What happens

Kung Fury 2 is an incomplete martial arts comedy film directed by David Sandberg, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Tyler Burton Smith. When it was a viable future release, it was set to be a sequel to the 2015 featurette Kung Fury. Sandberg also returned in the title role, and other stars included Michael Fassbender, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Alexandra Shipp, Ralf Moeller, Jorma Taccone, and David Hasselhoff. Development of Kung Fury 2 began shortly after the release of the featurette. Fassbender, Schwarzenegger, and Hasselhoff were cast by February 2018, and principal photography took place from July to September 2019. Post-production work stopped in September 2020 due to a lawsuit with investors, and the film's release was indefinitely delayed, with legal issues still ongoing. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
