Q:"Why is Dragonball and Streetfighter in the same subject?"
A: They are upcoming live action movies made by Hollywood... :S

WHY?! OH WHY?!

The casts don't look terrible and at least Uwe Boll isn't involved in making either of them.

Don't forget the Max Payne movie starring Marky Mark.

I'm actually expecting something half decent for DBZ since Stephen Chow is producing it, and he's not only a fan of the franchise but well... he's Stephen Effing Chow. Even if he's not directing it, I'm hoping he'll have some creative control.

The SF movie is just going to be some vanilla-pop-typical-post-matrix-Hollywood-kungfu-show. Not looking forward to it at all. Unless Kristen Kruek starts throwing fireballs ST style.

You know, these movies would be better if Uwe Boll was a part of them. If anyone knows how to hack like a pro, it's him. It takes a very special talent to make movies that bad, it's just under appreciated.

Yeah, no joke. I heard Boll plugging his Postal film by saying that they have a scene where Verne Tryoer gets anally raped by monkeys. That's his idea of a selling point.

I actually haven't seen a single Boll movie nor i feel like interrupting this winning streak, but every time i read quotes from this guy i have the impression that he might be onto something, not something good per se, but he might be not as dumb as he looks/sounds/writes etc.

I'm sure he probably has the ability to make a decent movie, but being a shitty director is niche position. I mean, for all the bad rap he gets, it's just more publicity, and in Hollywood, no publicity is bad publicity right?

Hell, a sex video turned Paris Hilton into a household name (God I hate celebrities).

Exactly. Uwe Boll has colossal notoriety among gaming communities, some of which who would like to see the man dead only because he makes garbage video game-based movies that no one is being forced to see. Matter of fact, I doubt that many people without an interest in gaming have a damn clue about who he is or what his profession is.

Let's be honest. Does Uwe Boll genuinely care about the kilotons of NERD RAGEâ„¢ being lobbed at him from droves of Internet users that bitch about him whenever a new project of his is announced? Yes he does. He eats that shit up like 2G1C and he loves being hated because all of it is attention for him at its base core.

Personally, Uwe Boll has a Who Cares Factor of about 8/10. He's not even worth an online petition.

What I want to know is where he gets the funding to make his movies. I mean have any of them turned a profit? I guessing it most somehow be so otherwise he wouldn't kept geting the cash to make these turkeys

Well, before it was supposedly some German tax loophole for movies that bomb, but it's been closed. So who knows now.
