The shit was unhinged in the best way, and I keep thinking about the Narrator/MC. It threw me at first, but by the end I was loving the hype he was bringing.
Does anyone know if that’s typical of Ugandan movies? I had a theory that, because it may be harder to come by subtitles in some of the more obscure languages, that in order to be able to be able to enjoy movies in English, that having someone to tell you what’s happening might be just part of how its done in Uganda.
Anyway, I’ve got no clue, but in any case I loved it.
That type of narrator is known as a video jockey or video joker (VJ) and they are indeed a staple of the moviegoing experience in Uganda for precisely the reason you theorized: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/03/uganda-video-jockey-scene-movies
Cēterum cēnseō iūs auctōris esse dēlendum.Holy shit that’s awesome! I want to watch more, do you happen to know any more like this one?!
Bad Black is the only Wakaliwood movie aside from Captain Alex I’ve seen, and I can give it my personal recommendation. Wikipedia has a whole list of Wakaliwood’s filmography but I don’t know how many of those movies are freely available online, I see that Attack on Nyege Nyege Island and Crazy World have been uploaded to YouTube at least.

I’ve seen youtube clips, does he narrate the whole film? SUPA KICKA
Yes, the entire thing, lol
It’s so cool, every now and again at a party im hosting I’ll throw it up on the tv and it’s so easy to just watch the whole film without even realising you’ve been sitting down for >an hour
fuckinnnn love all the good SUPA ACTION and the extremely well coordinated genuine kungfu. That movie rules and not even ironically. It’s pure. It’s so pure.
SWAZI!!!

I have it on good authority that everybody in Uganda knows kungfu
and they love Space Cop
