Filming doesn’t start until this summer, but our love for the Hoff and his ‘Kung Fury’ anthem is already sizzling.
The short film Kung Fury is a Kickstarter-funded throwback to ’80s martial arts flicks and police shoot-em-ups that is full of absurd time travel, dinosaur riding, Norse God of Thunder-fighting, kung fu magic, Adolf Hitler-killing goodness. That gleeful ridiculousness is matched with a genuine love of synth-pop sounds in its outstanding soundtrack.
Well, outstanding if you love glorious synth-pop. And you should! At the front of that sound is David Hasselhoff‘s theme song, “True Survivor.” It’s radical. If you disagree, you’re simply wrong! Now, imagine our joy when we saw The Hollywood Reporter share word that the Hoff will be back for the feature-length sequel!
When David Sandberg wrote, directed, and starred in the Kung Fury short there was no way he could have anticipated it would be received so enthusiastically worldwide. The film has over 29 million views on YouTube. It was featured on Netflix for awhile. Not for nothing, but if you’ve been following the great Mustache Debate of our times, it featured a great exchange about shitty mustaches. But, that popularity is rivaled by Hasselhoff’s “True Survivor.” In fact, the music video is at 33 million views. It’s the Hoff!
