>no other countries — apart from Korea, Taiwan and Thailand, all then under Japanese influence — adopted such an excellent and fun idea.

Some movie theaters in Uganda also have live commentary and translation, provided by "video jokers". You can hear such commentary by VJ Emmie in the famous Ugandan action movie "Who Killed Captain Alex?", which you can watch on the Official Wakaliwood Youtube channel:

Despite the very low budget, the movie is surprisingly entertaining, and the commentary makes it even better.

> Squibs used to simulate gunshot wounds were made from condoms filled with red food coloring and tied to fishing lines before being taped to the actors' chests; Nabwana previously used cow blood, but was forced to discontinue it after one of his actors developed brucellosis.

On the more lighter side of things:

> Throughout the film, a panpipes cover of the Seal song "Kiss from a Rose", as well as a piano cover of the ABBA song "Mamma Mia", can be heard.

The commentary is the best part. Everybody in Uganda knows Kung-Fu!

Is this the movie with the awesome helicopter scene?

Yes, where the Tiger Mafia steal a police helicopter, and blow up a building, with incredible CGI.
