KUNG FURY: THE MOVIE Leaked Sizzle Reel is a Bonkers 80s Fever Dream with Arnold Schwarzenegger & Michael Fassbender — GeekTyrant

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.

NFL Stars Don't Belong on the Olympics' Flag Football Field

The National Football League has long dreamed of turning America's favorite game into a global one. At the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, it has its best shot. Flag football will be among the featured sports, and last week, the NFL agreed to allow its players to try out for national teams. Some of the league's brightest stars — including quarterback Patrick Mahomes (before walking it back) and wide receiver Justin Jefferson — have expressed interest in participating.

YouTube's Victory in the TV Wars Depends on Parents

Here's a stat that might come as a shock to casual observers of the media ecosystem: The media company that commands the largest percentage of our eyeballs is not the mighty Netflix Inc., the Walt Disney Co. juggernaut or the omnipresent Inc. Prime. It's YouTube. The platform represents 12.4% of audiences' time spent watching television, according to Nielsen Holding Ltd.'s Media Distributor Gauge report for April. That beats Disney's 10.7% (which includes not only the platforms and channels that bear its name but ESPN and Hulu to boot), nearly doubles the 6.8% and 6.7% for Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery, respectively, and pummels the puny 3.5% share for Amazon. But before we hail the platform as another nail in traditional TV's coffin, it needs to accomplish something else: earn the trust of its users, particularly parents.

Capturing the vibrant life of LGBT activist Marsha P. Johnson

Just ahead of Pride season, a new biography of the venerated activist Marsha P. Johnson by the multidisciplinary artist Tourmaline has hit bookstore shelves. When Marsha P. Johnson died in 1992, she was a beloved figure in New York's LGBTQ+ social scenes and liberation movements. Since then — thanks to work from community activists and historians, including Tourmaline — her legacy has grown deeper, her reputation traveling further. Today, there is a state park in New York named after her and a bronze bust of her housed in the New York LGBT Center. Online, tributes pop up on social media every summer commemorating her activism.
