The fact that it is triple funded means we should see it.
Ha, I remember seeing this when their kickstarter launched, glad they got funded.

It was on one of Tom Merritt's other podcasts that I watch.
He, Brian Brushwood & guest Fraser Cain were as excited to see this as we are. (Skip to 29 minutes)

Hahahaha! I want to see this so bad now!
I had forgotten about this. Still funny. Looks like the Iron Sky guys have taken the "riding a T. rex" bit for their sequel. I just looked at the Kung Fury website and they have a recent update stating they're still working on it.The old maxim is true: "You can have it done right, done fast or done cheap. Pick any two."

So it's not far away.
Here is an update video with some cool "making of" scenes and a bit more action.

I don't know. All the CG reminds me of the 2nd Charlie's Angels movie.

It looks awesome. But they raised $630k on kickstarter, so $21k/minute?

It's up to 1.9 million views. That's almost as many dollars as John Scalzi makes.
The whole film is showing this Monday, June 1st on El Rey at 11:30pm
Did anyone else watch the entire movie last night? Only 45 min long. Fun but a bit of a disappointment as, like a lot of movies, most of the best bits were in the trailer. Good for a fan made movie though.

(view spoiler)
Also 45 minutes? I thought it was only 30? Is there a longer version?
Personally I was not disappointed in the least, and found the bits from the trailer just as entertaining as the first time.

I'd have put hacking the top up at the top of my list of things in the trailer, but it sort of fell down the list with other stuff.
Maybe that kind of proves Andrew's point a little though. I maybe didn't like that as much the second time because I had seen it already.
Ah well, as far as trailers go it didn't spoil too much, especially for something so short. At least IMHO.
Mod
Your No.2 scene Rob, was my highlight moment.
Mod
Agreed, it was just the right size, and the right amount of ridiculous (lots) for maximum enjoyment. :D
"Struck by lightning and bitten by a cobra". Priceless.
One of my favorite moments.. "Don't hassle the Hof !"
It was awesome, my favourite quote: "Tank you..." I thought it was really well done and just the right amount of time although ntaurally I'll be hapyp with any more production :)
BTW, if you like this, I highly recommend Black Dynamite. It's an equally hilarious send-up of 1970s blaxploitation films.Trailer: https://youtu.be/96Y24a0cyCE

One of the best movies of all time. I would even say more hilarious, not just equally.
There are multiple different edits of this movie as well. I think the Netflix one might of been my favorite edit?
Another movie I'm watching on Netflix right now which is solidly in this genre: Bounty Killer.It's not a good movie, but at times it's a freaking GREAT movie.

Who could ask for anything more?
