Sneak Peek Goes Ringside For "Raging Boll"
British Columbia-based film producer/director Uwe Boll, noted for the video game-to-movie adaptations "In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale", "BloodRayne", "Alone in the Dark" and "House of the Dead", challenged four internet film critics to a 3-round boxing bout at Vancouver's Edgewater Stage, Plaza of Nations, September 23, with Sneak Peek seated ringside for the main event.
Co-ordinated by Bill Wanstrom of Vancouver's Wanstrom & Associates and announced by actor Michael "Streets of Fire" Pare, for GoldenPalace , the "Raging Boll" outdoor entertainment was also taped by Brightlight Pictures producer Shawn Williamson for an upcoming doc.
The first match began with amateur boxer, aka 'Deutschland Destroyer' Boll, playing straight man to challenger Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka, webmaster of somethingawful
The costumed Kyanka tried to work the crowd into a WWF frenzy but Boll was in no mood for clowning around and after planting a few good shots, swung hard with a blinding right, missing Kyanaka's face. Lowtax wisely feigned taking it on the chin, and stayed down for the count.
Second challenger, Jeff Sneider of Austin, Texas' aintitcool came out punching like a wannabe contender, but after brushing off a few deft jabs, Boll lost HIS cool and mercilessly pounded Sneider into submission.Third challenger Chris Alexander of Toronto's Rue Morgue, tried to give Boll as good as he got, with both fighters trading off several hunt 'n peck punches.
Unfortunately Alexander was unable to stay focused on the auteur, due to Boll's fists hammering away at his face, and he dropped to the mat, fading out of the picture.
Fourth and last challenger, teenage boxer/webhead Nelson Chance Minter, prayed for Boll's fatigue to kick in, but the sweating, snorting 'Destroyer' tapped into Minter's belly until the ref finally gonged the bell.
And that was that.
