When was the last time some, crazy, random, extremely well produced, content like "Kung Fury" happened?

Everything, Everywhere, All At Once comes to mind. Redline is another that has a similar feel (the intro sequence is insane)
There is another movie Daniels made before. Swiss Army Man. Don't watch trailer, don't read about the movie, just watch it.
Don’t watch trailer, don’t read about the movie, just watch it.
100% this.
I don't think I've ever said "what the fuck?" as often in any other movie
Love that one! Daniel Radcliffe has such amazing range. All the way from a corpse to a man with guns nailed to his hands.
I wasn't really blown away by Redline, it just felt like cheap effects with long trail lines.
I was however blown away by Dandadan's first episode. A genuine tour de force of amazing animation and pacing.
It renewed my love of anime which I thought had been stagnant for a while. Every single frame had its own vibe.
Dandadan is very pretty, but Redline uses no effects or CGI. It was one of the last animated movies to be completely hand drawn using traditional animation. The reason it looks like “cheap effects” is because over 100,000 hand-drawn frames were made for it over a seven year production period to push the animation to the absolute limit. Please reconsider.
What blows my mind about Dandadan is the audio. Anime has never sounded so good.
The entire channel of Bobby Fingers and especially my favourite Jeff Bezos row boat
Oh yeah, that whole thing is creepy as fuck. But very well made.
The entire time ive watched this the only thing on my mind is "wtf, he cant just create a new tangent out of thin air" and then he proceeds to mould 2 new tangents, one out of polystyrene, and another out of clay. Then he stuck them together. And created a mega tangent.
I'm not sure wtf did I just watch but I fucking loved it.
Well, the full version of Kung Fury is still in production, so quite soon!
There is more coming? What when how? I need it.
Hardcore Henry maybe?
Which was started/inspired by these two music videos:
I was going to say this!
Kung Pow - Enter the Fist
We have purposely trained him wrong, as a joke.
While we are talking kung, Kung Fu Hustle is golden as well.
🔥
I think these were before Kung Fury, but Kung Fu Hustle is one of my favorite action comedies, and Akira is a total trip as well. Another mind@#$% that's really not in the comedic genre at all (although maybe not as random as you're seeking) is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I've gotta rewatch all of these...
Akira is a total trip as well.
There's been a live action Akira film in development hell for over 20 years now. I've been patiently waiting since my teen years to see it and I'm in my early 40s now. I guess directors are so scared of not being able to live up to the masterpiece that is the original anime film, so nobody sticks with the project long.
Personally, I'd love to see it recreated as a miniseries. If you've read the manga, the film barely touches on the plot. There are gang wars, political factions, economic and social collapse, insurrections and riots, even global wars! None of that is covered in the film; they just focus on Tetsuo and Kaneda.
Heck, even its namesake, Akira, isn't around! He was a central figure of the manga, but he's only around for some brief flashbacks in the film.
A miniseries would give it time to world-build and cover everything in the original manga series.
Interesting, thanks, I'll have to check it out! I did think it was kind of strange that Akira wasn't the focus, but I wondered if it might've been something like "The Legend of Zelda" focusing on Link, haha.
If you liked Kung Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer was a movie made by the same director, and it shares the same type of humour and amazing special effects. Worth checking out if you haven't.
Thanks, though I've already watched it and... KFH is light years ahead! I really look forward to KFH 2.
Check out Angie Tribeca. It's a parody cop show with non-stop nonsense similar to how Kung Fury is.
Right before Kung Fury, there was Iron Sky. Moon Nazis, Sarah Palin as the U.S. president, and just generally over the top. Iron Sky 2 was kinda meh.
I would say the Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss pilots were really solid and The Amazing Digital Circus is another standout.
This made me think of Tuca and Bertie which has an offbeat sensibility and is well done IMHO
Um, Cade: The Tortured Crossing? It’s like you’ve never heard of Neil Breen.
😂
Kung Fury is a self aware satire/homage. Breen is just incredible insanity.
I think Triangle Of Sadness fits this bill pretty well. Certainly one of my all time favourite films. Maybe a little less silly-absurd, but the real-absurdness makes up for it, and has bite.
I agree! It looks like it had a larger budget than it had, which is really impressive.
I randomly stumbled upon that on TV a while back. It was horrible but strangely I couldn't stop watching. Woody Harrelson's role was great.
Yeah. There's not a missed punch in it politically either. Some of the best satire I've seen in ages. His other film, Force Majeure is also great.
...Sounds like you're looking for "Thousands of Beavers". Great movie.
only catch is "well produced," which I would argue this movie proudly isnt
Considering they had, IIRC, like 6 beaver suits total, I'd say it's a production masterpiece.
I was stoned out of my mind and I STILL couldn't finish that garbage. It would have been amazing if it were a 10-15 minute short.
damn this the wrongest take ive read all day
Back in the day there was Hardware Wars.
Shorter but just as good, there was The Speed of Time.
Check out Rubin and Ed. Not the same type of a WTF movie experience but worth a watch if you appreciated Kung Fury.
King Fury was so great. I've heard rumors of a part 2 coming out, but I'm not sure how true it is.
There Will Be Brawl was great if you want to watch a dystopian nintendo world. The first few episodes follow Luigi looking for a killer. I'll just link the first episode, if want to dive down that rabbit hole.
I was struck by lightning. And bitten by a Cobra. And blacked out
I haven't seen this but the quality and attention to detail prevented me from stopping i truly lived today
The original of this seems to have been removed, but this is fun an weird if you're into music production: Andrew Huang - Foods n Dudes
