for me, "flodder" is one of the greatest dutch movie's ever made. me coming from an average home and not being part of the "high society", i really enjoyed this movie, because i could relate. i still at this time have something against people who think "they're sh*t doesn't stink" so i laugh my ass off watching it. to me the best car chase ever is still the part where johnny (Huub Stapel) chases the tennis players who beat up his brother, ultimately ending the chase with those stuck up tennis players landing in a swimming pool of one of the recendents. oh sure, films like the matrix reloaded and the island had cool effects in they're car chases, but it didn't make me jump to the edge of my seat. flodder did though, because i WANTED the porche to crash or at least lose the chase. i still think it's a classic, and i think it will always be.

i've read some Belgium remarks about this movie and by some i'm insulted, not because of the movie but for example:"wearing wooden shoes" and saying that this movie is "average" don't talk about dutch cinema like that. what good has Belgium contributed to cinema overall? nothing.... only hector (played by Urbanus) i really injoyed and further more you're movie's were not even worth mentioning. THANK YOU.

I have to admit, I have not seen much of this New Kids Nitro thing, so I'm just riffing on that show here. What I have seen though is all the 3 Flodder films that were released and the first one is the best of the bunch. Fish out of water and all that stuff.

Now the humor is quite mad, raunchy and really way beyond anything someone would call political correct - do not even touch this if you have issues with that subject matter. Because nudity, swearing (foul language) and many more things that are offensive are included. This is what you get, but the movie is true to itself and it has an inner logic (something that gets compromised even in the first sequel) ... Juvenille anarchic - and just couldn't care less if or how many it offends along the way.

I ran this in my cinema..... and for kids! Oh dear!!... in the 80s we used to screen midnight to dawn marathons for teenagers (and younger) who all came, pajama clad and spent the night at the movies. THE FLODDERS was apparently some breakout hit in Holland so for the usual bizarre reason, it was rushed to Australia. So, in the tradition of SEXTETTE, or UNDERSEA KINGDOM, or AT LONG LAST LOVE.... it was plonked into a midnight to dawn show for 'wake me up' value. And eeeeeekkkkk! did it ever.... a never ending stream of vulgar gags about this drunken fornicating spewing bumpkin family who move to a stylish suburb and the skid-marked mayhem they cause. I clearly remember standing at the back of the theater watching from between my fingers as some oaf was fornicating on the bonnet of the family car... when it was revealed - ha-ha- he didn't know it was (wait for it......) his daughter! I ran screaming from my own cinema.
