It's ok to parody the tragic events in our lives after some time. That's been done for centuries. And this is actually an interesting and even funny parody... it's just very bad timing right now. 9/11 - (especially right now - during it's 6th anniversary) hits many of us very hard. Many questions about that day are still not answered because of a horrible and corrupt investigation process. I don't think it's the right time for such a parody. Too many of us are still grieving for the loss of many valiant and wonderful people that perished that day. Thanks for the quality of humor of the script but the impact of the reality of the situation breaks my heart too much to laugh.

I'm sorry Patriot, but I thought this was hilarious. Of course, it is in a bit of bad taste, but I think that's the point. You are allowed to (and should) laugh at this sort of scene without diluting your feelings for the actual tragedy. It was well timed and played on the common feeling of doubt that we all feel about our convictions.

We often hear stories of detectives and coroners using dark humour to deal with the horror they see. I think if we cant take a step back sometimes and look at the amusing side in things, then it's a steady road to depression.

Well said, and I agree.. I don't disapprove of it and am curious to see more actually. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for your opinions. I feel the same about the posted scene, but the trailer leaves a strange feeling in my gut somehow. Too much slapstick for my taste. Not sure I would watch it at the theater.

Here is the trailer for the film: Postal Trailer

There are a few more out there if you do a search for "postal movie" on YT.

Interesting fact: The guy that plays Osama is the same one that played the "Soup Nazi" on Seinfeld.

Fantastic! If I could have given it 99 votes, I would have. 99, 100, what’s the diff?

I think the original story about the hijacking is bogus, but…doesn’t this strike home the absurdity of that popular jingoist meme: “they did it because they hate our freedom and for 75 virgins after death”? Isn’t it patently absurd? Can you imagine seizing the helm of a 757 at 32,000 feet and just tooling around the skies as if you were on a Sunday drive? It just doesn't work that way.

Thumbs up.

fuck that-these guys blow, and the writing sucks....plus its bad timing and in poor taste-dumb motherfuckers!

Please don't be offended. Would not want any feelings hurt....not really.

OMG, he has my cell phone. It's *terrible *sexuality humour. No, Uwe Boll is terrible , but I'll give it an upvote anyway because it'll be the only vaguely interesting thing (if still awful) thing UB ever creates.

I personally thought it was pretty damn funny. I subscribe to the theory that no subject is off-topic. We can laugh at anything. By setting it off limit it only lends to those who would use it as a tool to manipulate the public.

I think that something like 9/11 is especially pertinent to parody. It's crazy how much we elevated the event to such an untouchable plane (no pun intended) just because it hits so close to home (pun also not intended). 30 Rock did a small parody of sorts on terrorism in NYC.

Anywho, how come 9/11 is so untouchable, but the war in Iraq is ok to make fun of, even though the casualties and people affected are at least 10 times higher.

I received an forward (chain... spam) mail on the 11th saying that 9/11 was "the worst tragedy America has ever faced." Ummm, hello? Did we forget about the Civil War? I mean, psh, close to a MILLION casualties. 3% of our population at the time.

And don't get me started on politicians waving around 9/11 to justify their military industrial complex and invasive foreign policy.

Saw this a while ago before, and I have to say it totally changed my expectations.

I thought this was quite funny... played very well by the two leads. However... I have read a prominent film review that says that this scene is the ONLY decent scene in the entire film, and that the rest is just plain horrible.

I can't wait to see this. I haven't seen any other Uwe Boll films because of all the negative reviews, but this actually looks like a really ballsy concept

LePierre, I think you mean a Bollsy concept.

Ha.

I think you don't hear of female suicide bombers because the thought of 100 (or 99) pimpled 16 year old pale guys unskilled in the arts of love as a reward is not that appealing to any woman.
Dunno why they get so hyped about virgins.

What's a real tragedy is that some dumbass director thought it was worth making.

"What's a real tragedy is that some dumbass director thought it was worth making."

No, the real tragedy is that in the course of thirty (30) years, this is the first time I've ever seen Arabic men portrayed in a positive light in any form of media (film, television, or radio) in the USA.

(P.S. - what does "Gorgon Heap" mean? "(deleted)"?)

Hey rougy,

ever heard of freedom of speech? It´s what makes the clip you like possible.
It doesn´t spell "freedom to insult", be careful!

PS: This is Gorgon Heap

Hey Maatc.

I figured a Gorgon was a mythical ugly monstrous woman, and "heap" indicated something fat and lazy.

I thought the scene was quite funny. With that said though, it is in extremely poor taste as it uses 9/11 as it's backdrop. This scene would have been just as funny had it been your "standard" hijacking scenario (hate to use that word as no terrorist activity should be standard).

I'd like to hire two gunmen to kill Uwe Boll's parents, and then film a comedy about the incident. Surely he can appreciate the value of humor during the conversation the two gunmen have right before entering the house, right?

Upvote only for the comedy.

Upvote because i'll take this clip as what it is: a single clip, pretty funny in my eyes. And for the movie: i actually bought it (yesyes..), because it was cheap (4,99) and because the cover looked proming. I didn't really know Uwe Boll back then. But i can tell you one thing: The movie is INCREDIBLY, ABSOLUTELY and UNBELIEVABLE bad.
