Bad Black (2016)
8/10
Hard to put into words, and ridiculously fun
2 September 2020
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!!!
There's more but I don't want to ruin it. Of course it's not perfect, but it's charming and not only shows that Who Killed Captain Alex wasn't a fluke- it arguably exceeds it in quality. Great stuff, and free on YouTube to boot.
