David Hasselhoff is so beloved in Germany because he sang a song about freedom, on top of the Berlin Wall while it was being torn down. He was wearing a leather light up jacket with a keyboard key scarf while doing it as well. The man is legend.
although he is somehow iconic, hasselhoff can laugh about himself and is obviously not taken himself too serious. thanks for uploading this hidden gem.
10:00 "I hope [The Hoff] knows this is cheese." Man, I just came from another video where Vevo interviewed him about his contributions to Kung Fury and his True Survivor MV. Part of his experience, he said, was that he was surprised that the movie was so well-done and yet it was made in the guy's garage. As in Hasselhoff was there for parts of the movie being made and he was impressed at what could be done now from just a bunch of friends using what was available. I think he really likes it, the way he described it. So he knows a lot of it is over the top and cheesy for good measure.
Hoff is a legend over here in Europe. When I grew up there was Knightrider, The A-Team and McGyver. Those were the three live action shows no kid would miss.
You're excused for the glasses lol ;) Hilarious, so 80s. I have to admit that I have not heard of this movie, have completely missed it. Would be great to have a party after the pandemic and watch it with a bunch of friends ... nostalgia :D
I don’t know if I commented this already but you were mentioning how the 80s were like heavy metal and oddly enough The Hoff went viral for singing a heavy metal song collaborating with a heavy metal band called Cue Stack. I think even Joe Rohan Show picked up on it. You should do a reaction to it ❤️
Watching (and doing a reaction on) this movie is incredibly easy since it's free, just 31 minutes long, and on UA-cam on the channel of it's production company Laser Unicorns. Yes. Laser Unicorns. :D
@@HistoryBuff You may have a few candidates for that honor. If not for the 1000th, then some other time, because reacting to that has some serious possibilities. And I think you'd enjoy it.
I think you will like it. The movie is half an hour of just unadulterated 80's cheese. With some reversed Hollywood humour of some Germans speaking Swedish (since Swedes always sound like Germans in movies). The creators are Swedish and the short film was made thanks to a crowd-funding project.
Bro Hasselhoff leveraged his understanding of his place in the culture. The video is pure gold, hilariously appropriate to the 80’s, kind of a love letter, i guess. That’s how you do good nostalgia.
Oh shit I've tried to forget the Flash Gordon movie. I was a kid. At one point I complemented the "sound" of the band performing the theme song. A family member went bloody annouyed at me for using a Foreign Word. Which I thought was a bit too far. A decade later I was in the school. In a music class. The teacher was eager to describe the notion of the "sound", also technically known as the "timbre". Let it simmer in me for decades. Didn't even realise it. Just keep on going. Now this family member is dead. Sigh. How did it come to this.
One movie i love is MANDY of Panos Cosmatos, son of George Cosmatos (yeah, the director of Rambo and Cobra) he take the colors and the style of a 80s movie and create a homage to Metal music, some cosmic strange plot with extreme violence and a perfect Nicolas Cage with a very dark and beautiful direction and story. The movie was a love letter to his dead father and was a hell of a ride. I love that movie so much.
did he react to the Kung Fury? he should react to more Hasselhoff music videos, he have done covers from Björn Skifs aka the blue swede, Hooked on a Feeling.
@@HistoryBuff search youtube, there are plenty of people that have reacted to it, I think the creator actually released it for free. Yea they did, this is from their own youtube channel: ua-cam.com/video/bS5P_LAqiVg/v-deo.html ...ua-cam.com/users/LaserUnicornsfeatured
If you haven't seen it yet, you owe it to yourself to watch Hasselhoff do metal/electro with the band CueStack. ua-cam.com/video/FggsEkPQEbc/v-deo.html
I assume you found it by now but for all others, the full movie was funded using kickstarter and released as Free to Watch: ua-cam.com/video/bS5P_LAqiVg/v-deo.html
The thing why the 80s was over the top was because Sylvester Stallone made that film "Over the Top" in the 80s and what Sylvester Stallone said these days was law xD Serious... I was a teenager back then and when you was in "it" it doesn´t felt so over the top as it was. To us (or at least me and my parents) in Germany one of the things that was truely and every time over the top were action series from the US. Every car that made a little crash did explode immidiatly. There was a movie "Shhh Top Secret" from 1984 were that was shown very well (very good funny movie). If you don´t know it and like to laugh then watch it ;) Other funny movie from the early 90s was "Hot Shots" and "Hot Shots Part Deux". Both parody movies. First about "Top Gun" and the second a parody to "Rambo". Both over the top movies from the eighties. "The Hoff" well... I never was a big fan of him. But I didn´t dislike him either. He was there, i knew him from some of his tv shows and that´s it. He was the guy with the cool car in "Knight Rider" and with the hot chicks in "Baywatch". In both cases I was more interested in the things that wasn´t Hoff ;) As a teenager i loved the car "KITT"... last year I watched an old episode of "Knight Rider" and didn´t understand what I liked about that car or the series. Times change. Anyway interesting channel and because I´m no more in the twenties I´m not so familiar with that like and subscribe and that bell thing so I decided to activate them all and wait what happens next :) (that was irony that I don´t know what happens)
LOL, best comment on my channel to date! Seems like you definitely get it and I could not agree more! Hell yea, I've seen Top Secret! In fact, I think that was one of Val Kilmer's first roles. I loved all of those movies starting with Airplane!, Top Gun, hot shots, etc. Classics!!! I had a similar experience when I saw He-Man was on netflix. That was, by far, my favorite show as a kid. So I started watching it with my kids and thought, "what the holy hell is this!?" Anyways, thanks for supporting my channel. I think I've seen you comment on almost every video I've done. Almost to 1k! I'm racking my brain thinking of what to do. Part of me wants to live stream this movie. The other part, maybe Wacken 2013 live stream? thoughts?
@@HistoryBuff If it's Wacken or movie then to me it's definetly Wacken 🤘 But maybe there will be a "time conflict" because of different time zones ;) And funny but true .... I have family. So I'm one of the best youtube watching people when it comes to "missing a live stream" 😂 What I try to say is: Do whatever you like ;) Oh and I only made a comment under the "Sabaton - Bismarck" video so far I guess.... maybe under a Nightwish video too. But I don't think that these are all of your videos ;)
Kung Fury was an epic 30 min. movie. I enjoyed it, very over the top and full of nostagia. And it reminded me of the movie Iron sky, with the same level of not to serieus but good entertainment. I highly recomend it. It's about nazi's that feed to the moon after ww2.
Other retro 80's videoclips sugestions I can't give you are, ghost with dance de macabre and carpenter brut with turbokiller. I'dd love you reviews with the historic perspectief.
Dude ur awesome! i would totally go to BBQ with You to drink beer and talk history
Let's do it!!

Absolutely!!! I ended up doing a live 2k watch party. The movie is EPIC!!!
One of the greatest movies ever.
Bro I been a fan of the hoff for 36 years now since I was a kid so thanks for reacting to this video
The movie was a blast!
I don’t know if I commented this already but you were mentioning how the 80s were like heavy metal and oddly enough The Hoff went viral for singing a heavy metal song collaborating with a heavy metal band called Cue Stack.

I didn’t think I’d be more excited for something other than Nightwish, but I was wrong!
I’d love to see you react to the movie if you could.
Hey Mike, im live streaming the movie. Whats your tz and whats a good time?
@@HistoryBuff CDT 7ish works best
This song is so 150% 80s and I love it!
Watching (and doing a reaction on) this movie is incredibly easy since it's free, just 31 minutes long, and on UA-cam on the channel of it's production company Laser Unicorns.
Yes. Laser Unicorns. :D
Ok, you twisted my arm. Maybe that will be my 1,000 sub party!
@@HistoryBuff You may have a few candidates for that honor. If not for the 1000th, then some other time, because reacting to that has some serious possibilities. And I think you'd enjoy it.
I love the Hoff, true survivor.!!!
If you like this, check out the live stream where I watched Kung Fury. Friggin EPIC!!

He is being serious the same way Leslie Nielsen was serious in all his comedies.

Amen!!
its wierd this took some long time to get discovered.
Oh shit I've tried to forget the Flash Gordon movie.
I was a kid.
At one point I complemented the "sound" of the band performing the theme song.
A family member went bloody annouyed at me for using a Foreign Word.
Which I thought was a bit too far.

Now this family member is dead.
Sigh.
How did it come to this.
Damn...sorry about that 😬
This song man
I know the army people laugh about the Hoff, but he is,talented and in Europe successful.!!
If you take the cheesiness. Out of the video it’s actually not a bad sounding 80s style song
Oh he knew it was cheese, but in Europe we take our cheese very seriously.

I'll have to check that out!

They gave Hasselhof a good mullet wig, and then the kung fu stunt double a really bad one, just for the 80s reference.
They NAILED the 80s feel! Thats for sure!
More Liliac! Think you will like "We are the children" an original or "Master of Puppets".
why do you keep saying "little kung fu moves" What makes them little?
Song and movie are great. But noo you spoiled yourself by watching this before the movie.
The movie is made in Sweden by Swedes, crowdfounded.
Kung Fury was an epic 30 min. movie. I enjoyed it, very over the top and full of nostagia.
And it reminded me of the movie Iron sky, with the same level of not to serieus but good entertainment. I highly recomend it. It's about nazi's that feed to the moon after ww2.

And yeah he,takes him (hoff) not,100% serious.!!
That's right..just pause and talk all through the experience...One of the worst reactions I've ever seen ..
I actually started writing a respectful, well thought out response to this but I'm not in that kind of mood so I'll just say
Thanks asshole
@@HistoryBuff That's ok pumpkin ...Some of the impact is in the flow. But if you want to break up the flow of the experience , that's your loss.
