• Arne Treholt was an up and coming politician in one of norways largest political parties, the labour party. He was convicted of espionage and leaking classified information to the russians during the cold war, but still maintains his innocence. More info can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arne_Treholt The old guy with the shorts and peaked hat is our former king, Olav V. He was known as the "peoples king", who loved sailing and spent much time rubbing shoulders with us normal people. The look of the film is similar to televised dramas created by NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting) in the late seventies/early eighties. It is based on a book that takes old self defense photographs and presents them as Arne Treholts Ninja Techniques To sum up, it looks right, the parodies are stellar and even though Dead Snow had some issues I'm confident that I'll enjoy this movie very much.

• I dunno, stealthy assassin versus brutal berserker, I would think they would occupy different shares of the market.

• Probably funnier if you're aware of the real Arne Treholt, or know who the old dude in the peaked cap is.

• Norway rocks!

• DEAD SNOW was way more fun that it had a right to be. I'll be first in line for this one.

• So these are Ninja's with Jedi skills? Awesome!

• "Stop messing around, or we'll beat the shit out of you." Norwegian ninjas are obviously very direct, and realistic with their threats.

• ...thats not a pretty image

• That raises the interesting question of which would be cooler: Viking Ninjas or Ninja Vikings?

• I'd rather watch a full-length film based on this ninja (or ninjas, I guess.) http://vimeo.com/8706167?hd=1

• maybe Vikings that moonlight as Ninjas?

• Fucking SOLD.

• Who needs Norwegian Ninjas when you have GODDAMN VIKINGS as part of your history? My inner berserker has got his undies in a twist over this, I can tell you! Ah, who am I kidding? This looks cool.

• er, I think these people have been sniffing the bbq!

• Good call man.

• Garth Marenghi Norwegian Ninja?

• Looks super epically craptastic. I wish the cruise company I worked in named one of their ships after the film...that would be awesome.
