On the other, it&#8217;s also excellent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shot for about 200 bucks by a bunch of people in a village in Uganda, it&#8217;s a faithful adaptation of a big budget action blockbuster that also gleefully mocks everything about the genre, including itself. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever watched a movie that came preloaded with its own heckler audio track. My favorite bit of low budget ingenuity\/ glorious nonsense is the bad guy with the giant tommy-gun that&#8217;s made out of a chunk of wood with a pan attached to the bottom who has a bandolier of bullets made from sharpened twigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t know that I need to see it again, but I&#8217;m glad I saw it once. If you watch it, heed the words of the narrator: expect the unexpectable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fake poster was a bit of a challenge since there is not one single decent quality frame in the film, but I embraced the spirit of the film and made do with what was available.  The reference poster is for a fairly recent film that had a famous director and won some big awards, but the poster wasn&#8217;t a standout. Reference movie title in the alt text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Who-Killed-Captain-Alex-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Poster for Who Killed Captain Alex? in the style of the poster for Killers of the Flower Moon.\" class=\"wp-image-2320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Who-Killed-Captain-Alex-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Who-Killed-Captain-Alex-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Who-Killed-Captain-Alex-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Who-Killed-Captain-Alex.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The greatest big-budget blockbuster ever made, except for the budget part.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2328,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"activitypub_content_warning":"","activitypub_content_visibility":"","activitypub_max_image_attachments":10,"activitypub_interaction_policy_quote":"anyone","activitypub_status":"federated","footnotes":""},"categories":[161,63],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-movie-pass-adventures","category-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2317"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2317\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2326,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2317\/revisions\/2326"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
