This does not qualifiy as a movie. Do you remember "Trail of the Pink Panther"? It was made AFTER the late Peter Sellers had passed away. In fact it was not made at all. They took a bunch of outtakes from previous movies and glued them randomly together. And that seems to be the amount of creative ambition that was used here as well. The product? Terrible. Unwatchable.
The enemy warship" Louisa, whose actual name is Liemba (meaning Lake Tanganyika") was built in 1913 at the Meyer-Werft Shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. For over 90 years the Liemba has been the only major means of transportation on Lake Tanganyika. It has been operating almost nonstop since 1927 as a passenger and cargo ferry after turbulent times during WW I.
In the movie in common Hollywood fashion of demonizing the enemy" (or simply other people") the Liemba (or Louisa) gets destroyed by the tale's American heroes in an act of guerrilla warfare. This fictional story may work as an adventurous fairytale, but the attitude problem is quite evident. The enemy" does get reduced to evil and/or inept cartoon characters in millions of US movies, e.g. German troops (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Where eagles dare), Mexicans (The magnificent Seven, The Professionals), French (Two mules for sister Sara), British (The Patriot) etc., and the facts do get bent way beyond implausibility. In The Mercenaries" the Iron Cross of the German mercenary (based on actual German mercenary in the Congo, Siegfried Müller) even does get changed to a swastika. I wonder why John Houston didn't paint a swastika on the bow of the Louisa as well.
Also remarkable is the fact, that the democracy" US of A seems to adore Kings and Queens; the heroic boat of this movie is a Queen, Elvis Presley is called King, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. do reside and reign in an aura of selfrightousness like actual aristocrats in a hereditary monarchy.
