Kill Buljo: Ze Film

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

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 :)

Kill Buljo is the story of a sami whose friends and family is killed during an engagement party. The storyline follows the Kill Bill films more or less, with the only the location and people being different.

The parody is good at times and it definitely includes some funny elements, but the film in general is poorly made and the acting is terrible at times. It got so bad at times, I started wondering whether this actually was a film production or just something for a film project at school. Kill Buljo also left me wondering whether it's actually necessary to add extra nastiness to make a "good" film.. I guess so.

I didn't really have big expectations, so I wasn't disappointed. Watch it only if you have nothing else to do.

I remember seeing this at my video rental shop and feeling a small spark of joy in my heart. A parody of Kill Bill? Brilliant! I love parodies!

And so I rented it, expecting a lot...maybe too much.

The beginning of the film made me laugh. The parody of the wedding massacre with all the body outlines on the floor, including a reindeer was very good, but when the actors came in everything went to hell.

The acting is bad, terminally bad. The main actors expression does not change once throughout the whole bloody film!! In fact the whole acting part reminded me of some cheap, unenthusiastic college joke film. The film has funny jokes in it, but it has a nice truckload of poor and frankly disgusting ones to shove the good ones out of the audience's mind. Most of those bad jokes involve coprophilia, bestiality (oh yes there is some in there), scatological humour and tired and overused jokes (the "I am your father" one is spectacularly painful to watch). The dubbing was horrendous and clashed with the poor acting. The Englisg voice acting was very over-dramatic compared to the wooden, never- changing expressions of the actors...if zombies were picked to play human characters this film would be the result.

There is also a long running obsession with homosexual rape, bestiality and coprophilia in this movie, why? I don't know, I suppose they just thought that a fat cross-dressing Madame Irma type character crapping in a bowl was hilarious so they included it. Also, racist attitudes towards Laps apparently stem from homosexual rape by burly Scandinavian lumberjacks...what were they thinking?

The final scenes of the film really show that the people making it just gave up. The sword fight with Buljo is ridiculous, with the two fighters randomly and softly clashing their katanas together...and then there's the "I am your father joke". WHY?!

When the reason why the evil gang of cattle rustlers (?) or whatever they are reveal why they tried to kill the main character you will have a good laugh as it is pretty funny...but then your mirth will be snatched away by the clumsy and painfully unfunny fighting scenes...oh, and the Star Wars joke too, did I mention that?

And finally, the evil Buljo is killed and you are treated to some premium quality arse-groping...so funny.

All in all this film has funny aspects to it, but the sheer randomness and disgusting humour just spoils it completely and seems to show a lack of effort from the creators. If you like watching films with insanely stupid and disgusting random humour or just like low budget films, go ahead and rent it, there is worse stuff out there...but I recommend you get yourself some beer to go with it.

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.
