Includes "German Fried Movie", "Das Erste Semester", and "Barschel - Mord in Genf?" - two comedies and a murder mystery, respectively. These are among Boll's first films, which helped him gained some recognition in Germany for his unabashed style of comedy and action-violence.

Boll's first-ever American production, starring Casper Van Diem ("Starship Troopers"): a brilliant businessman, bored with his existence, becomes a serial killer. Shot on a $3 million budget, it was released straight-to-television, and is little-remembered in most circles.

Also known as "Backflash 2": a man is accused of murder and manipulated into a web of deceit as his thought-to-be dead twin brother plots revenge on those who tried to kill him. Stars Dana Ashbrook ("Twin Peaks") and Robert Patrick ("Terminator 2"). Boll served as executive producer. Writer/director Paul Cade has yet to work in film again.

Boll's take on the Columbine school massacre, told through the eyes of a teacher and his students. Starring Jürgen Prochnow ("Dune") and Michael Paré ("Starhunter"). Although the film met overwhelmingly negative response for its one-sided, two-dimensional approach to school shootings, some critics compared the film favorably to Gus Van Sant's "Elephant" of the same subject matter.

After gaining infamy for "House of the Dead", Boll was a prime contender to make a cameo appearance in "the ultimate B-movie". The film - a big spoof on zombie-oriented horror pictures - gained some pre-release publicity for actors Gary Coleman, Duane Whitaker, and boxer Tommy Morrison publicly turning down roles for the film.

Foregoing the opportunity to direct the sequel of "House of the Dead", Boll combined vampires and renowned actor Ben Kingsley to craft "BloodRayne", yet starpower did little to lift the film's fortunes, and response to it was consistently poor; criticism included Boll's decision to hire prostitutes instead of actresses as extras, and the film having very little in common with its source material.

Backed by his biggest budget yet ($60 million), Boll promised "Lord of the Rings"-caliber thrills for his action-epic...yet the film was overwhelmingly regarded as nothing more than a "LotR"-ripoff. Billed as a big-time blockbuster and advertised without Boll's name, the film still did disappointingly around the world, making back only about a sixth of its budget during its theatrical run.

For his first non-VG project in almost five years, Boll directed a horror film about a serial killer risen from the grave to reap revenge on his executioners. Reportedly filmed without a script, the explicitly violent splatter film features footage of legitimate animal abuse (supplied by PETA, which was given a share of the film’s profits) and stars Boll-regulars Michael Paré and Will Sanderson.

Considered by some to be Boll's most mature movie to-date, the brutal story of US combat unit sent on a suicide mission into the underground tunnels of the Vietcong was released in only one American theater but gained some of the director's most favorable feedback amidst the expected bashing. It shares the 2007 Razzie award for "Worst Director" along with "Postal" and "In the Name of the King.
