16 Brilliant WTF Moments From Kung Fury

5. Here Comes The Cavalry

Hackerman Robot
Laser Unicorns

Just as it seems all is lost and Fury lies seemingly dead thanks to Hitler's mini-gun attack, the sky lights up with lightning and Thor manifests once more within the Nazi compound, complete with his ceremonial war helmet. But obviously no armour, because he wouldn't want to hide sweet abs.

And he comes with friends: the barbarians and their pet T-Rex, Triceracop and of course Hackerman, who wields his keyboard like a boom-box and hacks himself into a colossal robot. There's no explanation for how they came together, but then, why would there be? In short they bring the pain, especially Triceracop, who is singularly incapable of shooting anyone anywhere but in the testicles.

It's an understandably efficient approach.

Again, despite the very consciously silly agenda, the effects are skimped on. Side by side with something as supposedly grand as Sucker Punch, for instance, this is not only more entertaining, it actually also looks mostly more impressive.
