10 Movies Coming Out YEARS After They Were Shot

10. Kung Fury 2

Remember Kung Fury, the absolutely wild 2015 short film directed by David Sandberg? 

The VFX-heavy homage to 1980s martial arts and cop action flicks received rave reviews from critics and has almost 40 million views on YouTube, enough that Sandberg was able to secure funding for a feature-length sequel.

Kung Fury 2 was shot back in the summer of 2019, wrapping in September of that year, with an impressively star-studded cast including Michael Fassbender, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Alexandra Shipp, Jorma Taccone, and David Hasselhoff. And yet, five years later, we've still seen just a few images, reportedly due to a lawsuit between the film's investors causing post-production to be halted in late 2020.

But by April of this year, Kung Fury 2 had completed production, and yet it remains trapped in nebulous release limbo due to the aforementioned legal issues. 

Alex Lebobvici, head of one of the film's production companies, Hammerstone Studios, expressed hope that the matter will be resolved "shortly," but as ever, sorting through legal red tape takes an infuriating amount of time.
