Kung Fu is perhaps not very interesting to watch, but there has been a lot of competition at it. The records in this game have gained more speed, timeunit by timeunit, as a couple of timeattack authors have competed on it.

The completion times for each floor in this movie are: 1547, 1557, 1551, 1545, 1549. It is 38 timeunits faster than Michael Fried's previously published version and 4 timeunits faster than Deviance's last known record.

With over 10 different runs attempted at this game across 6 authors, Kung Fu, aka Spartan X, is a simple platform game that has seen a lot of competition. This version uses a new random manipulation technique to beat the first level one time unit faster than Phil & Genisto's most recent record.

The completion times for each floor in this movie are: 1548, 1557, 1551, 1545, 1549.

The author would like to acknowledge the following authors who have spent time on this game:

This is a historic movie, submitted and obsoleted before the creation of the database-based (and wiki-based) site engine, before July 2004.

It was inserted to the database in a history revival project by Bisqwit in autumn 2006.

As for the movie itself... This is Michael Fried's improvement over Lezard. The main improvement comes from taking damage in level 4 to save time.

Kung Fu (1985) is a simple beat-'em-up game in which the protagonist known as Thomas has 5 floors of bad guys and bosses to fight through in order to save Sylvia, his girlfriend. Unfortunately, as the final screen tells us, their happiness "does not continue long" — a common arcade trope to make the player beat the game in a second loop.

Phil bested the predecessor movie by over a second thanks to better luck manipulation and decreasing the amount of jumps.

This movie aims for lowest in-game time. The completion times for each floor are: 1552, 1558, 1552, 1545, 1550.
