Who Killed Captain Alex? | comment |
Who Killed Captain Alex? is an independent, low budget Ugandan action movie, produced by Ramon Film Productions, and is billed as "Uganda's first action movie". The film was made for over a year and a half in early 2010 on a budget of less than $85 US Dollars (215,000 Ugandan shillings; or about $256 at Uganda's 2010 private consumption PPP conversion factor), which was raised via crowdfunding websites and donations. It was mostly filmed in the Wakaliga slum of the Ugandan capital of Kampala for much of its production, and a majority of the props seen were homemade. Much of its popularity overseas is owed to its energetic YouTube trailers, low quality but exciting action/gunfight sequences, and authentic action styling and camera work.The plot begins with Captain Alex, a highly-skilled Ugandan Special Forces (USF) officer and a celebrated national hero, being ordered by the President of Uganda to take his platoon of commandos to the jungle to carry out a deep raid on a base that is home to the deadly Tiger Mafia gang, described as a large gang that rules Kampala and the suburbs around the city with an iron fist, now on the run due to several defeats at the hands of the USF. After stealthily sneaking into the base, taking out a few guards, and directly assaulting the base (interrupting a drug deal that the gang was conducting and getting the USF into a deadly and long gunfight with multiple Tiger Mafia goons), the USF commandos manage to capture the brother of the gang's leader Richard and escape unharmed.The distraught Richard (after learning of his brother's capture by the USF on national TV), with the help of his double agent/spy on the inside of the USF command structure, retaliates with a massive assault on the USF base that results in the death of Captain Alex (it is disputed who killed him, however) and the USF falling into disarray for quite a while. Now it is up to Bruce U, a mixed martial arts master and the dead captain's brother, to get revenge on the Tiger Mafia and bring Richard to justice before he, his Tiger Force goons, and his squadron of attack helicopters put a plan into motion to destroy Uganda's cities and bring down Uganda's government for good.The entire adventure is (sorta) narrated by VJ Emmie (who is known in Uganda to narrate other films), a video joker — a commentator/translator who will occasionally add their own input, crack jokes, or just shout out random words. The full film was released on Youtube in 2015, and was released as a Blu-ray double feature in June of 2019 with Bad Black. | |

Who Killed Captain Alex? / int_11ec1fd5 | comment |
Off-the-Shelf FX: A consequence of the near nonexistent budget. All the gunfire, bullet holes, helicopters and explosions are fairly blatant plug-ins from a video editing program. The guns that weren't crudely-made props are cheap toy guns one could buy from a dollar store. | |

Who Killed Captain Alex? / int_1649e053 | comment |
Your Mom: After Captain Alex breaks up a bar brawl between his soldiers and the villagers, one of the villagers throws his drink at him in anger. He is then thrown to the ground by Alex and one of his soldiers, picked up by Alex by collar, and asked who he is. He answers with "yo mama", which earns him being thrown on the ground again. After the soldiers leave, he vents on a hapless barmaid by throwing a bottle at her. A similar insult instigated the fight, except aimed at someone's wife: | |

Unreliable Narrator | |
Who Killed Captain Alex? / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: "Video Joker" Emmie provides a very colourful commentary throughout the movie. Occasionally he provides narration or explains who is on the screen (e.g "Tiger Mafia, the most deadliest gang in Uganda"), but most of the time he is translating random snippets of dialogue, making sound effects, riffing, laughing, or just shouting the word "Movie!" or "Hello!" for no apparent reason. | |

Who Killed Captain Alex? / int_2311e2de | comment |
Accidental Aiming Skills: The way both the USF commandos and the Tiger Mafia goons hold the guns (hip-firing with sweeping motions and spraying and praying from cover with no iron sights) makes this trope come into effect, because although is almost impossible to hit someone if you use the posture they display here, they still manage to rack up a huge body count regardless. | |

More Dakka: Whether they are mercenaries/guns for hire, Tiger Mafia goons or Ugandan Special Forces commandos, they all resort to indiscriminately blasting each other with machine guns if they get into a fight, with hip-firing that would be expected of a wannabe Rambo and aim that make you fail a basic firearms accuracy course. | |

Who Killed Captain Alex? / int_2cbcf42e | comment |
Black Comedy Cannibalism: A rather literal example. One guy mentions cooking "German Food" and when asked for details, he says he found German tourists and cooked them. The soldiers who talked with him thought it was delicious, and one even wanted the head. Like Predator. Then again, this was narrated by Emmie, so it's debatable if it's what they actually said. | |

Sighted Guns Are Low-Tech: Apparently, this trope comes into effect when most of the gun users don't even use iron sights. The red mercenary's hand held machine gun, when he is fighting the USF commandos, comes with no iron sights at all, so he basically hip fires it for the entirety of the fight, who still manages to rack up a huge body count in spite of it. | |

Reality Has No Subtitles: Parts of the movie are either not subtitled or "subtitled" with a textual version of VJ Emmie's Gag Dub (likely because, according to the intro, the movie was initially made for internal circulation in the director's village, which is probably also the reason for Emmie switching from English to Swahili from time to time), leaving the audience from outside of East Africa (where Swahili is spoken the most) at a loss to what the actors really said. | |

The best example of this comes when Richard the Tiger Mafia has captured a beautiful young woman, ties her up and tries to force her to marry him. All Played for Drama, of course. Then out of nowhere, a heart-shaped filter appears over the two of them, and the narrator announces "Welcome to Uganda!" | |

Soundtrack Dissonance: The movie is scored with whatever music was royalty free. VJ Emmie lampshades the use of totally inappropriate music as the Tiger Mafia gang doing an Power Walk to the sound of soft, soulful piano music (actually a MIDI cover of ABBA's "Mamma Mia"). Also, a panpipes cover of Seal's "Kiss From a Rose" plays during completely inappropriate times, like during a serious drama scene or a stealth scene. It just makes everything comedic for some reason. | |

Mildly Military: The Ugandan Special Forces Commandos and the Uganda People's Defence Force soldiers that support them. Let's see the reasons why. The Ugandan soldiers and commandos in this movie wear camouflage clothing you can find in a typical Walmart or military survival store and wear no identifying patches, body armour or even military harnesses or gear. The command structure for the USF is little seen, and the ones that do often tend to go into combat like a regular soldier. The tactics and strategy for both the initial attack on the Tiger Mafia base and the final assault to kill Richard is basically a Zerg Rush with some military style cover shooting and moving up involved. | |
