More Than Enough: The First 11 Minutes of Uwe Boll’s Postal

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on August 26, 2008

I have heard from multiple sources — including three deities — that Uwe Boll’s latest film Postal isn’t worth the time it takes to break through the Fort Knox DVD packaging that it comes in — in you know the one, with the two little clippy things. But needless to say, I am constantly drawn to all things Boll — the man fascinates me to no end. Why? Because he continues to make movies the way he wants to make them, and people like Dave Foley (pictured above) continue to take their pants off in them. And whether or not the movies turn out to be a pile of excrement or not, that is an accomplishment that is lost on many of Hollywood’s director-types.

That said, I was obviously drawn to the following video embed, which shows off the first 11 minutes of Postal. And though it doesn’t show any of the scenes with Osama Bin Laden and George Bush skipping through a grassy meadow together, it does give us more than enough of the Boll experience for one day. Have a look for yourself below.

The only other reason that I am still planning on borrowing this from someone dumb enough to buy it is that I hear there is a scene where Verne Troyer gets raped by a monkey — and that I have to see.

Postal is on DVD shelves today. Thanks to FilmDrunk for the Hat tip.

  • I'm going to buy this movie and review the fuck out of it just because I want to go against the grain on this one. YOU HEAR THAT, UWE!!? You owe me your 27cents residual payment on this disc.
  • SUPERJUNK
    Who the hell is funding this mo fo. And why are people buying his movies!!!! Seriously the guy is killing so many movie titles that could be good. Im ashamed of you Robert Fure im ashamed.
  • Hey... uh... I guess I'm a total asshole. But I sort of laughed my ass off at the scene in the cockpit at the beginning. I mean, it was the worst combination of Quentin Tarantino meets David Zucker meets the Farrelly Brothers... but by God... I laughed.
  • I don't think it's Uwe Boll that Dave Foley is taking his pants off for.
  • Vin
    What self-respecting Arab would take a role in a movie like this?
  • Having seen most of Uwe Boll's films, I have to say this was his best yet...

    but then again, that doesn't say much.

    I'm in agreement with Mister Hand here, I laughed heartily. During the interview scene as well. I've just been riding the Uwe Boll hate train, and maybe I shouldn't be. Granted, I've seen a few of his flops myself, namely Blood Rayne, but these eleven minutes weren't so bad.

    @Vin - One who can take a joke? One who has the personality of the people this movie was aimed for? One who's still not so tied up on 9/11, or any other "politically incorrect" crap this movie might contain?

    I've never been one to hate on Uwe, I've just stayed clear of his movies, they do me no harm. So I guess I was more open to this than most people would be. Yes, what I'm trying to say is that I've seen the full movie. And yes... I actually kind of liked it.

    It's certainly better than the Scary\Epic\Superhero\Whateverthehell Movies. Not saying much, but hey, it's gotta be worth something. Right?
  • I'll admit I laughed a bit. I think it just frustrates me that there's always something terribly low-rent about everything he makes. Not tech-wise, writing-wise. The pacing on that interview scene made me want to throw my monitor down a hill just get some forward momentum going.

    His films are always so close to being Not Completely Terrible. If the guy would get a decent script doctor and an editor that could keep the pacing tighter, he might actually make a movie that's Halfway Decent.

    I dunno, this doesn't seem terrible. It looks more watchable then Epic Movie.
