Kung Fury - full-length feature film

[cinemaphile]

Back in 2015, David Sandberg‘s 80s pop culture-obsessed short action-comedy film Kung Fury made waves across the Web for its over-the-top weirdness and insane action sequences. A few short years later and]not only is Kung Fury now prepping to become a feature film, it’s got Oscar-nominated actor Michael Fassbender signed on for the starring role.

Variety reports that Fassbender will star as the title character–yes, his name is Kung Fury–a police officer in 1985 Miami’s “Thundercops” police force. He’ll be joined by David Hasselhoff, who returns after appearing in the original short. Sandberg will direct, star in, and produce the feature which aims to start shooting this summer.

The feature film will be set in 1985 in Miami, which is kept safe under the watchful eye of the police officer Kung Fury through his Thundercops police force. After the tragic death of a Thundercop causes the group to disband, a mysterious villain emerges from the shadows to aid in the Fuhrer’s quest to attain the ultimate weapon.
