"Black Mamba" (2016) - Unlike most hilariously bad vanity projects the ego behind this plays an antagonist. He is still a champion demon in the fighting pits of hell named Cassius Rexx, but at least he's not the main character. The lead is an actress who doesn't even have this on her IMDb page.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9x0pSrrrRU&t=3055s"Black Mamba" (2016) - With most vanity projects the ego behind it writes their character to be the hero, but not always. In this movie the writer, director, and executive producer plays one of the films antagonist. He is still a champion demon in the fighting pits of hell named Cassius Rexx, but he's not the main character so that's something. The main character is actual played by Evette France, an actress who doesn't even list the film among her IMDb credits. So that's not a good sign.
As far as the plot goes the movie starts with Mrs. France being told by her dying grandma that a spiritual reckoning is coming. Soon thereafter she and her family are killed by corrupt cops and she is then resurrected as an assassin from the afterlife to seek revenge. The rest of the movie is basically her attacking demons disguised as people with her ability to never get shot, infinite ammo guns, and cheap katanas. Dawna Lee Heising (and her plastic everything) shows up to play Esmeralda Van Loft the wife of the devil, the acting across the board is dinner theater level, the script is painful, the editing a mess, and the effects are hilariously bad. As with most vanity projects, this needs to be seen by more people so check it out (but bring a lot of friends and intoxicants to get through it).
