3,700th Post Celebration: Uganda's 1st Action Movie

After skipping/forgetting the last one of these, I'm going to make the most of this one...

Uganda.  It's a Country that I'll probably never go to.   Thanks to the Internet, however, weird Films from them are available to watch here.  They aren't hidden- it's just that most people aren't looking for them.  They don't have an official industry- that I know of- or anything- they just have some guys having fun with cameras.  This goes all of the way back to...2010.  Okay, short history.  Today's Film is Who Killed Captain Alex?, a 2010 Film by a guy who's name that spell check will hate.  This is weird.  This is silly.  I don't mean to mock those without resources who try to make something- I just want to make fun of a silly Film that also happens to check those boxes.  To find out just how silly this all is, read on...

I found this on YouTube (since I wasn't buying this) and the intro they added sure is convenient.

The basic Story- Soldiers come into a Village (the same one the Film was made by) to stop the 'Tiger Mafia.'

This one's for you, Bob.

The Soldiers go to break up a drug deal.  While showing off their skills, one of them splashes the camera.

If you were wondering, yes, that water drop manages to stay on the lens for the next 20 minutes.

A shooting breaks out and it's really hard to follow.  I yearn for a Michael Bay Scene.

On the plus side, silly CGI.

The leader of the Tiger Mafia finds out that his brother- of course- was killed by the...News?

He demands vengeance against the leader- the titular Captain.

Guess what happens.

When his brother- of course- shows up to solve the mystery of his death, more action ensues (eventually).

To find out how it all goes (and how great the CGI is), watch the Film (on YouTube).

Silly stuff.  For a Film made for $200, it looks good.  It is pretty cheesy.  It is pretty silly.  It is pretty dumb.  To be fair, this Version is apparently self-riffed version...for some reason.  The Director makes random jokes/re-dubs over the Film in English.  I don't know why.  In spite of that, they try to be serious...mostly.  It's nothing special.  It's just a cheesy Action Film rife with production issues and no Budget.  At least it was their first attempt and not, you know, Seagal's 400th.  Besides, it was free and it gave me this out-of-context shot...

It's all silly fun, but don't expect consistent laughs.  It's not all fun, but there's enough there for us weirdos.
