Anybody seen one of these all the way through? The trailers are always entertaining, but I wonder how that translates to actually sitting through an hour long movie.

Most Nollywood/Ugandan/low-budget Arian movies are quite shit, with a lot of really dull stretches to get through. There's one that's supposed to be a sci-fi action horror that opens with a 10 minute long scene with a woman arguing with her daughter about taking out the trash. The trailers highlight the most entertaining parts of the film, when the bulk of it is just filler. Who Killed Captain Alex? is pretty good though.

Hah, fucking hell.
Thanks for the reply. That's kind of what I suspected.

How dare they copy hollywood like that!
Connor Green
That sounds unironically superb. I hate the cookie-cutter three act bullshit of modern Hollywood.
Chase Lee
To be fair they improved quite a lot from Who killed Captain Alex and tebatsasula or something like that.
Its incredible. The production values skyrocketed and the direction is much better.

That's pure kino you pleb

assume there is a curve of production value of their movies, how soon will they reach the plateau?

I had more fun watching the 8 minutes trailer of Bad Black than any other Hollywood action shit this year.
Including heavy weights like Civil War and Suicide Squad.
Dollar per dollar, pound per pound, the nigger does a better job with 200 bucks than Disney with 200 millions.
Jonathan Price
Not seeing the point of this article, how is he different than the million other youtube fags out there?
Christopher Evans
I think they want to achieve at least the level quality of cheap 80's movies like Seagal's,van damme's and other class b actors. And I see them reaching that point in 10 years.
Connor Wright
I guess I see your point, but other foreign action movies still blow them out of the water. Raid and Ong Bak are still miles above it.
Sebastian Walker
But that stuff is purely imitative of the Hollywood model, this is distinctively its Own Thing.
Bentley Moore
Uniqueness in my book is not inherently positive. These movies just aren't fun to watch, there is good cheese and bad cheese out there and I think it falls into the latter category. I can appreciate the effort and dedication, but that's all.

Shit. I watched the trailer for Bad Black and you are right. It's actually bearable. I couldn't stand Captain Alex. But I can stand this trailer.
Xavier White
I will say that I didn't expect the narrator in each of them, shit he talks pretty much the entire movie instead of the characters
Levi Bennett
$200? Hmm, I'm guessing not everyone is getting paid. But if they are, probably just a couple cents a day.
Gabriel Morris
They have one jew yorker in their movies. You can also go and be in them.
Landon Butler
>What's their endgame?
I expect the income per capita of the region to rise, and people's living standard and education and taste to improve. They begin to find Captain Alex too shitty for their newly acquired taste.
With their better theater and home equipment and better connection to the outside world, foreign movies become accessible to people of the region.
Wakaliwood Studios then has to face competitions from the top by Hollywood and from affordable section by Bollywood.
As they are forced to upgrade their production values, they find the minimum wage and the cost of everything in the country too high for them to make movies.
Basically the middle income trap of cinema

It helps as I despise their original dialogue. Or languages. Or voices.

I don't get it. Anyone who has access to YouTube must also has access to latest capeshits, Bollywood, Chinese, Hong Kong, Latin American, South African...
How can they even compete?

I wonder how many AIDS deaths the African casting couch has racked up.

Then they also have to compete with USA Youtubers, European Youtubers, Black Youtubers...

This reminds me of these ninja movies I had a brief obsession with. They were like Mexican crime dramas or something and they just edited in random scenes of white guys in ninja suits having ridiculous duels.
