New Kids Nitro

"New Kids Nitro" is a 2011 Dutch comedy directed by Steffen Haars and Flip Van der Kuil starring Huub Smit and Tim Haars. The last film was too much of a mindless fun that my brother and I couldn't help but purchasing and watching the sequel as well. What can I say? Between all of those cinematic masterpieces there needs to be time for trash like this. Oh, and I enjoy any minute I can shut my brain off and laugh at the most stupid friend group from Maaskantje. There's actually nothing to add to what I said about the first film, it's equally enjoyably terrible. Ridiculing the concept of their own show and the predecessor, the film takes place after the devastating events of "Turbo" and creates an untypical and highly questionable genre mix that really doesn't take itself seriously. It's stupidly epic and epically stupid and everything in between, but it's such a wholesome good feeling I get when I follow the deeds of the maniacs Richard, Gerrie, Barrie, Rikkert and Robbie. They might be antisocial elements and probably the worst any society has to offer, but I love those absolute idiots, especially when they are competing with a rival gang from the detested neighboring city, Schijndel. It's the ultimate showdown of the lowlifes and of course you root for Richard and his boys. In what seems to be the Netherlands's answer to "Fast and Furious" they live out their conflicts and one dirty and stupid joke follows another. If you think that's already all this film has to offer, it all suddenly turns into a zombie apocalypse feature as well. The visual effects and makeup are of course absolutely terrible, but they make it work in an extremely cheesy way. Again, their running gags and jokes caught me off guard again (zombie car race) and when Richard begins to fight like a beast to save his mother (all the while undressing himself?) it's so strangely epic and so much fun. Still better than the latest seasons of "The Walking Dead". Not (?) All in all, it remains a totally mindless guilty pleasure that lives from its likeable protagonist morons and creates a horrible genre mix. It's New Kids. Don't take it seriously, they don't even do it themselves. It's simply there to appeal to the most retarded kind of humour in all of us and doesn't want be anything else but enjoyable trash. I think I'm correct saying that we all love those lowlifes with all of our hearts. I hope there's gonna be another sequel sometime.

New Kids Nitro attempts to build on the success of its predecessor but falls short in delivering the same level of entertainment. While the outrageous humor and chaotic characters return, the novelty that made New Kids Turbo so enjoyable has worn off. The jokes feel recycled, and the plot lacks the energy and creativity needed to keep things fresh.

That's not to say the film is devoid of fun, it still has moments of absurd hilarity that will make fans of the first movie laugh. However, the repetitiveness and weaker overall execution make it clear that the concept is starting to run out of steam. It's an okay watch for fans of the series but doesn't come close to the impact of the original.

Damn Mongol damn! BAM! Maaskantje vs. Schijndel man! -Censure censure-, never more work! -Censure censure-, never work! BAM! Verrektu Mongol!This movie is damn bad man. So bad I got sick of it... You could almost say that New Kids Nitro could not be worse. I give it a 10 because it was so terribly bad that I enjoyed it. Let's say we have a genre of 'Comedy Trash and laugh like hell' with this kind of movies. Zombies are an important part of the part, but why? Zombies are so old fashioned and to take just that than in a movie to make a story: is it image filling? Yes I think so.

The writers had their crate of beer and a few joints and then wrote the storyline of this film in barely fifteen minutes so do not expect lofty techniques or great story: It's like NEW KIDS you know from Part 1 and Comedy Central: just -censure- with lots of gratuitous violence, profanity and scolding ... and that's wonderful.

Super Movie to gather with friends with a bucket of beer to view this movie. I come from the 90's and I was a 'gabber' at that time: so Paul Elstak and other music are great. A big 10 for the pointlessness of this movie, I love it, great! Pity that no more new parts will come, because the creators stopped with the New Kids:-(

Well sort of new tricks. The whole (simple) story is being held together by some bookend gimmick in a cinema with people watching the new kids doing their thing ... it's all rather meta ... well to a certain degree. Do not expect this to be philosophical or anything. Also it does make sense to at least have seen the previous movie. Maybe even the tv show? That I have not done (yet).

But as with the previous movie the boys (Junge as they in the german dub) are anything but a moral standard ... they are as vile and as curseful (is that a word?) as they were in the previous effort. With more mayhem and action to follow. And no prisoners taken ... and even quite the disturbing (and disgusting scenes added .. some of sexual nature, if you want to call it that) ... very disturbing stuff indeed ... and not for anyone easily offended or triggered ... better not watch this if you think you could be one of those people ...

In the '80s and '90s, the standard for crude, provocative and vulgar humor in The Netherlands was set by the films - and subsequent TV-series - of "Flodder". In the second half of the '00s, the "New Kids" took over. They're a bunch of utterly marginal and ill-mannered twenty-something hoodlums with mullets and porno-mustaches that spend their lives doing absolutely nothing except for showing off in their pimped car, take drugs, raise fights, talk foul language, and pee against public buildings. The format was incredibly popular for a short while, serving as a guilty pleasure for many Dutch/Belgian fans (myself included), but the success faded out just as quickly. In fact, by the time this second film got released, the buzz was already over.

"Nitro", the aptly titled follow-up to "Turbo", is somewhat interesting for one reason only, namely that it's one of the only zombie movies ever made in The Netherlands. For some reason, the country is gradually overrun by zombies that come from the remote far north - Friesland - and brain munch their way south. In terms of script and humor, there's something to offend literally everyone in "New Kids: Nitro". It's not funny at all but, it must be said, the special effects and gory make-up are more than decent. I reckon they spent all the profit of the previous film and series on gallons of fake blood, heads, and limbs. Money well spent!
