People from northern Norway, laugh your ass off
jofredbekk15 October 2010
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 :)

Refreshingly Funny

The Plot.

Jompa Tormann and his guests and family are brutally gunned down during an engagement party.

Sami- and women-hating police officer Sid Wisløff is put on the case.

Together with his colleague Unni Formen and Sami guide Peggy Mathilassi, Wisløff tries to find the guilty party, but Jompa Tormann survived and he wants revenge!

Satire on Kill Bill made for no money in Norway.

It works!

It's sort of like those wacky Airplane movies, or more recently, Scary Movie, but a different genre.

At times it hearkens back to very early Woody Allen (Take the Money and Run, Bananas) with surreal kooky set ups and deliveries.

At first I thought the good reviews were set up by people who worked on the film, but I have to say, it's funny. I liked it.

This movie is a true masterpiece!
askeland891 June 2018
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.

Funny, but also horrendously bad
patrick-green17 June 2009
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.

Extremely Funny!!!
Pumpkin_Man4 July 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Why am I the only person that loves movies that other people hate? I watched this in the back seat of the family van, while going to a 4th of July party, and I thought it was incredibly hilarious! I should have watched Norwegian comedy a long time ago. The film spoofs Kill Bill. A man named Jompa Torman is reluctantly about to be married until Tampa Buljo, Crazy Beibifeit, Dr. Kjell Driver, and Bud Light kill all of his family and try to kill him. After he wakes up from his coma, he is a man with nothing to lose and takes the law into his own hands. Hot on his trail is a dumb and mean-spirited cop named Sid Wisløff and his partner, Unni Formen. Sid wants Jompa behind bars, but Unni begins to realize that he is innocent. I literally laughed until I cried! I highly recommend KILL BULJO!!! p.s. HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Where can I submit a damage claim?
luvmycat3 March 2011
Oh my.

Well I did read the reviews so I was warned. I thought let's go and challenge good taste, and I wasn't "disappointed". Rolling my eyes so many times they almost fell out of their sockets, I still didn't find the sense to stop the film. I made it to the end, but I don't know if that's an achievement one should be proud of.

The low budget look is okay and the bad acting is just... bad acting, but this can be part of the "charm" in these type of films. Sometimes bad acting replaces or enhances humor because of the goofy look.

My conclusion is - what comes up when a group of people get seriously drunk and then one says let's make a film and all go haywire with ideas. The outcome is hilarious while you're boozed, but next morning you just moan and wince at the thought of it. Here, no one had the guts next morning to be the one pointing out that they'll better leave it.

Some "jokes" seem to be taken straight from the walls of a lavatory in the wrong part of town, just thrown in for the sake of it and where they couldn't think up something witty.

Mostly I winced. I laughed loud once (!) but sadly I can't remember where it was... the shock of this sudden spark in my numb brain blocked my memory completely. And I won't go boldly again to where no man has gone before to find it out.

Some reviews say you have to be Norwegian to "get it". Sorry but I can't accept this lame excuse for this humorous landslide of a film.

If you want to laugh about dialects and the prejudices people to their e.g. Northern or Southern landsmen, watch the french comedy "Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis" (Welcome to the Sticks). The humor was even able to be comprehended and found funny in Germany, in German dubbing (I haven't seen it in English, though).

2 stars for the "good" intentions. By the way, the road to hell is paved with these...

This one goes to 11
oahoen15 May 2007
This is a must see! A group of friends from a small town i northern Norway has made a low budget spoof movie loosely based on Tarantino's Kill Bill - and it's funny as heck! For movie aficionados it contains references to a fjord-load of classics, from Star Wars to Deliverance, in addition to the obvious likeness to the two Kill Bills. Splatter, cheesy one-liners and arctic ass-kicking all rolled into one big snowball of lowbrow laughs. Oh, and plenty of ham acting intermixed with some quite talented amateurs. The snowmobile chase scene alone is worth the price of admission! It is quite interesting that this movie has been made with almost no support from the Norwegian film establishment, and yet it's a bigger hit with young audiences than most productions that costs ten or twenty times more to make. Just goes to show that an original idea and a love of movie-making wins over money and prestige every time.

Really average
abrondz29 August 2009
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.

The only good thing in this movie is the opening credits!
hampe-123 December 2007
This movie sucks big time! I thought I was going to see a movie that was at least funny, but there's nothing funny in this movie. The acting is awful, the jokes are not the least bit funny and that's too bad because it's supposed to be a comedy/parody. Instead I found myself being irritated because it could have been a good movie.

The only things I enjoyed was the opening credits and the beautiful women. I can't see anyone enjoy this except if you're fiends of the cast or if you have so bad humour that it's out of this world.

Even if it's made with low budget and with amateurs it is still a very bad movie, it's no excuse for bad jokes and bad acting.

If you are thinking about watching this: DON'T!

Awful
beatrix_kiddo_kills14 April 2009
I think this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. And Kill Bill is one of my favorites.

There was nothing good in this movie, everything was bad.

I wanted to see this movie because I am a fan of Kill Bill, but this wasn't even funny. I have seen low budget movies that are masterpieces, but this is just crap.

I hope and think they have better movies in Norway, it must be better than this.

When you make a parody of one of the greatest movies ever, it has to be at least as good than the original. Tarantino is one of the greatest directors ever and this movie just spit in his face.

Just don't watch it!!!!!!!

If you consider the budget, it's a comedic masterpiece
anzer-2108121 March 2016
A Norwegian parody of Kill Bill that is hilarious and has just the right mix of originality and parody. It has constant jokes and very fun characters. The characters (Mainly the protagonist and antagonist) are well developed and pretty much every scene they're in is guaranteed to be funny. With a budget of about 900€ this is quite a well made movie, considering that the acting is good, the effects in fights are either good or the cheap ones are played of quite funny, the only indicator of this being a low-budget production is the lack of good customs and sets, however as I said before, it's played of quite funny. I also strongly recommend watching the subbed version, in the English Dubbed one many of the jokes are changed.

The only problem I have with this movie is that they could have ended it better, but considering the amount of laughter I had before it's a minor mistake.

P.s.: In the subbed version the subtitles said corn dog, while you can clearly hear the character say kebab, anyone has an idea why?

Three simple words: "This film sucks!"
killerost10 April 2010
I was very reluctant seeing this film cause I expected it to be a piece of s**t film. I was aware that this was a low-budget, comedy/parody movie and that's really not my genera so I was not very eager to see this movie. My friend persuaded me to see it, telling me it was kinda funny. So my expectations were really, really low. But even with my very low expectations I was let down. Releasing this film internationally is just an insult to all intelligent Norwegians, and I would like to apologize to all non-Norwegians seeing this crap, on behalf of Norway. This film does really not represent us. Thank good. Oh and by the way, the only reason this film got one star is because there 0 stars isn't an alternative.

Do yourself a favor, don't waste one minute watching this movie. Unless, maybe if you're from the north of Norway AND drunk.

a must
noviking3 September 2007
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

Genius!!!!
leifgunnar6 February 2008
This film is great! Some people took the crappy film Kill Bill, and made a genius parody. Don't get me wrong now. Tarantino is an excellent director, but Kill Bill was a flop. But Kill Buljo is funny from the first second, till the last second. With a budget of only a million NOK (about $200.000) they managed to make a brilliant movie. Yes, it's an amateur movie, but I'm glad it made the movie theaters, and DVD. Had to buy it when it got out.

Sorry my English. I'm not very good at it :P

If you want to see a real comedy, how it should be, watch Kill Buljo! It's the BOMB!!!!
