The movie "I Kina spiser de hunde" is a very surreal movie in which white sometimes is black and vice-versa.
The basic plot is about a very naive young man - a bank clerk - who heroically foils a bank robbery in the bank that he works (using a squash raquet). He is then put on a guilt trip by a woman who claims to be the wife of the bank robber, and who claims that the money was for her in order for her to go to hospital and have an operation.
From thereon it just becomes more and more convoluted.
This is NOT the kind of film i would normally see, but I saw it by accident, and rarely have I enjoyed a movie so much. It is funny, well written and directed, but most of all it is extremely well acted. Also in the movie are many spoofs on other movies, like when two people replies to the question "Are you criminals???, No we're just the cooks"
This is a must see for people with a slightly twisted sense of humour, or people that just want to see an action movie that is different from the mainstream of what is normally shown.
I will not go into the ending of the movie, but some things that continously seemed out of place during the movie is nicely tied in a knot at the end, with a surreal touch that is almost Dali'ish.

Many of the comments comment on how the film was great and the TV series was funny but not great. The main reason for this is that the TV series had 25 running minutes and yet ran for 11 years, things get watered down after a while.
What many people fail to realize is, that the description in the movie of how the conditions in the Korean war were are not all that wrong. i am in the situation that both my parents participated in the war, my mother as a nurse on a hospital ship and my father as the ships engineer (this is where they met).
Their descriptions of what they saw out there, even in the watered down version that they are willing to tell are..... well.
A brief summary of the war, all the movement took place during the first apx. 10 months, first the South Koreans and the resident US forces where pushed almost into the sea and where locked in a small enclave around Pusan on the south coast. Then they pushed the North Koreans and their Russian allies to the Yalu river that markes the border to China. They where then pushed back to the 38th. paralell, where it all started. Then the forces remained locked in a trench war for more than 2 years never moving very far in relation to the 38th parallel.
The humor depicted in the movie while tough and very brutal at times, witness Spearchuckers comment as Haweye tells Duke that their ordes have come through and they are going home "Do you mind if we get out of this guys brain first!", Or Trapper Johns comment when he is first offered a martini in the Swamp upon arrival "What, no olives, you can't have a martini without olives", whereupon he proceeds to pull a glass of olives from his GI parka.
These are the little details that make the film great.
it is a film that you can see again and again and always find something new to enjoy.

Imagine that you put Barb Wire in a skyscraper, after the Die Hard model, add incredibly stupid dialog, and some free swinging 48" (or however big Anna Nicole Smith's mammaries are) appendages. Then you have more or less this movie.
If you are a man, the only thing that will hold your attention are the scenes where Anna Nicole Smith shows off her transplants.
You might want to watch the film if you are masochistic or have nothing better to do (like watching paint dry?).
The plot is: Tall high rise is taken over by terrorists, this building have a brand new state of the art electronic security system, that allows you to monitor and control the building from 1 central location.
The bad guys claim to be a international terrorist group in order to avoid detection of their real motive. However there is a fly in the ointment in that there are - in this case - two good guys loose in the building trying to spoke their plans.
The action consists of crawling through air vents, setting fires in order to call the fire department, picking off the terrorists one by one, ending in a fight where the leader gets thrown off the roof, to crash to his death 86 floors below. Other terrorists are also thrown out the windows to land on police cars......
Sound familiar ??????
The primary good guy is Anna Nicole Smith, proudly showing off her mammary development (transplant???) at various times, probably to keep the attention of the the few guys watching the movie.
Please do yourself a favor - don't see this movie if you have any choice.
