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

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

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

Curiosità sui crediti
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.

Versioni alternative
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.

Connessioni
Featured in Keskiyön auringon kuvat (1987)

Colonne sonore
Alkutekstimusiikki

Arranged by Mikko Mattila and Jone Takamäki

Saxophone: Jone Takamäki
Drums: Kaleva Raittinen

Following up a successful first movie can be a difficult struggle; Kaurismäki deflected it after "Crime And Punishment" by quickly doing this one, completely different and very funny. We're treated to a number of Finnish derelicts and lower-class guys in a poor suburb of Helsinki, as they decide to mount an expedition to reach the Mayfair of the city (just get there, that is). You'll immediately notice that they talk of this as if there lay a strange and superhuman challenge in just reaching the place. As their trials begin, we realize that maybe Helsinki _is_ a really dangerous city.

The film is full of scenes of weird comedy and pinpoint satire, and as an extra accent every one of the men is called Frank, except one. The film really rocks, and you'll keep wondering what happens next.
