Read the plot synopsis for 'Rampage 2' with the :dwillhuh:

It's described as a "mass murder thriller film" :patrice:

He has enough money to play golf for the rest of his life, but won't put up some for his own movie. :usure:

And the first one at least was direct to DVD :francis:and I get the idea the second one didn't really set the world on fire either.

But whatever - He's obviously passionate about it. How much was he asking?

:mjpls: with that talk about his Darfur film being supposedly enough to stop genocide.

"Some retarded vizard in the forest"

How has he been getting funded all these years to make shytty movies? And why isn't he going that route this time?

I like how he excluded Ben Kingsley when he was calling people bullshyt because Ben Kingsley has worked with him and he didn't want to fukk up that relationship.

He's an a$$hole but this is funny and at least he's real about it.

Because he was exploiting a German tax law for the first couple of years so he could fill his own pockets.

"But crucially, the bizarre tax laws in Germany mean that any wealthy Germans who invest in a movie can write-off the production cost, delay paying their taxes and generally reduce their tax burden. When you disseminate all the boring legal business law surrounding it the bottom line is this – the German investors in a movie only pay tax on any RETURNS the movie makes, their investment is 100% deductible, so the minute the movie makes a profit, said investor has to start paying tax. Plus the investors can actually borrow money to put towards investment and write that off too. Assuming you’re a sharp enough businessman you have a potential goldmine in the making; a way to make money from investing in bad movies... "

He purposely made trash and continuously acted as a dikk in interviews so his movies would fail, because if they would start to make money, he would be losing money. After a year or so they found out he was purposely exploiting the system, so they changed the law, but not before Boll quickly put a bunch of movies in pre-production so they would fall under the old tax law. After that he started playing the same game he 'exposes' Hollywood for in the second video, attracting outside investors who'd pay for the movie's production cost (which conveniently includes Boll's own salary) while he invests none so he'd just be cashing in his paycheck.

It's because that game has run dry for him now too that he turned to crowdfunding.
