Rampage: President Down


Rampage: President Down is a 2016 Canadian action thriller film directed by Uwe Boll.
It is the third film in Boll's Rampage series and a sequel to Rampage and Rampage: Capital Punishment, also directed by Boll. It is the last film he directed before his retirement in 2016. Four years later, Boll announced a comeback and, via YouTube, a fourth Rampage film that was in development.

Plot

Three years after his second killing spree at WK7 TV station in Washington D.C., Bill Williamson returns from hiding and, using a sniper rifle, assassinates the President of the United States, as well as the Vice President and the Secretary of Defense.
While hiding in his cabin in the nearby woods, Bill taunts the authorities and prepares for a final confrontation, expecting to die as a self-proclaimed martyr for his cause. In the climax, he engages in a prolonged firefight, killing numerous police officers, SWAT units, and FBI agents before being fatally wounded. His death, however, sparks widespread unrest across the United States, as thousands of supporters act upon his earlier video messages urging violent resistance against the wealthy and elite. The film concludes with a news broadcast reporting on the nationwide shootings and chaos, which is abruptly interrupted when the homeless man from the previous film attacks the station. Facing the camera, he declares that Williamson changed his life before shooting the lens.

Production

Boll attempted to crowdfund the film, originally titled Rampage 3: No Mercy, via Indiegogo and Kickstarter. In January 2015, the Indiegogo campaign closed after raising only $6,375 of a requested $100,000. In June 2015, the Kickstarter campaign raised $29,746 of a requested $55,794. Boll posted a series of two profanity-laced videos on YouTube in response, with one of the videos calling crowdfunding "absolutely dead" to him, and another wishing death upon several Hollywood celebrities.
Filming took place in January 2016, in Langley and Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada. The film's budget was $750,000.
