I don't actually know why that is...but still. WTF?
Uwe Boll was actually exploiting a german tax law to get his F-grade movies made.
The tax law stated that as long as you were German and you used German money to get your movie made (in germany) then you were eligible to write the movie as a tax write off in you lost money on the project.
He got many German investors to put up money (along with his own Nazi money) and set out to make som of the worst movies to have big named actors released on the big screen. Even if the movie made a decent amount of money, the amount of money spent to make the movie was likely never recouped.
Which means that they get to keep all of that money and write the entire project off as an over all loss there fore making 100% profit off of pure and utter crap
p.s. I have never watched an Uwe Boll movie & all info was interpreted off of a wikipedia entry and discussion about it at work.
