We’re really digging this new chiptune take on the classic theme from the original movie.  The original score was always fantastic, and we can’t wait to hear more of the synth score they’ve created for the new video game – which sounds like it’ll be filled with more than just chiptune.

The upcoming Turbo Kid video game itself is set to be a Metroidvania style bit adventure game, that seems to be filled with some hilarious gore and, of course, what is sounding like a fantastic soundtrack.

The kitschy ultra-violent Turbo Kid has always held a special place in my heart, as it was one of the first topics I covered after I started writing about synth music way back in 2015. I was lucky enough to actually have a theater showing the film near me too. The crowd was awesome – you haven’t lived until you’ve heard a theater audience laughing hysterically as heads explode to a synth soundtrack!

Way back in 2015, we saw the beginning of a new indie film genre – the synthwave inspired retro spoof. Kung Fury is perhaps the most well known, but only a few short months after its release Turbo Kid also briefly graced the silver screen. Since then we’ve continued to see more retro synth inspired spoofs like “Escape from North Korea,” “Commando Ninja,” and the not-so-spoofy (and wildly good) synth backed “Blood Machines.”

We’re super stoked to see that after almost 6 years the indie film is getting it’s own video game. After all, Kung Fury got it’s own video game not too long after it was released!

The team have just released a new trailer to outline the project and provide some new enticing footage. Whether you’re a fan of the original film or a rookie fan-to-be, Combes’ creative vision for Commando Ninja II speaks for itself.

This time around, the production is going to be stepping up their game an few notches, going full old-school with on-set practical effects and on-location shooting in Utah and in real South-East Asian jungles in Thailand. Need I say more?

Enlist in COMMANDO NINJA II : INVASION AMERICA

Watch Commando Ninja on Youtube.

“In a distant 1980’s future, America’s last ninja must save the First Daughter of the United States from the Supreme Leader of North Korea. It throws every 80’s pop culture icon at you from ninjas, nazi’s, lasers, kung fu, giant robots, and off-world excursions.”

Available free to stream on youtube, Escape from North Korea is reminiscent of the widely acclaimed Kung Fury. We’ve been hearing fantastic things about this radical short film for quite a while as it has won numerous awards from film festivals around the world, and we’re quite excited to finally lay eyes on the finished product.

Witty fight scenes and clever one-liners are a plus, but the real focus here is how much gore this trailer has. There is plenty. There is also a nice little easter egg at 2:01 in the trailer. Subtle, but very cool indeed. If you guys are fans of Kung Fury then you will ultimately love this awesome new project that has started up on Kickstarter. Feast your eyes on the “Commando Ninja” Trailer! For lovers for laughs and gore

This is an over-the-top Action Comedy and a lovely tribute to 80’s Action Heroes Movies. The wait for Kung Fury II will be a long one, and Comando Ninja promises to fill that void for your wait. Boasting a soundtrack with Cobra Copter, Flash Arnold and OGRE, this has all of the right ingredients to be a real success. It beckons you…
