Cappu Films Takes International Sales on African Kung-Fu Nazis Titles
Hong Kong-based Cappu Films has acquired international sales rights to the African Kung-Fu Nazis franchise, Variety reported on 6 November 2026. International sales rights let a company offer a film to cinemas, streamers and broadcasters outside its home country.
The deal covers three titles: African Kung-Fu Nazis I, African Kung-Fu Nazis II and African Kung-Fu Nazis: The Doc. It was struck with Sebastian Stein, CEO of Humanmade Films, who is also a filmmaker and producer. Stein co-directed the first film with Samuel K. Nkansah, known as Ninja-Man. The production is listed as a Ghana, Japan and Germany co-production from 2020, according to Busch Media Group.
The deal was unveiled at the Taiwan Creative Content Fest in Taipei, which runs from 6 to 9 November 2026. The event is organised by the Taiwan Creative Content Agency. Festivals like this one act as markets, where sales companies and buyers meet to decide which films reach screens in other countries, sometimes years later.
Cappu Films, which also operates out of Beijing, describes itself as a sales and distribution company working across Asia and beyond. The deal applies only to rights and territories that are still open. Existing agreements stay in place, Variety reported.
The films already have a track record in several markets. Japanese distributor Transformer gave both features a theatrical run, opening the original in June 2021 and the sequel in July 2025. Busch Media Group handled the German release of the first film on DVD, Blu-ray and video on demand. The sequel played the Brigadoon sidebar at Sitges in 2025. In 2026 it screened at BIFFF, Grossmann and Macabro, where it picked up an honorable mention.
Cappu Films and the filmmakers also plan a line of art-led merchandise. It will be produced through Winners Gallery, a sister company of Cappu.
The Taiwan event is pitching more than projects this year. Screen Daily reported in September that the TCCF pitching programme had selected 70 projects for its 2026 showcase, with sponsored awards lifting the total prize pool to more than NT$10 million, or $315,000. Screen Daily reported those figures.
For a general audience, the practical point is simple. A film's rights are sold country by country, and a new sales company can open doors that were closed before. What comes next for these titles will show up in the territories Cappu now markets.
