KUNG FURY: THE MOVIE Leaked Sizzle Reel is a Bonkers 80s Fever Dream with Arnold Schwarzenegger & Michael Fassbender
After years of radio silence, the first-ever footage from Kung Fury: The Movie has finally surfaced online in the form of a wild, absolutely bonkers 10-minute sizzle reel that feels like it was conjured in the fever dream of an ‘80s-obsessed time traveler with access to every VFX plugin known to man.
After the over-the-top sizzle reel initially leaked on YouTube it was taken down along with ever other time it was uploaded. But, I did find this one on X, that is still alive and ready to watch!
Directed by David Sandberg, this unreleased feature-length sequel to the viral 2015 short Kung Fury was meant to take everything people loved about the original like laser dinosaurs, synthwave-soaked action, kung fu cops, time travel, and crank it up to eleven.
But, for the past five years, the movie’s been stuck in cinematic limbo after a legal fallout with the film’s Chinese investors.
In 2020, Creasun Entertainment USA was accused of pulling the plug on a promised $10 million investment, freezing the production in its tracks. But now, the legend of Kung Fury 2 lives again thanks to this insane footage, which plays like someone dared the creative team to out-crazy Turbo Kid and Deadpool in the same breath.
“This was an internal promo video that was never supposed to be seen by the public. I feel bad because it contains a bunch of plot points and temp VFX,” Sandberg told Variety in a statement.
“I hope at least people can see the passion that we poured into the movie, the world deserves to see it as it was meant to be seen. This movie has been held hostage for the past 5 years but I promise to keep fighting for it and make sure this film gets the chance it truly deserves.”
The reel features Michael Fassbender as Colt Magnum, an FBI renegade with a monster mullet and explains how to make a “justice omelette,” Arnold Schwarzenegger shows up as the cigar-chomping, shotgun-toting U.S. president President of the United States, strapped, loaded, and announcing his mission to "kick some Nazi ass." Oh, and David Hasselhoff is there too, morphing into a sentient ‘80s supercar known as the Hoff 9000.
The story involves a eclectic team of human, dinosaur and half-human-half-dinosaur crime-fighters called the Thundercops, led by the deadpan action hero Kung Fury (Sandberg), on a mission to clean up the streets of Miami in 1985. This mission is somehow derailed by “the worst criminal of all time,” Adolf Hitler.
Check out the footage, and let us know if you're ready to ride a laser raptor into battle alongside Fassbender and Schwarzenegger.
The world needs Kung Fury: The Movie now more than ever.

La película sigue atrapada en el limbo legal: una demanda por diez millones de dólares contra inversores chinos frenó su postproducción en 2020. pic.twitter.com/jLdp6srkwl
