Well, that timeline has already been derailed.
Watched it last night (on Tubi). Hilarious!!! Thanks so much for this discovery. I'm going to try to find other Wakaliwood films.
My log:
Many spoilers
-
The high security enclosure for the money exchange... is made of cardboard.
-
Narrator: "I have a key." Swaz smashes window with hammer. Narrator: "Ugandan key!" :D
-
How many Abba song titles is the narrator going to use?
-
OMG, this narration :D 🤣
-
SWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZ!
-
Swaz shoots cop up the arse. Narrator: "My bums!"
-
"I'm too old for this shit."
-
Chase scene squeezing through narrow gaps in shanty town. Narrator: "The unfittables."
-
After an absolutely insane pedal-to-the-metal opening 12 minutes, the orphan section really slows things down. But very soon "Ten years later". Phew!
-
Man with eyes closed in chair. Narrator: "Is he dead?" Man rouses. "Oh, this is Uganda, I thought he's dead."
-
"Sluuuuuurp"
-
"How can you love this roach turd?"
-
Little kid to US doctor: "I can train you to be a commando." SLAP! "First lesson." :D
Is that Wesley Snipes or 'Buddy' Spencer? -
Shanty town boys chasing white doctor as part of his 'commando' training. Narrator: "Get the muzungu. Eat the muzungu. Cook him alive! He must be delicious."
-
"This is ghetto. THIS IS GHETTO."
-
"Mamma mia." Another Abba song title.
-
Muzungu wants info on Big Black's location from little girl. Her: "First, give me my sweets." Narrator: "Ugandan women."
-
Cop explaining plan: "My kung fu cops will surround them."
-
"Predator's half-Jamaican, you know."
-
"Uganda's first women in prison movie", starring the female Bud Spencer! SLAP!
-
Supa criminal's demands: "... And I want '24' back on TV!"
-
"What a movie! Good thing it's over."
-
Character background? Narrator: "Booorrrriiing." Fast forward.
Yeah that would be my guess, too. Poor design choices making the user experience very frustrating.
Sorry, I should have been clearer. It's not a technical error message, but a media availability message.
- Contenido no disponible = Content not available
- Recuérdame - se te notificará por correo electrónico cuando esto esté dispnible - "Remind me: you'll be notified by email when this is available".
Lots of other movies on Tubi play just fine in my browser (Zen, mod of Firefox). But 90% of the movies featured on the home page are "Content not available".
Viewing above in Lemmy (Alexandrite), still no sound, although a small plus symbol appears when I hover over "orion".

I remember watching Death Race 2000 and some others on Tubi here in MX before it supposedly launched here, so I guess they weren't geoblocking back then. Unfortunately since the official launch, geoblocked to Tubi México only, with all films dubbed into Spanish and a different selection of available media compared to other countries.
I just remembered that there's now more overlap? interchange? between Tubi and Fawesome (both part of Fox), and the Fawesome website has Skyscraper in English and uncut, and doesn't geoblock me.
PS I've added the links for the movie on Tubi and Fawesome to the OP.
I was pausing frequently to do my "live log", so I guess that throws off my sense of the pace. But it seemed to move along at a fair old clip. For a straight-to-video flick, I'd rate the action pretty good, and the dialogue and performances as "so bad it's good".
Apparently so.
- Playboy Centerfold in 1992
- Playmate of the Year in 1993

You're welcome :)
TOS S01E04 "The Naked Time"
Where the crew contract an infection that brings out Irish stereotypes :)

Monsterdon is a weekly event on the fediverse, hosted by @Taweret@timeloop.cafe, where people watch a monster movie together by posting to the #monsterdon Hashtag.
More info
And this Sunday (Western Hemisphere, e.g. 8PM CT) (or Monday 1am UTC), the movie will be Forbidden Planet(1956)
By coincidence, I only recently watched it for the first time
Where to watch the film
- https://peertube.wtf/w/ehQReF6uWnXNmCLZwsEhV3 (where I watched it)
- https://archive.org/details/ForbiddenPlanet1956_201707
- https://youtu.be/HYjbn8f4PEY
- https://tubitv.com/search/forbidden%20planet (in some countries, not all)
- https://miru.miyaku.media/ (a linear stream synchronized for all viewers, go there near start time and find Forbidden Planet. It didn't work for me the last time I tried it, got an error like "Media in an unsupported format or server down", so have a backup plan.) More

I think you can go along with the live blogging via Lemmy if posts include the hashtag #monsterdon, but probably better to use Mastodon.
