A bashful compilation of knocking out cheesy, yet super rad, 80's clichés in an uninterrupted flow of awesomeness. These filmmakers know how to make a satirical tribute to the tee. In fact, it reflects our actual perception of the 80's, how something can be so cheesy and awesome at the same time - a paradoxical wonder of nature!
The majority of the film's elements are nonsensical. The story progresses, not on the premiss of action/reaction in conflict, creating meaningful change, but instead on the premiss that "the 80's did it", no matter how aimlessly the story progresses and events occur. That's the beauty of the film; just sit back, relax and be prepared to laugh.
I think the real reason this film works is thanks to it's own self-awareness. The filmmakers knew exactly what they were doing. That's the reason why they could go berserk with everything 80's, with the confidence that they were creating something interesting, some might even say "something great".
I do not want to disclose the plot for you who haven't watched it yet. It's better to be surprised by all the random and ridiculously flamboyant elements of the story. And I really do recommend this film to all of the 80's lovers out there.
All in all, "Kung Fury" was an amazingly rad film, in my opinion.
Great job! 7/10
