Uwe Boll wants to fight you if you think his movies suck
 

Hmm I wonder if Rob Schneider Vs Roger Ebert would be on the undercard...

Director invites critics to a smackdown
Jun. 14, 2006. 01:00 AM

VANCOUVER—Are you an in-shape male weighing between 64 and 86 kilograms and hate the films of controversial German director Uwe Boll?

If so, he wants to fight you in Vancouver as part of one of his films. The director of the recently released vampire flick BloodRayne, starring Kristanna Loken and Ben Kingsley, claims to be frustrated with critics trashing his films. Some, he says, do so without having seen them.

"Many journalists make value judgments on my films on the opinions of one or two thousand Internet voices," Boll said.

"On the message boards ... tons of people, they want to punish me kill me, grill me, shoot me, everything. The Internet threats are so full of hate a lot of times that I think it goes way over the top of normal reviews and normal talk about a director."

Boll is due in Vancouver in July to begin production on the super-horror film Seed. In Seed, the main character is subject to a failed electrocution and desperate officials bury him alive.

"He digs himself out of the grave and goes on a revenge trip," Boll said.

Once Seed is completed, Boll will go to work on Postal in late September.

The top five critics who sign up to fight him will be flown to Vancouver and will be extras in Postal. Five, 10-round fights will be staged over the last two days of filming and scenes from the matches will become part of the film, Boll said.

To be eligible, critics must have written at least two negative articles about Boll in 2005.

Boll said he has already received offers to fight him, but not from those critics he feels are qualified for the punch-up.

Is there a real trailer for that Dungeon Siege movie yet? That thing was UIC gold.

I still can't believe that this guy was drafted before Joe Dumars.

If Uwe Boll wants to fight everyone who thinks his movies suck, he's gonna be busy for the rest of his life. Good idea, I approve!

I swear this plot has been done before, or close to it. Killer is electrocuted & returns from the grave to create havoc. I just can't remember the name of the movie, something like Shocker or similar, playing on the electrical theme. Ring any bells for anybody?

Yes. You've got the title nailed. Wes Craven made it.

Yep, that's the one, now that you mention Wes Craven I remember it being his.
I was so sure that I didn't have the title right that I didn't even look at imdb.com originally.

I remember a movie where a killer was elecrocuted and his soul lived on in the electrical grid. I forget the name of it.

Yeah, the thread title should be "Uwe Boll wants to fight Everyone."

Ghost in the Machine, I think.

How is it that he's making a movie(seed) not based on a video game, also. I was counting on him to bring Dig Dug to life.

Maybe LoadingReadyRun can fight him and turn it into a third video about Boll.

Come on! This is clever shit!

What's your favorite flavor of skittles?

Not even manutely funny.

This does sound like a great opportunity to find out how many five-year-olds someone can take on.

*rim shot*

I thought he was talking about Uwe Blab... :(

Dola-

Booyah, vindication!

Interesting.. pick #22 in Round 7... I didn't think any W&M BBall player had ever been drafted... (granted, I didn't know there were 7 rounds back then either)...

Imagine that. You think folks do that with games too?

and he had his first fight..

That was pretty much my reaction as well.

Your necromancy confused me.

Funny clip about Uwe Boll on yahoo. Looks like he had some previous boxing experience in his past, and then beat the hell out of 5 of his critics.

Afterwards, he was quoted as saying "Contrary to what those stupid, weak critics say, I have now proven that my movies are fantastic."

Priceless LOL.

He beat the snot out of Lowtax from somethingawful.com, for those 8 people on the internets that haven't seen the video clip.

I'm surprised that Lowtax was still standing by the end of it. That was freakin' brutal. Before the fight, Boll told Lowtax that it was all just a publicity stunt, and Boll would go easy on him. As soon as the bell rang, Boll went all-out and just pummeled the poor guy.

I've got to admit that it was hilarious, though.
