Everything, Everywhere, All At Once comes to mind. Redline is another that has a similar feel (the intro sequence is insane)
There is another movie Daniels made before. Swiss Army Man. Don’t watch trailer, don’t read about the movie, just watch it.
Don’t watch trailer, don’t read about the movie, just watch it.
100% this.
I don’t think I’ve ever said “what the fuck?” as often in any other movie
Love that one! Daniel Radcliffe has such amazing range. All the way from a corpse to a man with guns nailed to his hands.
I showed redline to my family who would absolutely hate anime and they asked me for more like it. Unfortunately, there isn’t.
I pitched Redline to my partner as “It’s a racing movie but they cranked the ‘anime’ knob up to 11. It’s great.” They loved it.
There’s absolutely nothing else like it, every frame is a painting.
It did kinda remind me of Dead Leaves though.
Props for the Dead Leaves reference, I watched that like 15 years ago and I sometimes forget what it was called but never that specific style. Insane animation.
I’m a sucker for anime that isn’t afraid to get weird with it. I should really look through more of Studio Trigger’s catalogue.
I think these were before Kung Fury, but Kung Fu Hustle is one of my favorite action comedies, and Akira is a total trip as well. Another mind@#$% that’s really not in the comedic genre at all (although maybe not as random as you’re seeking) is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I’ve gotta rewatch all of these…
If you liked Kung Fu Hustle, Shaolin Soccer was a movie made by the same director, and it shares the same type of humour and amazing special effects. Worth checking out if you haven’t.
Thanks, though I’ve already watched it and… KFH is light years ahead! I really look forward to KFH 2.
I would say the Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss pilots were really solid and The Amazing Digital Circus is another standout.
This made me think of Tuca and Bertie which has an offbeat sensibility and is well done IMHO
Kung Pow - Enter the Fist
We have purposely trained him wrong, as a joke.
While we are talking kung, Kung Fu Hustle is golden as well.

The amount of effort he puts into practically free videos on the internet is amazing.
“Practically” free?
If you’re forced to watch ads to watch the video, it’s not free unless your time is worthless. Although, ads on YouTube videos can be circumvented. Thereby practically free.
Um, Cade: The Tortured Crossing? It’s like you’ve never heard of Neil Breen.
…Sounds like you’re looking for “Thousands of Beavers”. Great movie.
I was stoned out of my mind and I STILL couldn’t finish that garbage. It would have been amazing if it were a 10-15 minute short.
damn this the wrongest take ive read all day
only catch is “well produced,” which I would argue this movie proudly isnt
Considering they had, IIRC, like 6 beaver suits total, I’d say it’s a production masterpiece.
