    Yeah…a lot of directors say that after the movie comes out and everyone is laughing at it. Gotta save face somehow.

      They literally have scenes where the VFX is just a subtitle saying “VFX here”.

      It’s obviously purposeful.

      Nah the opening scene is legitimately funny. The dude’s parents get killed in a car bomb. And instead of showing a car exploding, they just have the text “VFX: Car on fire” where the car used to be. It’s definitely framed as a comedy right from the start.

      Get blazed with some friends before watching it, or turn it into a drinking game. You’ll have a great time. It’s definitely self-aware of how campy it is.
