Full Plot Details

This biographical movie begins with a short blurb about Uganda, followed by the joyous scenes surrounding Amin's military takeover from Milton Obote. He goes about arresting and torturing the rebels. In his freezer he keeps the heads of his rivals and says: "It is a Kaqwa way. I talk to them". Amin then goes about having Asians expelled from Uganda saying: "Uganda is for Ugandas. There will be no more Shahs and Patels. Let them swim back." After the infamous 1976 Entebbe hostage situation where Israeli commandos make a daring rescue of their citizens who were taken into Uganda on a hijacked plane, Amin has Dora Bloch (the only hostage the Israelis couldn't liberate) killed. Amin then goes on to believing he is the 'Hitler of Africa' and promises that he will actually erect a statue in honour of his namesake "in the middle of Kampala". Amin becomes a rather childish and sick psychopath who mixes voodoo, rape, torture, and dancing. He says things like: "I am the best lover of Africa", "I'm big daddy" and "I am greater than Muhammad Ali". He practices cannibalism and takes part in motor rallies. He has rebels killed and dumped into the river Nile and is responsible for the deaths of about 150,000 people. Amin also changes allies with every new season, courting the British and Israeli's and then spouting some Marxist rubbish to please the Soviets. He tries to charm some departing Russians at the airport with some of the worst played accordion in history. Later he takes to Islam and when he finds his circle of friends rapidly diminishing is left with a motley bunch of eager beaver Libyans. There is a failed assassination attempt on his life. In 1977 he invaded Tanzania, loses the war and narrowly manages to escape to Saudi Arabia.

Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Krishna A"they all want amin, right baby?"
User Review - 10/10 by Eduardo CSure refreshing after watching 2 and a half hours of caligula. Entertaining not overblown with the gore. Sometimes the dialogue is a bit childish. But overall a good movie
User Review - 10/10 by Ian BStunningly violent and brutal film that comes off as a gory action film instead of a full documentary. I might consider it to be Men Behind the Sun Lite
User Review - 10/10 by Sean NIf it came down to this or Barbet Schroeder's documentary...I'd pick this
User Review - 10/10 by Tim Cits a cult classic "Give him and all of them VIP treatment"
User Review - 10/10 by Swami BThe Big Daddy of All Blaxploitation Epics! Oleta is King
User Review - 10/10 by Mike P"I am the greatest lover in Africa! I am the sex champion!" "I lost my temper! I killed the Archbishop!" Ah, you can take The Last King of Scotland and shove it up yer arse. This is the real deal!
User Review - 10/10 by Lorna OThis movie is a movie that leaves a lasting impression, of just what a madman Amin really was. Olita does a memorable, if not comparable role to Amin. It shows what happens when a war monger takes command of a tiny 3rd world country- Uganda. You better like this film or else....
User Review - 8/10 by Dickie RThis is a great movie done on low budget and using local talent...not the usual holywood cheezmix. the movie gives the viewer the eerie feeling of the brutality vested on Ugandans and foreigners by the regime. a plus movie to watch and treasure.
User Review - 8/10 by Jeremy Nthe great dick-tator. a world away from LAST KING OF SCOTLAND. i like to think of method man Gump Whitaker alternating between this and GENERAL IDI AMIN DADA: AUTOPORTRAIT for weeks on end
