The core Street Rage game is a decent, if simple premise, in which you just keep fighting ever advancing waves of Ninja Nazis. With ULTIMATE EDITION, you get two additional game modes, which are sorely needed in order for this to be any sort of enjoyable romp. It serves almost like a sequel, picking up the adventures of Kung Fury, Barbarianna, Hackerman, and Triceracops from where the film ended. Kung Fury: Street Rage is a video game adaptation of sorts. I personally recommend watching Turbo Kid if you want to see a bit more theatrically-lengthed mayhem, and a shockingly good performance from Monroe Chambers (of Degrassi fame). It’s not as if the 80s wave wasn’t already underway and still persists to this day. The movie, which had a successful Kickstarter campaign, became the subject of many a meme and plenty of pop culture saturation…for a minute. It’s a half hour long, it’s on YouTube, and it’s worth watching for several things, most notably Jorma Taccone as a martial arts Hitler and an indisputably amazing song from David Hasselhoff. įor those unaware, Kung Fury is a short film from 2015 that is a massive homage to the movies and aesthetics of the 80s, specifically the more bizarre nature of action films and B-movie moments. There are so many questions I have, such as “why?” and “why now?” Playing through this game has answered none of my questions, so now I’m left with three things: a decent review, a curiosity, and a playlist full of synthwave music because you can’t not get into it after a few rounds of Street Rage. It’s incredibly weird to try and take the temperature of the world around me when something like Kung Fury: Street Rage – ULTIMATE EDITION comes across my desk.
