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)

This is the only film I have seen in cinema twice in three days. I really loved it, it being very absurd. 17 Finnish-speaking men all named Frank, and one English-speaking(quite poorly) man named Pekka are on their way to the other side of the town -Eira, the escape from the dirty streets of Helsinki (where the night never seems to end), a task that turns out to be harder than one should expect.

This is the only film Kaurismäki has made either drunk or having a hangover, and he is not satisfied with it, but that shouldn't be a reason not to see it. It is very funny, and you ought to look out for details if you get the chance to see it, one example being a woman walking out from an airport, coming right out on a small street in the city.

Lots of dangerous grins, dark sunglasses, and no problems remembering the characters names. Great!
