Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Kung Fury (soundtrack)” is 2015 soundtrack album. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Kung, Fury and soundtrack, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “2015 soundtrack album” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q21065510. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2015.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
