Kill Buljo: The Movie

I am from the town that this movie was made in, and I have seen and talked to the director and the actors on several occasions.

I can see that it may be hard for folks that aren't from Norway to get the humor of the film, hell even the people who live in the southern Norway have a difficult time getting it all... So with that said, this movie is maybe not for everyone. It's not meant to be just a parody of Tarantino's "Kill Bill" movies, this film uses lots and lots of local humor which to other viewers may seem very lame.

So I can understand why this movie have got a bad rating here, but if we all came from northern Norway this movie would have 10 Stars :)

since i'm from Norway, i got to give this movie a "ten". not because i'm Norwegian but because this is a award winning movie. consider the budget these guys had to work with, it's the best parody ever made from this nation. and the comments in this movie are typical north Norwegian humor witch is a very Norwegian and almost a native thing. i salute these guys and hope Norwegian culture will be taken well in other countries as well. the city of Alta made this happened and it's the best from Norwegian humor. funny and good. i only hope they get to write the English subs themselves because then it get the way it should be and the points will be correct. enjoy

Oh my.

Well I did read the reviews so I was warned. I thought let's go and challenge good taste, and I wasn't "disappointed". Rolling my eyes so many times they almost fell out of their sockets, I still didn't find the sense to stop the film. I made it to the end, but I don't know if that's an achievement one should be proud of.

The low budget look is okay and the bad acting is just... bad acting, but this can be part of the "charm" in these type of films. Sometimes bad acting replaces or enhances humor because of the goofy look.

My conclusion is - what comes up when a group of people get seriously drunk and then one says let's make a film and all go haywire with ideas. The outcome is hilarious while you're boozed, but next morning you just moan and wince at the thought of it. Here, no one had the guts next morning to be the one pointing out that they'll better leave it.

Some "jokes" seem to be taken straight from the walls of a lavatory in the wrong part of town, just thrown in for the sake of it and where they couldn't think up something witty.

Mostly I winced. I laughed loud once (!) but sadly I can't remember where it was... the shock of this sudden spark in my numb brain blocked my memory completely. And I won't go boldly again to where no man has gone before to find it out.

Some reviews say you have to be Norwegian to "get it". Sorry but I can't accept this lame excuse for this humorous landslide of a film.

If you want to laugh about dialects and the prejudices people to their e.g. Northern or Southern landsmen, watch the french comedy "Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis" (Welcome to the Sticks). The humor was even able to be comprehended and found funny in Germany, in German dubbing (I haven't seen it in English, though).

2 stars for the "good" intentions. By the way, the road to hell is paved with these...

This is a must see! A group of friends from a small town i northern Norway has made a low budget spoof movie loosely based on Tarantino's Kill Bill - and it's funny as heck! For movie aficionados it contains references to a fjord-load of classics, from Star Wars to Deliverance, in addition to the obvious likeness to the two Kill Bills. Splatter, cheesy one-liners and arctic ass-kicking all rolled into one big snowball of lowbrow laughs. Oh, and plenty of ham acting intermixed with some quite talented amateurs. The snowmobile chase scene alone is worth the price of admission! It is quite interesting that this movie has been made with almost no support from the Norwegian film establishment, and yet it's a bigger hit with young audiences than most productions that costs ten or twenty times more to make. Just goes to show that an original idea and a love of movie-making wins over money and prestige every time.

Not a masterpiece in the traditional sense like Godfather or Lord of the Rings, more like "It's so bad that it can't possibly get any worse" type of masterpiece. I watched this movie for the first time this week, expecting it to be bad but wow... Just WOW!! I felt like a complete idiot everytime I laughed but I just could not control myself. The fact that this is not recognized as the worst parody ever made is beyond me. They purposely set out to make a terrible movie and they succeeded to say the least.

Truth to be told.. I didn't know whether to give it a 10/10 or a 1/10.
