    Hello All..

    I decided to give the recommendation below a try.

    What a wild ride! KUNG FURY is totally ridiculous, but
    extremely well done.

    The "full" film is just 30 minutes. Well worth the look-see.

    OMG.. King Fury was a crowdfunded on Kickstarter in 2o15 and
    raised over $200k but fell short of its $1M goal...

    It is an over the top 80s cop thriller with an attempt to threw
    in retro, hacking, kung fu and... everything but the kitchen
    sink! :P Since they didn't hit their funding needs, much of the
    film was created using green screens and it only runs 31 minutes
    long as opposed to a full length feature.

    All of those setbacks, and it was still a freaking laugh for a
    computer nerd like me. I'm sure some of you have already heard /
    went down the rabbit hole, but if not I think its worth it. This
    will answer most of your questions:

    I thought it was great... furthermore, you can grab it in full @
    youtube, too:

    There were at least rumors of a part 2. The first one is gold IMO

    Right?!?!? I was surprised that I hadn't seen this nugget before I found it a week or so ago; glad you enjoyed it, too - I was sure some of us BBSers would thing it was the cats meow. Awesomeness.

    Dunno, this sort of thing is "good" because the novelty behind the concept. The novelty is good enough to carry the weight of
    the whole thing.

    When you create a sequel, the novelty has worn off. The sequel needs something else to carry its own weight, like a
    groundbreaking plot. And I can't imagine these people pulling such a thing off :-P

    But who knows...
