Reportedly made for somewhere around $200, WHO KILLED CAPTAIN ALEX? is the 1980's church youth group filmmaking caliber story of a soldier named Captain Alex who's ordered to smash the evil "Tiger Mafia". What makes the Tiger Mafia so evil? I have no idea, but whatever. During his first raid, Captain Alex captures the brother of the Tiger Mafia leader, Richard. Richard vows revenge, but before his people can kidnap Alex, Alex is mysteriously murdered. Nobody knows who did it. Alex's "Ugandan Shaolin Monk" brother, Bruce U shows up and does push-ups in water. He also does some fishing. After that, the military and the Tiger Mafia have a battle that looks like a real life version of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It's completely nuts. I liked it. The End.
WHO KILLED CAPTAIN ALEX? is definitely not everybody's cup of tea, but for pure entertainment purposes, I found it to be pretty fun. There's two versions of the film: the normal version and then the "VJ Emmie" narration version. I highly recommend the VJ Emmie version. The straight version if okay, but too slow moving. The VJ Emmie version is completely nuts. Whoever came up with the idea of having this guy yelling random stuff throughout the movie is a genius. I laughed for like 5 minutes straight when the woman asked Bruce U if she could have the fish and VJ Emmie yells "What the fuck??!" Then later on at 51:40, I swear to Satan, he makes a BLAZING SADDLES reference when the soldiers are sitting around a campfire and he starts making farting noises and talking about eating a lot of beans.
Extremely low-budget filmmaking that honestly doesn't look that bad, moderate pace, insanely cheap and charming special effects, wacky story that never really even goes anywhere and definitely isn't resolved at the end, unique filming locations, better than expected acting. Overall, WKCA? is surprisingly not anywhere as crazy as I had expected. It's honestly, a decent movie.
Director/writer/producer/cinematographer/editor/special and visual effects artist Nabwana I.G.G obviously has talent and a true passion for filmmaking. I'm looking forward to seeing what else he can do!
Recommended for the more forgiving and open-minded movie lover.
