[3][4] The film stars Sandberg in the title role, Jorma Taccone, Leopold Nilsson, and a cameo appearance by David Hasselhoff.

Intent on avenging the chief, Kung Fury has computer whiz Hackerman send him back in time to kill Hitler in Nazi Germany.

After Kung Fury meets the Viking valkyries Barbarianna and Katana, the Norse god Thor sends him to Nazi Germany for him to finish his job.

After being revived by Hackerman, Kung Fury gives Hitler an uppercut to the groin before Thor drops his hammer on the Nazi leader and his robotic eagle.

Most of the raw footage over green screen had been filmed using a Canon EOS 5D Mark III[7] and a Sony FS700, but additional funding was required for post-production.

[2] Due to a limited budget, Sandberg shot the majority of the film at his office in Umeå, Sweden, using digital effects to replicate the streets of Miami.

The soundtrack score was composed by Swedish synthwave musicians Mitch Murder and Lost Years,[13] with additional music by Patrik Öberg, Christoffer Ling, Highway Superstar, and Betamaxx.

"[18] Jonny Bunning of Bloody Disgusting gave the film a score of three-and-a-half out of five skulls, saying that "Kung Fury is The Avengers if it had been made in the 90s.

"[20] Scott Weinberg of Nerdist Industries called it "a 31-minute masterpiece that feels like it fell right out of 1985 and hit just about every awesome b-movie genre on the way down.

The gameplay also resembles One Finger Death Punch by Silver Dollar Games, with the player pressing left or right of the character to attack in either direction.

[24] An upgraded version of the game, titled Kung Fury: Street Rage - The Arcade Strikes Back, was released on PlayStation 4 and Windows in December 2015.

[28] Sandberg worked with producers Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg on a full-length feature film version of Kung Fury.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he stated that the project would be a "clean slate", containing no footage from the short film but taking place in the same universe.
