This looks to be even more amazing than the title promises.

Looks super crazy and fun. Pretty cool to see Rutger Hauer as the hobo.

Porky's may have some competition for the highest grossing Canadian film.

This looks way, WAY better than I thought it would. Dartmouth International Films FTW.

Does Porky's still have that title? Also I guess this solidifies that we're moving away from the '80s back to the '70s. Though this looks gloriously stupid and fun which is usually a good thing. Have to love the bluntness of the title.

I remember when the viral was making the rounds, can't believe they made a feature. Some things are best left alone (unless this was the plan all along).

It looks better than at least 75% of the movies that get a thread in the New Films subforum

Thread worthy?

Looks like a hell of a lot of fun, but what's with the Batman and Robin color scheme?

It does. At least if you take inflation into account.

I think Bon Cop Bad Cop managed to overtake Porkys as Canada's "Avatar". At least I read that somewhere.

Some extras are fellow members from the same Film Co-op I am part of so it should be interesting to see if they survived the final cut.

It did overtake it, but with inflation, it didn't come close to Porky's.

The sad thing is, Bon Cop barely made anything outside Quebec. Canadian films really do that bad.

This was the plan all along, although probably became more of a "plan"
plan once established producers and then Rutger Hauer got involved.

Unless you're this and rack up $11 million in one province in one summer. English-Canadian films generally do wretched business while big French-Canadian films generally become zeitgeist-y smashes in Québec, and the rest of the country never hears of them. For purposes of comparison, "Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day," the highest-grossing English-language Canadian film of 2009, pulled in just north of CDN$2.8 million nation-wide.

You also have to realize that, for its size, Canada does not have a huge population. As of 2010 there are 34,160,000 people living in Canada. Compare that to the 309,162,581 living this year in the United States. Add to that the somewhat diffuse nature of the population spread and the fact that the large population of Quebec probably isn't much concerned with English language Canadian films, and there just isn't that much money being spent.
