Featured reviews
Multiple plots that partially seem completely random, unnecessary and have basically nothing to do with each other. VJ Emmie is at his absolute PEAK in this movie! And the (comparably few) action scenes landed really well, especially the one in the prologue.
It was definetly interesting to see an American actor in a Wakaliwood film, and he did well. He wasn't really necessary to the main plot, but he was cool.
Overall, this movie was a very different experience from Who Killed Captain Alex?, it had way more plot and less action. The writing style was different too, containing multiple plots rather than one plot from different perspectives.
It certainly isn't better than Captain Alex from an overall view (except for VJ Emmie, he was even more hilarious in this one), but it's definetly worth a watch on YouTube or on DVD, if you're a supa action fan.

If you've seen Who Killed Captain Alex, you will not be dissatisfied. You will enjoy it for what it's worth. Bad Black is the next film in Wakaliwood's library and it delivers. Like Captain Alex, it's funny, nonsensical, has nonstop action, and the one and only, VJ Emmie. You may notice reoccurring actors from Captain alex, as well as new ones. The plot is hard to follow for me and can sometimes not make sense, but that's the beauty of it. Seeing every weird plot twist, and seeing random directions of the story makes the movie that more enjoyable. It's a little worse than Captain Alex, but it is very enjoyable. I recommend watching it! There is a blu-ray you can buy that contains Bad Black and Captain Alex as well as a bunch of bonus features. You can find it on Amazon and support the creators. Overall, a 7/10.
Imagine the most bizarre film you can possibly imagine. Now imagine if it was made in a Ugandan slum with no budget. Yes, that is this movie.
"If it's so low quality, why did you give it 10 stars???"
Because this film had my eyes glued to the screen the whole time. Not even the highest budget, best-shot film of all time can claim the ability to keep my 7-second attention span off my phone, but this strange-as-heck film kept my eyes wide and my lungs ready for laughter.
The plot is bizarrely nonlinear, the characters are great, the cinematography is surprisingly okay for it being handheld the whole time, there are more twists than a pretzel, and I would recommend this film to anybody. Plus, my laptop is now adorned with a Wakaliwood sticker, which came with the film.

At first I thought maybe 8/10 was too high a score, but then remembered that this 70-minute film contains:
- VJ Emmie crushing it and being constantly hilarious
- A bank heist
- A car chase
- Multiple shootouts and fist fights
- A prison break sequence
- A training montage
- Cows!
- A 6-year-old kid nicknamed Wesley Snipes (and sometimes called 'Ugandan Miyagi) who has super strength
- A courtroom sequence
- A token white guy who actually fits in surprisingly well and is pretty damn funny
- Poop humour
- A surprisingly heavy after credits scene that gives a big middle finger to Marvel's tradition of making the after credits scene goofy/fun
- An unexpected shoutout to 24 and an even more unexpected to the fantastic stuntwoman ZOE BELL of all people!!!
This is one of the best action movies. You can watch it on YouTube (for free). Ramon Film Productions have produced many great films including horror, action, drama, and more. Bad Black is a recommended watch for anyone who likes dedicated action movies. It brings you through many emotions and is based off of a true story.
