Thank you internet: Kung Fu (NES)

Browsing the internet (or "surfing," if you prefer) very often feels like partaking in a twisted treasure hunt, laced with non-sensical clues and unrelated rewards. You start out looking at a review of the latest Bond film, you follow a link here, do a search there and before you know it, you're downloading a hilarious video of a walrus being launched from a catapult. Just such a situation lead us to become briefly obsessed with Kung Fu, that classic face-kicking adventure on the NES. It would be completely inconsiderate if we didn't share some of our findings.

Find four Youtube videos embedded after the break -- if you only watch one, make sure it's the last one.




Kung Fu: Now with speed! This tool-assisted speed run shows Kung Fu being completed in under four minutes. Jump, kick. We've got to remember that one.


Kung Fu: Now with nudity! (NSFW?) It's Kung-Fu, but naked. We're as disturbed as you are.


Kung Fu: now with live-action kids! Marvel as a kid punches, kicks and decapitates his way to victory. Odd, we don't remember decapitation in the original game ...


Kung Fu: now with intrigue! Also: volleyball, aerobics, murder and meandering mushrooms.
