arrives to kick his ass.
* KnockKnockJoke: Kung Fury tells one to the kung fu master, too bad he hadn't thought of a good punchline.
-->'''Kung Fury''': Knock knock.\\
'''Kung fu master''': Who's there?\\
'''Kung Fury''': Kno... uckles.
* KungFoley: Pretty much to be expected.
* LightningCanDoAnything:
** Part of how Kung Fury got his Kung-Fu powers was that he got struck by lightning and then bitten by a cobra at the same time.
** Thor's lightning can open portals through time, but then Thor ''is'' a god.
* LikeASonToMe: Inverted -- Kung Fury says that his first partner is like a father to him.
* LiteralDisarming: When Kung Fury rips a Nazi mook's arm off.
-->"[[BondOneLiner I'm disarming you.]]"
* LudicrousGibs: Surprisingly downplayed during the film proper, but played straight in the ''True Survivor'' lyric video
* MeaningfulEcho: Dragon tells Kung Fury he's the best partner he's ever had. Later, Kung Fury says the same words to Triceracop.
* MeteorMove: Kung Fury defeats the kung fu master by launching him high into the air, then knocking him down into a fuel truck.
* MinorityPoliceOfficer: Triceracop seems to be the only anthropomorphic dinosaur at the precinct.
* MookChivalry: Exaggerated. Fury walks into a warehouse full of literally hundreds, if not thousands, of Nazis, who proceed to come at him in penny packets for him to stylishly and easily defeat while their fellows aimlessly mill about in the background. It's not clear whether it would have actually ''helped'', mind.
* MsFanservice: The Viking Babes thanks to their {{Breast Plate}}s.
* NeverBringAKnifeToAFistFight: The kung fu master charges the newly-empowered Kung Fury with a katana but gets beaten with fists and feet.
* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:When Hitler and his giant robot eagle get hammered by Thor, they accidentally get transported to Kung Fury's time. Sure enough, they're back to mess with the present again.]]
* {{Ninja}}: The kung fu master responsible for killing Kung Fury's first partner.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Kung Fu Cops. Kung Fu Ninja Masters. Kung Fu Nazis. Dinosaur Cops. Laser raptors. Machine Gun Viking Babes. Robot hackers. Golden robot eagles. Need we say more?
* NoAnimalsWereHarmed: Parodied in the credits: "No dinosaurs were extinct in the making of this movie."
* NonIndicativeName: Viking babe [[KatanasAreJustBetter Katana]] wields an Uzi.
* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: What Cobra appears to be in the end. Note that he never actually does anything evil, Fury [[IdiotHero just mistook]] ''[[IdiotHero his own spirit animal]]'' [[IdiotHero for a villain, even after he told Fury that he couldn't help him escape]].
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Parodied. Kung Führer makes some not-very-convincing attempts at using this on Kung Fury.
-->'''Hitler''': Killing people, I love it. ''(gestures at the room full of dead mooks)'' You clearly do, too!
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Kung Fury's fight with the Arcade Machine skips between scenes (by means of poor VHS recording-style [[InstantMysteryJustDeleteScene futzing out]]) to increasingly ridiculous locales, eventually ending with them in space.
* OffscreenTeleportation: Triceracop suddenly appears in DaChief's office when called for, even though he wasn't there a moment ago. In a rare moment in this movie, a rational explanation is hinted at -- the door to the Chief's office is right behind Kung Fury, and the sound of a door opening can be heard while the camera faces away from Kung Fury to allow Triceracop's 'teleportation'.
* OffWithHisHead: Kung Fury kicks off a Nazi mook's head, and tears another out with his bare hands.
* OhCrap: Hackerman lets out an "Oh no!" when the attempt to hack Kung Fury back in time to Nazi Germany goes wrong.
* OneManArmy: Kung Fury and company are ''all'' this. [[spoiler:They manage to wipe out the entire Nazi army by themselves.]]
* OnlyInFlorida: Done subtly: the only indication that the movie takes place in UsefulNotes/{{Florida}} are "[[OnlyInMiami Miami 1985]]" caption and some establishing shots of UsefulNotes/{{Miami}}, but [[RefugeInAudacity considering the plot]] [[SerialEscalation of the movie...]]
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Almost all of the dialogue in the film features heavy ADR to cover up the Swedish actors' natural inflections; naturally, this just makes it even cheesier. Per-Henrik Arvidius as the Chief and Leopold Nilsson as Hackerman, in particular, seem to be NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent.
* ParodyCommercial: Kung Fury's telephone advertisement in the Viking age.
* PecFlex: Thor shows off his epic pecs.
* PedalToTheMetalShot: A shot of Kung Fury hitting the gas pedal of his Lamborghini when racing to fight Arcade Machine.
* PedestrianCrushesCar: The Arcade Machine remains unmoved when a crash crashes into it in the street.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: It wouldn't be a parody of TheEighties without a lesson in one, delivered by a T-Rex no less.
* PreMortemOneLiner:
** Just before Kung Fury destroys the killer arcade machine, he says "Game over."
** "You don't need that spine... it's holding you back."
* ProtagonistTitle: Kung Fury is his actual name. [[JustifiedTrope He legally changed it when he got Kung-Fu powers.]]
* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Kung Fury punches the ninja who killed his partner across the alley and against a wall.
* PunnyName: Pretty much everyone with a name — up to and including Kung Fury's car [=Hoff9000=].
* RampJump: Kung Fury in his Lamborghini.
* RankScalesWithAsskicking: Adolf Hitler is supposedly the greatest Kung Fu Master of all time... [[spoiler:at least until all of his guys are dead, at which point he completely wimps out.]]
* RapidFireTyping: Hackerman prepping Kung Fury's time travel. At one point his fingers are actually just drumming across the home row and the following screenshot does in fact show home row gibberish.
* RaptorAttack: The ''Velociraptor'' in the Viking Age is large, scaly and [[RuleOfCool has laser eyes]].
* ReachingBetweenTheLines: Hitler attacks the police station by calling the police chief and firing his pistol into the phone, causing bullets to exit the other end.
* RecklessGunUsage: [[MundaneUtility Kung Fury uses his sidearm to open his car's door]].
* {{Retraux}} / StylisticSuck: The entire film is given a deliberate chromatic aberration effect, and [[DeliberateVHSQuality simulated]] VHS glitches and tracking errors are sprinkled throughout. Everybody overacts intentionally.
* RuleOfCool / RuleOfFunny: The film runs on them. It ''starts'' with a gang of delinquents flipping a police car into the air with a skateboard, then blowing it up with small arms fire.
* RuleOfSeven: In Nazi Germany, Kung Fury's team consists of seven characters: Triceracop, Hackerman, Barbarianna, Katana, Thor, a Tyrannosaurus rex, and Kung Fury himself.
* RuleOfThree: The film takes place in three eras: the Viking era, Nazi Germany in the 1940s, and 1980s Miami.
* SceneryPorn:
** The Viking scene begins with the camera panning across lakes and mountains.
** The [[{{Retraux}} '80s-style]] "landscapes" in drawn and computer-generated-looking [[spoiler:death and]] time travel scenes.
* SequelHook: [[spoiler:Hitler is still in the present day, with his robot eagle as well, which neatly sets up for the follow-up.]]
* ShoutOut:
** The ''Laser Unicorns'' arcade game is flanked by ''VideoGame/TrackAndField'', ''VideoGame/{{TRON}}'', ''VideoGame/MissileCommand'', and ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong''.
** Speaking of Film/{{Tron}}, the way Hackerman kills people looks similar to how programs died in the original and Tron: Legacy.
** Hitler with [[VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D a minigun, huh?]]
** Creator/DavidHasselhoff voices [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey HOFF9000]], Kung Fury's [[Series/KnightRider talking car]].
--->'''Kung Fury''': Open the doors, HOFF.\\
'''[=HOFF9000=]''': I'm sorry, Fury, I can't let you do that.
** When Kung Fury is arguing with [=HOFF9000=], the red light reflected on his shades makes him look like he has a Franchise/{{Terminator}}'s GlowingEyesOfDoom.
** Thor tells people to [[Music/MCHammer stop, Hammer Time]].
** [[spoiler:Kung Fury's spirit animal Cobra]] is a gold cobra in a cape and on a flying jetski, just like [[WesternAnimation/GIJoe Serpentor]].
** The fight scenes against the Nazi hordes are an impressive replica of ''WebAnimation/XiaoXiao 3''.]]
** Said fight also has Kung Fury tear the head and spine of a Nazi soldier right out of them, pretty much exactly like [[Franchise/MortalKombat Sub-Zero's Fatality]].
** The way the T-Rex eats a Nazi is reminiscent of a famous death scene in ''Film/JurassicPark''.
** The ''Laser Unicorns'' arcade game is named after the company that produced the film.
** The robot forms of Hackerman and the arcade game look like 1980s {{Franchise/Transformers}}.
** Hackerman wears a [[{{Creator/Nintendo}} Power Glove]] in the hacking scene.
** One of the songs in the soundtrack is named "Franchise/{{Terminat|or}}hor".
** The screech of Hitler's robot eagle, Reichsadler, [[https://youtu.be/bS5P_LAqiVg?t=28m56s coupled with guitar riffs,]] is straight out of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzAQu23t19A the intro]] to ''WesternAnimation/{{Silverhawks}}''.
** The [[spoiler:afterlife]] world is drawn in a style similar to ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983''.
** Kung Fury states that [[Series/{{Renegade}} he's a cop and good at his job]].
** The name "Barbarianna" is a nod to the equally stripperific heroine of ''Film/{{Barbarella}}''.
** Barbarianna is an expy of Anime/PrincessMononoke with her TribalFacePaint and riding a wolf.
* SlowNo: Fury lets one out in the flashback after his partner gets killed.
* SoBadItsGood: Deliberately {{invoked}}. The entire thing is a throwback to 1980s action movie cliches, all of them [[ExaggeratedTrope turned up to eleven]]. Even the theme song gets in on this; "True Survivor" is nothing but Eighties-style lyrical cliches one after another, bordering on WordSaladLyrics.
* SpiritAdvisor: Kung Fury's is a cobra.
* SssssnakeTalk: Parodied with Cobra who has a [[SpeechImpediment lisp]].
* StableTimeLoop: When Hitler murdered half of Kung Fury's precinct in 1985, Kung Fury decided to go back to the 1940s to kill him first. [[spoiler:That battle ended with Hitler being struck by Thor's hammer, which knocked him into a time portal that transported him to 1985, which is why he was able to attack the precinct in the first place.]]
* StationIdent:
** The version of ''Kung Fury'' shown in Sweden starts with SVT 1's late-'80s ident, thus confusing viewers who were watching it when first shown…on SVT ''2''.
** The Brazilian version starts with the ID for fictional TV network [[https://youtu.be/ekwnAh-4WYc?t=2m57s Rede Clone.]]
* StockShoutOuts: [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey HOFF9000]]'s lines that are variations of the phrase "I'm afraid I can't let you do that."
* StupidJetpackHitler: Parodied. In this movie, the Nazis experiment with [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke genetic engineering]] and [[WalkingTank bipedal mecha]] not to gain straight-up military advantage, but to gain insight into the art of kung-fu. The entirety of Nazi Germany also seems to have been transformed into a giant factory hangar, and every single soldier (except for the two guards outside) is wearing a [[GasMaskMook gas mask]].
* StylisticSuck: The fight between Kung Fury and the arcade deathbot skips scenes because of "bad VHS quality". Anyone who remembers VHS tapes will recognize that horrid static anywhere. Can also count towards the intentionally bland acting and occasionally blatant chroma key scenes.
* SuddenVideoGameMoment:
** After Kung Fury gets Hacked into {{Cyberspace}}, the screen [[MediumBlending shows him and his location as a pixelated video game world]].
** When Kung Fury fights the Nazis at the rally, the scene plays out like a FightingGame.
* SummonBiggerFish: Kung Fury's plea with Barbarianna to help him causes her to summon [[Myth/NorseMythology Thor, the God of Thunder]], to help them kill Hitler and the Nazis.
* SunglassesAtNight: Kung Fury wears sunglasses while speeding through the night in his Lamborghini.
* SuperStrength: Kung Fury can lift a tank by the barrel of its cannon without breaking a sweat.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The movie primes the audience into just accepting kung fu as being the be-all, end-all of combat, when Hitler reveals his [[HiddenWeapons secret]] [[GatlingGood gatling gun]] and fills an area with more bullets than oxygen molecules, the fact it [[spoiler: kills Kung Fury]] is played as a surprise. Of course, nothing that comes after this is remotely realistic, making the CombatPragmatist efficacy stand out all the more.
* TailSlap: The T. rex does this when fighting the robotic Reichsadler.
* TalkingAnimal: [[spoiler:The T. rex that follows the Viking babes to Nazi Germany]] can talk, but it only opens its mouth once so that it can remind the audience about the importance of teamwork.
* TechnicolorScience: A beaker full of glowing, red "Kung fu DNA".
* TechnoBabble: Hackerman's description how he can send Kung Fury back in time.
--> '''Hackerman''': Wait a minute. Using an RX modulator, I might be able to conduct a mainframe cell layer and hack the uplink to the download.\\
'''Kung Fury''': What the hell does ''that'' mean? \\
'''Hackerman''': It means that with the right computer algorithms, I can hack you back in time. Just like a time machine.
* TechnologyPorn: Hackerman has desks full of computers and related equipment, which are also shown in a montage. Later in the film, there is a parody telephone commercial describing the features of the phone. Of course, these can count as parody, because [[TechnologyMarchesOn most of this technology has become obsolete]].
* TechnoWizard: Hackerman. He often facilitates Kung Fury's adventures [[RealityWarper by hacking space and time itself]].
* TeleportGun: Thor's hammer is able to create portals suitable for time-travelling.
* ThereWasADoor:
** Kung Fury bursts through the wall of his apartment in the opening.
** Kung Fury drives a hijacked tank through the wall of the building holding the Nazi rally.
* ThoseWackyNazis: Take a wild guess.
* ThreePointLanding: Arcade Machine performs this landing motion when he bursts out of the arcade. Kung Fury does it during his fight with the Nazis after dropping from his arm propeller.
* TimeMachine: The vortexes that work as portals through time and space.
* TimeTravelersDinosaur: Played for laughs. Kung Fury tries to travel back in time to [=WW2=] to stop Hitler, but ends up overshooting it. He arrives at a rocky valley and is immediately attacked by a raptor... that shoots lasers from its mouth. Kung Fury is confused by this... because Lazer Raptors went extinct thousands of years ago. He is then saved by a minigun-wielding barbarian woman, who explains that he's arrived in the Viking age, which he thinks explains the presence of the Lazer Raptor.
* {{Troperiffic}}: Look at those sheer masses of tropes squeezed into a half-hour film. ''On purpose''.
* TurnInYourBadge: When DaChief tells Kung Fury to work with Triceracop or [[TakenOffTheCase stop working on the case]], Kung Fury surrenders his badge.
-->'''Fury:''' ''[throwing down his badge]'' I'm not "off the case", I ''quit!''
* UnflinchingWalk: Kung Fury does it after blowing up the Arcade Machine.
* UnfriendlyFire: [[spoiler:Kung Führer's hidden minigun]] also guns down a few Nazi mooks.
* VocalDissonance: Triceracop has a very cultured, smooth voice complete with a posh British accent despite being... well, a bipedal ''Triceratops''.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Thor's chest is exposed.
* WeCanRuleTogether: [[spoiler:Hitler tries to make this offer to Kung Fury when the latter has the former cornered. You can probably guess how that went for him.]]
* WhamLine: [[spoiler:In heaven, Cobra says to Kung Fury, "You're dead!" twice.]] Parodied, as it's repeated with an overly dramatic echo effect applied both times.
* WhatYearIsThis: Fury asks Barbarianna this question when he pops out in the dinosaur era.
* WhoAreYou: Fury asks this question when Barbarianna shows up in the past.
* WimpFight: The T-rex and robot eagle flailing their tiny limbs at each other.
* WingShield: The Reichsadler protects itself with its wings from Triceracop's bullets.
* WorldOfBadass: Street gangsters able to catapult a police cruiser dozens of feet through the air, living arcade cabinets with laser guns, Viking babes with uzis and miniguns riding on dinosaurs, velociraptors with eye lasers, Kung Fu Hitler, a badass kung fu cop, and of course David Hasselhoff.
* WorldOfHam: Everybody overacts, barring the [[FlatCharacter Viking]] [[{{Fanservice}} babes]]. Even Kung Fury's underacting is overacted.
* YouKillItYouBoughtIt: Kung Fury speculates that Kung Führer wants to kill him so he can become the new Kung Fury.
