I can’t believe the movie already exists and can’t be released just because of legal issues around the funding.
Also, it looks absolutely fun as hell. The entire plot seems to be spoiled, but to be honest I didn’t see any twists that won’t be just as much fun the second or third time around.
It definitely doesn’t matter that I know the plot lol I need to see the plot now. This is gorgeous.
The entire plot is more or less a repeat of the original. And I would watch it repeatedly. The fact that they have Carpenter Brut doing the score at least for the trailer here only makes me want to see it that much more. Them on a soundtrack will make it positively Epic.
It’s more than legal issues around the funding. The company that was funding them decided that they wanted to take over production and believe they had a contractual right to do so. If it was just about funding he probably could have crowdsourced the money or gotten funding from someplace else.
Direct link to the video. Spoiler warning(?) because this seems to spoil the entire movie that might never come out.
What could have been… I still have some hope that maybe some day this movie can move forward, and every year or so I check in to see if there is any news on it, but unfortunately not much has happened. The sizzle reel looks amazing. Why can’t another publisher come along and fund the movie?
Schwarzenegger could fund it without breaking a sweat if he wanted to.
The issue is both the lack of money AND the contracts related to it.
If a rando donated the money? The company that is allegedly on the hook for not doing so would still expect their cut of the pie and it would just be a different set of lawsuits holding everything up.
I bet enough Schwarzenegger money would instantly make all that go away.
- That is potentially a LOT of money if revenue sharing was involved (and it generally is)
- The actual creators may actively not want a deal where the investors that allegedly screwed them over make massive bank for it
Fair point on #2
Aaaannnnnnd it’s gone.

Holy shit I can’t believe this is not coming out!
Just accidentally leak the whole movie
Ironically if there was ever a time Kung Fury was more needed to bash the fash. I’m unaware of it.
If the law is what’s stopping it, maybe there should be an… alternative release path.
like this reel that you can watch now?
Anyone managed to save the video before it got nuked?
Mirror is linked.
Thank you!
It’s actually real
This is the Naked Gun 2 we deserve!
(But also so much more)I wonder if we could get Legal Eagle to take a look and make a video about the lawsuit, and maybe even work on the case. With enough pressure and maybe some crowdfunding maybe we could get this thing finished and released. I MUST see this movie!
