Hasselhoff david biography jacket true survivor

In promoting the upcoming kung fu parody film Kung Fury, David Hasselhoff stars in a new music video featuring an ‘’80s-esque anthem that consists of ninjas, lasers, dinosaurs and fiery explosions. The rambunctious video opens with a mullet-donning Hasselhoff escaping out of a white Lamborghini Countach while blasting a group of thugs, only to land elegantly in a split. The video’s various segments are then intertwined with motivational training scenes with a ridiculous melange of props: guns, vikings, sports cars and flamethrowers among others.

Kung Fury is a Swedish martial arts comedy that began as a Kickstarter project that raised $630,000 USD. While The Hoff won’t be starring in the movie, he was happy to belt out the “True Survivor” theme song. Kung Fury is set for an online release on May 28 via YouTube.
