Featured reviews
The story of Wakaliwood is so wholesome. This is a pretty well made and entertaining movie. Has more cohesive story than several blockbuster Hollywood movies. Not to mention the Twitch meta that these movies ended up creating.
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.

This film takes a very different style to Who Killed Captain Alex. It follows a long tale with many issues relating to current affairs in Uganda. The CGI has greatly improved from the previous film, with a clearly higher budget than before. VJ Emmie is great as always, and provides necessary commentary throughout the film.
Dont miss the end credits scene
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.
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!!!
