* HilariousInHindsight: It's pretty interesting how two films came out within a short amount of time that both feature [[{{Film/Spy}} a character berating another character played by Björn Gustafsson to the point of crying]] [[spoiler:minutes before his death.]]

** After the announcement of ''VideoGame/HorizonZeroDawn'' and its {{Mechanical Monster}}s, a bunch of image macros started being posted of the "The explains the laser raptors" quote and tagged to ''Horizon: Zero Dawn''.

** Even the theme song gets in on this; "True Survivor" is nothing but Eighties-style lyrical cliches one after another, bordering on WordSaladLyrics.

* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: Some people noticed a strong resemblance with season 2 of ''Series/{{Danger5}}'' (as well as at least one gag being virtually identical to [[http://i.minus.com/ib2sQOenGVbjyP.gif one]] from the ''Danger 5'' pilot), but Kung Fury did it without the charm or wit of the Australian series.

* '''CrazyAwesome''': The film has gang members flipping a police car in the air with a skateboard. Viking babes with miniguns and riding dinosaurs. Velociraptors shooting laser from their eyes. Kung fu Nazis plus Hitler and just about every 80s cliché imaginable. Is it crazy? You bet. Is it awesome? Absolutely!
* EarWorm / AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTidn2dBYbY "True Survivor" by David Hasselhoff]], the official theme song of the movie.

Relinked the song Power Move because the previous one was a faster-paced version, whereas this one is as it\'s heard in the movie and OST

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: The tie-in game isn't ''bad'', per se, but it's basically a lesser rip-off of ''VideoGame/OneFingerDeathPunch''. Of course, it's also ''cheaper'' than ''One Finger Death Punch'', [[ThePoorMansSubstitute so, literally...]]
