Reception
Kung Faux: "revisionist Mic Neumann has an offering worthy of the Postmodernism canon, alongside Jean-Luc Godard's Weekend and Luis Bunuel's Chien Andalou.", reported Steve Johnston of The Film Cynics. Rashaun Hall of Billboard Magazine considered the mix of vintage kung-fu film footage, voice-overs with rappers, comic book style special effects, and a hip-hop soundtrack to be "a high-flying, hilarious send-up of the kung-fu genre." Evan Serpick, editor of Entertainment Weekly said the first two episodes of Kung Faux "are filled with hysterical and clever infusions". The Orlando Sentinel's Matthew Mark said "Kung Faux is a work of Postmodernism that would make Jacques Derrida's head spin." Muzik editor Conor W. McNicholas included Kung Faux in the magazine's Special Edition "Hot 50" issue, calling it "Comedy Gold" and Beth Accomando of KBPS said Kung Faux is "Hilarious, Fresh and Inspired."
