Postal (2008)

POSTAL is insulting, irreverent, politically incorrect and funny as hell. POSTAL follows two days in the life of the Postal Dude, in the ironically named town of Paradise. Just when he thinks he has hit rock bottom, things get worse. Sharing a trailer with his ever-expanding wife, beautiful, Dude is in a bad way. After a humiliating job interview and a nearly lethal trip to the welfare office, Dude finds himself on the doorstep of his Uncle Dave. Despite being the successful leader of the town cult, Dave is also finding himself in financial difficulties. The Postal Dude ends up involved with Uncle Dave's cult in a plot to steal rare Krotchy dolls from the new amusement park in town to sell them at an internet auction for a fortune. However, Osama bin Laden is also in the Paradise amusement park, and plans to do much the same, only he will plant biological weapons inside the dolls before selling them. The two sides end up in a war over who will get to steal the dolls. |||| In this film director Uwe Boll roasts an entire herd of sacred cows and smashes taboos to smithereens in this over-the-top and hilariously subversive critique of modern day America. Inspired by the notorious videogame of the same name, POSTAL is a jaw-droppingly original spoof of contemporary culture and an equal opportunity offender, lampooning religious extremists, minorities, bureaucrats, immigrants, cops, women, the Holocaust, gun nuts and more with evenhanded abandon. Boll himself also appears in the movie, playing a parody of himself, what he calls a "mini-Nazi", who (clad in Lederhosen) opens a "mini-Auschwitz entertainment palace" in Paradise City. In a scene set at the amusement park, he's also seen to say that "My movies are financed with Nazi gold." (a response to an actual accusation rumoured on the Internet). The fight over the Krotchy dolls ultimately ends in a wild gunfight during which Boll is being shot in the scrotum, his last line being "I hate video games.
