The time of quarantine and pandemic is, unfortunately, not the time for large projects. Most film releases have been postponed until the summer, and post-production on smaller-budget films has stalled due to self-isolation. In this regard, independent filmmakers became more active and urgently decided to “finish” their projects. We will show you some of them today.
Escape From North Korea
In 2017, special effects master, editor and director Keith Eng запустил on crowdfunding platforms raising funds for a fantastic short film called "Escape from North Korea". The project was promised in the style of films of the 80s and took as a basis such cult films as Escape from New York (1981) "Big Trouble in Little China" (1986) "Game of Death" (1976) and short film "Kung Fury" (2015)
Finally, the film was released into the public domain.

Escape from North Korea is a clear stylization of old computer fighting games. To be honest, I somehow finished watching it, and by the 10th minute I was already bored. Some kind of computer flickering, but martial arts is essentially zero.
Escape from North Korea is in the best traditions of Kung Fury.
The home-made Matrix is too home-made for a normal film and lacks something for a parody.
City Breach is a fun stylization.
Extermination is not bad choreography. We tried to figure it out.
The rest you don't have to watch at all.
