For those who don’t know the image source, it’s from Kung Fury, a short comedy (half hour) on youtube. Fully recommend for over the top parody of bad 80s action movies.

    If anyone’s curious as to whether this scene was considered cringy when the movie came out, yes. Yes, it was.

      As a 10 year old, this was the best movie I’d ever seen. I watched it again a few years ago, and realised I’d somehow failed to clock that the whole thing is one huge, expensive advert for Nintendo.

      But it was still great.

        I was 13 when it came out, and I knew it was an ad for Nintendo, but I didn’t care. It was exceedingly rare to see video games focused on like this in a movie and I really liked it! Even today, it’s cheesy, but not a bad movie.
