History Film / Rampage2009

** The end of the third movie has [[spoiler: Bill's followers storming Washington D.C. and wiping out the security there by force to take power away from the wealthy elite and decision makers who only intend to serve the elite while Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Wall Street and the US military's outposts are also facing similar lethal revolutions]].

* BigBrotherIsWatching: Bill in his video messages protests that the [=NSA=] should not be recording and keeping track of every phone call, email and text message sent by American citizens because that is an infringement on personal privacy and rights. Bill then hails the efforts of Julian Assange, Bradley/Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden in exposing these secrets.

In April 2020, Uwe Boll said that he is developing a digital platform ''Rampage'' video game tentatively titled "President Evil" where you play as Bill Williamson and shoot down the President of the U.S. and launched a Kickstarter campaign for it. Supposedly, this game occurs between the second and third movie.

** There's one about gun control: Bill even spoon-feeds the viewers the moral importance of gun control in the second movie, claiming that his own shootings and rampages were made possible by the government's greed because the gun industry pays senators. Bill points out that gun purchases don't even mandate background checks ([[HollywoodLaw although he's not right about that either]]), but this is somewhat of a BrokenAesop because 1) Bill outright encourages people to use violence to overthrow the government thus meaning that guns in the hands of citizens are essential in the scenario of ending political corruption, 2) guns and explosives can be obtained through black markets instead of solely gun stores (the United States even has its own Dark Web of guns) and 3) criminals such as Bill could have intentions to use guns to shoot innocent people even before committing their first crime, allowing them to have clean records before purchasing guns such as in the case of Dylann Roof. Also see HollywoodLaw below because Bill's explanation of gun laws in the United States has been pointed out by viewers to be less than accurate and not as lax as he thinks.

** This is the main plot of the second movie, where Bill seizes command of a national television news station and forces them to play his agenda there enticing and appealing to the public to revolt and arm themselves to overthrow the government and the wealthy elite and take back power of the country by ripping apart Washington DC.

''Rampage'' is a 2009 independent film directed by Uwe Boll. Despite its name and the fact that it's made by a director most famous for video game adaptations, it is unconnected to [[{{VideoGame/Rampage}} Midway's series]]. The plot concerns a young man named Bill Williamson (no, not ''[[VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption that]]'' [[VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption Bill Williamson]]) posting vlog rants about how the world is overpopulated and society's going down the drain, while building a suit of body armor and stocking up on weapons, leading up to a bloodthirsty rampage through his town. Amazingly, given the poor reputation of its director, [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct it's actually a pretty good movie]]. The sequels are about Bill trying to rile up others through means of Internet or television to join in on his rampage.

* TooDumbToLive: The coffee barista from the first movie. He works at a coffee shop that is open to the public so that anyone can find him, and yet he chooses to be an asshole.

** In the second movie, Bill denigrates Steven Spielberg has ''Film/{{Lincoln}}'' make it out like Abraham Lincoln wanted to free the slaves. Bill asserts the purpose of the Civil War was to re-unify the States under one centralized government and that the North and South fought each other over money and the stronghold slavery had on all means of economic production in the United States, not necessarily slavery itself. And not only is Bill angry that ''Lincoln'' is whitewashing history, it's also being played in schools and [=TV=] non-stop.

* MilitariesAreUseless: Bill does acknowledge that the United States Armed Forces are the most powerful military in the world thanks to technology handed to them by Silicon Valley geniuses to the point no enemy would ever dare invade America. But he protests the U.S. Army soldiers are nothing more than puppets of the nation's richest 1 percent who, in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks which Bill claims was funded by Saudi Arabia, attacked Iraq instead. In the epilogue of ''President Down'', anarchists who sympathize with Bill rain hellfire down on military outposts.

* HollywoodAtheist: Bill, a vicious mass murderer, declares there is no God and views religions as just one among many scams, with [[CessationOfExistence death being the end]].

* StrawNihilist: Bill often rants about how there is no God, people are all slaves to their leaders, modern life in general is meaningless without violence, and humanity is doomed to extinction by the year 2100 when planet Earth is devastated from pollution and loss of clean air and water.

** In the second movie, Bill denigrates Steven Spielberg for converting ''Film/{{Lincoln}}'' into a propaganda piece to whitewash history to make it out like Abraham Lincoln wanted to free the slaves.

In April 2020, Uwe Boll said that he is developing a digital platform ''Rampage'' video game called "President Evil" where you play as Bill Williamson and shoot down the President of the U.S. apparently taking place between the second and third movies.

A sequel, ''Rampage: Capital Punishment'', was released in 2014. The third and final film, ''Rampage: President Down'' was later released in 2016, which served as Boll's last film as a director. It was to be funded on Kickstarter, but failed to make its goal. Because of this Uwe Boll decided to quit Hollywood after ''President Down'' and will no longer be making any movies because of funding problems.

* SheKnowsTooMuch: Bill [[spoiler: slaughters the female patrons of a hair salon when he realizes that because he took his mask off, they know what his face looks like]] and he doesn't need anyone reporting him to the police.
