See Uwe Boll's game: 1968 Tunnel Rats

by Justin McElroy on Sep 19th 2008 9:25AM

1968 Tunnel Rats is the Panama Canal of entertainment. Why? It's absolutely insane to think that anyone could actually pull it off and, if it does work, it will be a key conduit for international maritime trade. 1968 Tunnel Rats is a game and a movie being developed simultaneously. Oh, and the movie doesn't have a script, it's all improvised (which was a much better idea the first time we heard it in Tropic Thunder.) Let's see, are we forgetting anything? ... Oh, yes. Both are being made by Uwe Boll.

Brace yourself: We've got a trailer after the break.

How much you wanna bet that the game will still be nothing like the movie?

I'll admit to having a man-crush on 'ol Uwe. There's something about being the guy that'll do anything and do it cheaper that I love. He'll take any project (now matter how terrible) and give it his own special brand of cinematic justice. Investors must love him. He can take your regular run-of-the-mill turd, throw some sequins on it, and sell it back for pennies of profit. Remember, you don't have to make to blockbuster to make a profit.

Uwe's never going away!

I hope this game sells a billion copies. Uwe Boll's a renegade - he's a doer, he's in the game. The people that have time to complain are on the sidelines, they're just watchers. Boll has no time for watchers; he poops in the mouths of watchers - that's why he rules; that's why he's superior.

He uses a loop-hole in the german tax code, thankfully he has few people accually funding him.

Looks like garbage. Who keeps giving this guy money?

So he made a movie based on Nam, then made a game based on the movie? Good, it's only THE 90000TH GAME BASED ON A WAR OUT THERE BUT MADE BY THE DIRECTOR GAMERS LOVE TO HATE! I FEEL A PREORDER COMING UP! OR MAYBE I'M JUST ABOUT TO THROW UP!

It's the OVER NINETY THOOOOOOOOOOOOUUSAAAAAAAAAAAAANTH one eh? That's the biggest exaggeration in the entire universe

Sometimes when I run, I put my arms straight out in front of me.

So what they dont prepare me for is a helicopter crash, i thought at least it was going to be a alien invasion or a zombie war, buta helicopter crash, i think i would be prepared for that with all my videogame training over the past 16 years or so

That's a good point. Everytime I walk ouside, hell, everytime I wake up, I'm at least semi-prepared for a helicopter crash. If I were flying in a helicopter, I would expect to crash the whole time; I would be surprised at a safe landing.

"I've never seen so many dead hookers in all my life!"

"Lord knows I have..."

I can't believe no ones mentioned this yet. The trailer says you're not prepared for something, then it cuts to a helicopter coming down? WHAT?

I was thinking like aliens or something.

Also, Max Strongman might be the greatest name since MST3K did that space movie with Santa.

Well, they never could have prepared you for a helo crashing. Unless you showed up for training. Then, yeah, not so shocking.

You know it's true, though. You can never prepare for a burning helicopter floating down to the ground at 10 frames per second. There's just not enough money or time to ever get truly ready for something of that scope and magnitude.

I'm surprised no one is mentioning the dramatic text on the bottom of the screen during the helicopter crash. It reads:

"They're here - the Hueys are here, man! I knew it, I knew this wasn't for long, I knew it couldn't be real! I'm going home man, I'm going home!"

Can't you just taste the emotional drama? The heartbreak? Just when they think they're going home... BOOOM!

Man I'm getting chills...

That game does not look half bad. In fact I think it looks pretty kick ass. Keyword: LOOKS.
We'll see how things pan out though. This is "you-know-who" we're talking about after all...

i feel bad for anyone and everyone who has their name attached to a uwe boll project.

I even feel bad for the people who have to simply experience them, yet alone put hard work into them.

I know it's against the cool internet kid code but hey this doesn't look to bad and if Uwe Boll is making a movie based on his own material, on which he has an understanding , it probably won't be bad. Yes I hate Uwe Boll movies, but he actually has a chance here.

Yes start the flaming...

I struggle to believe this is real. I have a feeling Uwe has been setting the entire world up for some sort of massive Rick Roll. Maybe at the end of one of these tunnels?

Who mated with the horse? I thought there were laws about that sort of thing.

think that has damaged my eyes it looked so crappy...nice one boll im gunna hav2 go specsavers now u prick leave the games and the movies to the pros and just make flick-books or sumin u fecking shart

all of a sudden, that new 50 cent game is looking a whole lot better.
