I know I shouldn't like Kung Fury. I know it's cheap and dumb and makes literally no sense. But it ticked so many of my appeal-boxes I absolutely cannot walk away from this with giving it anything less than three stars. I'm glad that they didn't try to stretch this to a full ninety minute feature though, I think the premise would have well and truly grown weary by then. Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go.
