Who knew the Scandinavian Kingdom of fjords and pickled herring was also the land of insanely funny martial arts movies? Written and directed by Thomas Cappelen Malling, this side-splitting action moves follows he adventures of Commander Arne Treholt (Mads Ousdal) and his Ninja Force as they fight any and all threats to their Norwegian way of life. The film follows the classic ninja movie blue-print, following the good guys from training camp to the ultimate showdown with the evil geniuses trying to take over the world, but every scene is more surreal than the next. The training camp looks more like a spa retreat, the fight sequences are outrageously choreographed and the effects are anything but special — and that’s just what makes the movie work so well. Watch the ‘making of’ docs on the DVD extras and you will be amazed at just how hard Malling, his cast and crew worked to make the movie so unique
