The cast comprises of mostly unknown action worthy performers barring David Hasselhoff whose dominant voice lends a sense of nostalgia and novelty to the short film. It gets the mood, sentiment and look of the 80s era bang on. The film is instantly likable and very in-your-face. Designed as a tribute to the martial arts craze and fast paced police chase flicks of the 80s, it has a video game like appeal to it. Technically it’s more like a parody but done in an earnest manner. It is the brainchild of David Sandberg who serves both as the director and one of the actors of this 30 minute passion project.
‘Kung Fury’ is the perfect film to begin the list with as it honours the tradition of action films in all its glory. Since the general population is the target audience, Cinemascore is given a weight of 60%.Disclaimer: We don’t take responsibility for the originality or the copyright of the below videos. However, because they have probably seen a lot more films than the general population, their views are given some weight. Metascore is only weighted 15% because critics aren't the target audience and their views are not necessarily reflected by the masses, who are the target audience. Only movies that earned at least $30M at the box office are included in the rankings. The earnings of the rest of the films in a category are then divided by the earnings of the top earner to get their score. The top earning film in a category gets 100 points. In other words, for action movies, only the earnings of other action movies are used. The box office earnings score is calculated based on other movies in the same category. Box office earnings are only weighted 25% because of these factors:ġ) Earnings are dependent on how many theaters a movie is shown in.Ģ) The movie's rating (R, PG-13, etc.) affects ticket sales in general.ģ) Ticket sales can be affected by how much marketing is spent on promoting the film.Ĥ) Earnings don't reflect profitability (A film that earned $300M but only made a profit of $50M may not be considered as successful as a film that earned $150M but made a profit of $100M). However, when a Cinemascore was not available, the average score of IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes was used. Cinemascore is used, as opposed to IMDB or Rotten Tomatoes, because their results are from actual movie-goers.
Domestic box office earnings are used because this list is for the U.S. This list is based on a weighted score of domestic box office earnings 25%, IMDB's Metascore 15%, and Cinemascore of 60%.
