Wissenswertes
The first movie ever to include scenes in the Helsinki underground, opened in 1982.

Patzer
The Director is seen in reflection of Frank's (Sakke Järvenpää) sunglasses in "My friend got sick, can you help us" scene.

Zitate
Frank: [Frank stops a hearse] My mate died. I need this car.
Ruumisauton kuljettaja: OK.

Crazy Credits
The film has virtually no credits at all. There are no opening credits, and in the end, only the text "Loppu" and the production company's name are seen.

Alternative Versionen
All the scenes are intact, but the title card and opening credits are missing from the 2013 (1.85:1) HD master, which is featured in the Finnish streaming service Yle Areena and subsequent Finnish/international television, DVD and Blu-ray releases. The credits originally appear during the early scenes where the "Frank's" initially leave, walk out and past the Kallio Church (followed by a wider shot of the city of Helsinki) and enter the underground metro station. All credits are intact in the older, pre-2013 television airings and home video releases.

Verbindungen
Featured in Keskiyön auringon kuvat (1987)

After seeing most of Aki Kaurismäki's films and then veering back to his second film, it almost felt like I was watching an all-star cast because most of the actors he collaborated throughout his career is here. And, boy, did I miss my favorite Finnish actor, Matti Pellonpää.

I'm just happy Kaurismäki didn't continue directing while drunk.

It also reminded me of Reservoir Dogs. Did Tarantino saw this movie?
