    It was fun and heartfelt, and a hell of a lot better than than the souless Kung Fury, which had pretty much lost most of its appeal after only a minute in. (this film also looks far better for even less of a budget) 8 years 1 month ago

    I swear I don't know what the point of all this was, but I learned something: creating a new-cult narrative is not as simple as putting together whatsoever you think is "retro," "cheesy," "so-bad-it's-good," or however you call it.

    You've got literally everything in this movie, and I think that's why it fails so fucking bad. A Mad Max-like dystopian universe, childish aesthetics for us who grew up in the 90's watching bad TV shows from the 80's, a lazy-ass synth-based soundtrack, gratuitous gore because it's "funny" I guess, and a conventionally attractive, skinny, white, I'll-follow-you-everywhere girl co-protagonist, so typical of Hollywood blockbusters.

    I insist that I have no idea what was the point. Was it to make a quick buck? To react bodly to a current, and now evident, cult following phenomenon? No idea, but imo it fails at both. I can tell also that at least the writer and/or the director hadn't precisely fun going through the thing; the dialogues seem so tortured, as if they were just arriving into "this 80's revival thing."

    It's no way Kung Fury, and by God even less exploitation homages like Rodriguez's or Tarantino's. Whatever, what I know is this decade will bring us more expendable shit like this that'll be forgotten in a couple of months or so.
