Overview

  • A 10-minute sizzle reel for 'Kung Fury 2' was leaked online but has since been removed following a copyright claim.
  • Filmmakers, including director David Sandberg, confirmed the footage's authenticity and expressed hope for the film's eventual release.
  • The sequel, featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Fassbender, and David Hasselhoff, was shot in 2019 but halted in 2020 due to a $10 million legal dispute with Chinese investor Creasun.
  • The leaked footage showcases the film's over-the-top 1980s-inspired action, including a cigar-chomping U.S. president and a dinosaur crime-fighting team.
  • Sandberg has vowed to resolve the legal and financial issues that have kept the $34 million project from completion since its announcement in 2015.
