I'll have to check out more in Nabwana I.G.G.'s filmography sometime even though it's the kind of movie that makes me feel like less of a man. The best-worst actor in this thing is Sserunay Ernest whose best moment is when he destroys a television while crying. He's awesome, and I'd love him to record Video Joker commentary for any Marvel movie I'm about to watch. He interrupts the action frequently, laughs or throws in a "Mamma mia!" when people get shot, reminds us all that this is indeed a movie (including one moment when he just repeats the word "Movie!" over and over again during one action sequence), reminds us that the good guy characters are commandos by saying "Commandos!" over and over, makes fun of the actions, makes cracks about eating German people, occasionally provides his own sound effects, lets us know when there's a "supa kicker" or a "supa rider" onscreen, makes a plea for us all to see another movie called Bad Black, calls a bunch of birds "dinosaurs," invents a new euphemism for sexual intercourse ("beat the rat serious"), turns the thing into a damn musical at one point, and praising the Tiger Mafia's choice in panties. Emmie, a friend of the director who narrates as a "video joker" in order to help translate the movie for English-speaking audiences and provide some commentary. What makes this memorable is the use of V.J. I mean, if there is an appropriate way to use a karaoke version of Seal's "Kiss from a Rose" in an action movie. There's some terrifically awful music choices, all lifted from elsewhere and including this recurring karaoke version of Seal's "Kiss from a Rose," never used in what you'd say is an appropriate way. There's the Ugandan Bruce Lee (Bruce U, according to our excited narrator ), and as a matter of fact, everybody in Uganda seems to know kung fu.
There are some Birdemic-esque special effects with blood spurts and some helicopter, a helicopter that at one point even flies backwards. As an ultra-low-budget action movie with barely any plot at all, this is nothing new. I've seen a lot of movies in the more-than-a-decade I've written about movies, but I've not seen anything like this Ugandan action movie. After that, his brother-the Ugandan Bruce Lee-gets involved. Plot: Captain Alex leads an elite squad to take down the Tiger Mafia.
