16 Brilliant WTF Moments From Kung Fury

16. The Opening Sequence (Skateboard Vs Cop)

Straight away the film shows its colours, making it clear that a very self-conscious commitment to hyper-violence and ridiculousness is as important as the drenched aesthetic and the gloriously kitsch 80s soundtrack.

It achieves that by having a gang of street toughs respond to a foolish cop by stomping a skateboard under his car and sending it careering through the air, before peppering it with bullets.

If you had any suspicions that Kung Fury wasn't going to live up to the billing, this early flash of silliness should have stamped it out immediately. And despite the intentionally aged visuals, the car flip is actually pretty impressive. At least it seems the kickstarters invested the $600k they picked up properly.

And that's the whole point really: Laser Unicorns know exactly what they're paying homage to, and where the money had to be spent to make it a faithful homage (as well as a spoof).
