reminds me of the overly-dramatic filipino movies that I mom buys from the bootleg spots. Good to know that campy melodrama movies are something that all cultures take part of
molly looks genuinely pissed in this video.
and her hair looks like crap.
@BarkImATree wow -_- racist
happy 70th annerversary of the Battle of Britian! Go Canada!
N(igger)ollywood
Atleast there aren’t any random synchronized dance sequences.
What’s with all the film makers getting -wood.
i seen a African movie before it was the most hilarious thing i saw … because i seen better quality from middle school students
I think there should be a MOLLYWOOD
Not enough of Molly in this video
Please make another channel for these contents…
shitty acting
@mikelae19 – Yeah, those are fuckin’ ridiculous, aren’t they? All of the Bollywood music sounds exactly the same to me, too.
rocketboom’s internet fanbase does not lend itself easily to a constructive discussion about african culture
so cool!!!
@Accisma – This is true. But to be fair, the only topic their audience really knows how to discuss at length is Molly’s boobs. Heh heh.
@B00NYK I’ve got mollywood right now
@Accisma – Ha ha. Good one.
@GreatCommunistEmpire its low budget – and its not like africa is full of stage schools is it? i say its great that african culture is moving into the movie business
At 2:49 the guy is talking about his movie but it seems the audience don’t care, they just keep talking instead of hearing what the guy has to say…
Can’t be any worse than the crap coming out of Hollywood.
Not enough Molly in this video.
molly would go crazy reading these comments but i just hope she feels proud and takes it in her stride that people find her so attractive instead of feeling bad about some comments haha talk about mollywood who was the great guy who coined this first lol!
what does rocketboom have to do with nigeria?
@luckystrke lol, as if you’d ever get the chance to see a movie they produced.. guess you’d actually have to fly to nigeria or get someone to send it to you.. so why the frustration?
i like that they’re making movies! altho the quality discussion is a serious issue =)
being open minded towards different cultures is a good thing since we all share the same planet which is getting “smaller” every decade.
@zubieta I’ve seen the same happening… at a marriage -.-*
Thumbs down if you think Molly is ugly, thumbs up if you wanna tap that.
@OzzyOzrock FTW!!!!!!!!!!
fast and cheep … thats what i like in a movie
@nickman777 do you know what rocketboom is? or….what nigeria is?
@Accisma Rocket Booms Fan base is racist
@Selo79 or a ludder…
@OzzyOzrock , we’ve got it
and to be honest, I would still rather see a low quality good story movie, than a piece of crap “HD” “unrated” “comedy” that come out in the u.s. every week.
1:08 holy shit, bitch just stole my soul with her eyes
i have a crush on molly is there a cure for that?
@Selo79 I like that in women
Looks like Mexican Soap Operas ( Novelas). Pretty cool that they are getting the exposure. Yes amongst all the typical perves who come here just to see Mollys tits and face. Some of us actually pay attention to the subject being promoted.
Nah, nothing beats the Ugandan Film Industry.
ALALLALALA ACTION!
lol, good luck nigeria, i wanna see you succeed
@nickman777 What does RocketBoom really have to do with anything? They just report the news.
They need to improve quality……’cause it’s looks like high school movies right now..
As long as Molly talks, I listen.
Are sure these aren’t produced by telemundo?
I’ve been watching these movies since I was little, being from an African family. I’ve always loved the acting and awesome special effects
looks crap.
There should be a Mollywood.
Oh wait…
@gamehero77 cool =]
When I lived in Togo I used to watch Nollywood movies alot. They’re certainly… entertaining ^_^
The first one is the porn industry. You can check it’s true.
Five more to 307th!
i like mollys haircut
This just in, nobody gives a flying fuck.
This is awesome! I had no idea about this … but when did it surpass Bollywood? (Or is Hollywood in third now?)
Molly looks nice in black.
wtf second…info fail…
nice video, a white girl teamed with black guys
Shame Canon films went out of business, they could have made a mint in Nigeria.
The first 20 seconds were good.
@Accisma It does, however (and I’m sure you’ll agree), lend itself quite well to whacking off to the host hosts.
Wow I thought it would be a town with poorly made buildings and no roads… and not an entire civilization
“who killed captain alex”
@greycolumbus black looks nice in molly
thumps up for molly
& Follywood looks to disprove quality …
That was highly interesting. I was completely unaware.
0:50 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Are you fucking serious ROCKETBOOM?
Its not like we don’t have enough BOMBARDMENT of Morales FORCING US to appreciate Africans…
Haven’t you heard, $800,000 of our tax money are going to Africa to teach them how to keep their balls clean…this is real people I’m not making it up
Search up “Obama’s genital-washing program”
im sorry but B movies are soo booring and i cant watch them, i don like them.
@Accisma Truth. It’sinteresting to me that a channel that is nothing but professional even when it is silly ended up with so many viewers/commenters who are so rude. even college humor videos have more constructive threads!
No films about a Nigerian princess whose husband has died and she needs your bank account details straight away so she can give you some of the money that he left her in his will? I get that script in my email inbox all the time.
@akira357 Haha so true. I’m sick of having African shit forcefed to us. The clip at :50 is far below even most amateur video in the USA. This is only getting attention because its African and semitical correctness requires we lower our standards and not point out that we’re lowering our standards.
@OzzyOzrock OzzyWood? xD
molly is angelic
that is all
love rocketboom
Molly <3 <3 <3
“fast cheap production” it’s the zerg of the movie industry
They should send Tommy Wiseau to Nigeria to show them how to make a decent movie.
i find it very ignorant to name people whatever-llywood, as if filmmakers from all over the world are trying to be commercial like Hollywood, which in fact is quite the opposite
Correspondent reports… Becomes a real youtube television… Between vlogger and television…
I wonder if I can buy one in Britain…
@OzzyOzrock
Winar.
@Accisma
And also winar.
What is up with all these cheap Hollywood knock offs. Bollywood. Nollywood. Enough with it already! They mass produce tons and tons of CRAP. I’ve seen this “nollywood” nonsense, they film it with a VHS recorder from the 90s and the story is shit. It’s like home videos, it’s worse than the little skits people do on YouTube.
@brandtproduction
These aren’t B movies, these are Z movies. Z for Zulu.
@thegodofs
that’s right nigger. we racist.
THIS IS ABSOLUTE SHIT ACTING. The worse acting in the ENTIRE world, ever to exist. Shakespear would kill himself if he saw it.
I’ve got a Mollywood on right now. =)
Great hairstyle Molly!
anyone else see jarjar binx here ? lol
yout hair… iz different.
Every industry has to start somewhere.
wtf? i thought bollywood was second largest. I’ve NEVER heard of Nigerian cinema. haha!
HALLEEEEELUUUUUUUJJAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
“acting is…. different”
Now that’s a nice way of putting it.
@halflifeproductionz bollywood is the largest
@GmasterRED no he wouldt he is dead
@GmasterRED please calm down…
never heard of nollywood
@aliceinchocoland what about hollywood?
@halflifeproductionz i’m guessing it’s on #3 now.. nollywood took over
@akira357
Circumcision reduces the risk of the spread of HIV/AIDS. The study you’re talking about looks at the feasibility of public education about men who are uncircumcised washing the area in question after having sexual intercourse with a woman who is or might be HIV+.
The point is to end the AIDS epidemic.
Or maybe you’d rather just adopt one million AIDS orphans. I’ll send ‘em over.
Why are Republicans so childish?
But.. But… Where’s Mollly? :runsawayandcries:
1:30 okey,,…..
WHO KILLED CAPTAIN ALEX!?
1:10 looks like her eyes are popping out.
is their a film about africans eating the poo poo?
There is a place in sweden called Trollywood. The area is called Trollhättan
@aarondkeogh ugandan pastor
Thumbs up if you watched only 20 seconds of the video
@Arat1t1 this guy isnt trolling. swede here, its true.
1:55 i love how he is saying action : )
this isnt daily interesting stuff
@ReliableInsider Yea..because OBVIOUSLY you DON’T get AIDS from unprotected sex
/sarcasm
It doesn’t matter if you wash your BALL SACK or not dumb ass, if you dumb enough to bang prostitute with no condom and get AIDS…then there’s no going back mother fucker! You can wash your balls till it as white as Michael Jackson and still you gonna stay HIV infected.
That’s why you DON’T adopt African babies that HIV+, adopt one that went through examination.
You fuck heads are so fucking retarded
niggerwood
Where can you find this, I’ve never seen any Nollywood movies in any of the states I’ve lived in.
@GmasterRED Creeper :p
what about bollywood???
Nollywood
Bollywood
Hollywood
Dollywood
Mollywood
Wtf?
In Canada, we have Canollywood.
@rickcheyne dont kid anyone, Canada doesnt have anything. HAHAHAHAHA just playin
@rickcheyne
Canolly? Like canola?
That could work. Movies about rapeseed..
@rickcheyne
I thought it was just Hollywood North. aka Vancouver… where all the american movies are made.
Best special effects ever! Even better then those of Freddiew
@Draegun Those dressing room trailers and bright lights are a nuisance aren’t they?
3min 26sec of Nollywood and 20seconds Mollywood… not fair :[
Movies sold in hair salons? Neat.
Dear Molly RocketBoobs,
Quantity is not better than quality…Hollywood has been cranking out train loads of crappy movies for 100 years, but no one seems to notice. We just got used to crap. Some crap is marginally less crappy than other crap. But, crap is still crap!
How about a film maker making socially responsible, or spiritually uplifting movies for a change?
hair looks nice
(Warning, this joke may have been told before. It is not strictly original and it is not meant to offend. Read at your own peril)
I wonder if any of their movies were about a wealthy prince who needs help investing his money, so he sends out emails offering several million dollars to any American (or whereever) who can accept it… after a small fee of say, $1000. The drama is, people believe he is a scam, when he is, in fact, genuine. Payoff is he finds true love with the cop who arrests him
Haha wow, my parents are African and watch these movies all the time. I honestly don’t know what they see in them. The acting is terribly melodramatic in most cases, a lot of the scenes are needlessly drawn out for no reason, and the stories and people are predictable and uninspiring. Not to mention the tacky DVD cases, and the fact that some movies even come on multiple VCDs.
I had no idea that the industry was so big, though. Second to Hollywood? Wow, I thought Bollywood was second. Who knew?
@310BPM I think Japan makes movies about rapeseed all the time. Its like saying hello.
Quality not Quantity.
@GmasterRED nice pun. I remember when i used to Carry Under-wood d^_^b
@Zetaman6666 just wait until they start up online distribution with rates of $1 pr movie (which could work for these low budget films). Then you’ll have a zerg going.
@PsychedelicVideos and porn is all you will get because women think your a cretin……go have a joint and a crank thrush boy…..
love
Any day now some “nigerian banker” will be sending out e-mails asking you to invest in Nollywood movies. Oh boy, I can’t wait!!! Im turning off all me e-mail spam filters right now!!
Nigerian opportunists.
very cool!
Nollywood is the best! If you want to know what to watch check out my site for movie reviews!!!
@newnilzizi That’s Uganda. Not the same country. Not even the same part of Africa.
i’m not a fan of the change of hairstyle, but molly’s awesome no matter what
These movies look like shit! I like it!
WHO KILLED CAPTAIN ALEX!!!!
@Zetaman6666 lol i bought SC2 too last week
i could watch molly talk about anything for hours.
Very interesting, but I find it strange that youtube has many better quality productions just from peoples own homes.
#FTW
