I never knew this movie made an impact internationally. Thought it was strictly a Norwegian thing. It actually broke the record in terms of ticket sales in cinemas, selling more tickets in Norway than the entire population of our country. It was made in 1975 and it still looks good 49 years later. Certainly a timeless classic by our standards!

This brought back fond memories from my childhood, loved it! :) Fun fact: Of the dubs created of Flåklypa, only Emanuel the Gorilla kept its norwegian voice actor(even in places like Germany and Saudi Arabia where everything is dubbed). This was due to the fact that he mostly talks by making noises that no-one understands. Also, Gurin and the foxtail was released in 98 not 91

I saw the premiere screening in 1975. The same year I bought the vinyl LP from the movie and a model of Il Tempo Gigante. I knew every single line in the movie and knew every scene. At the end of each lap in the car race there is a downhill. We could feel it in the stomach every time they drove down the hill. The audience loved it. It is a movie with great atmosphere and soul. A touching story.

This is a national treasure in Norway. So I first of all want to add that - A HUGE LEGEND in Norway. They event built a Flåklypa museum in he's home village of Alvdal which fitting translates to 'Elf or elven valley'. A lot of these characters are based on people of this valley he grew up, and also characters that many Norwegians at least could really relate to. Not gonna go through the whole story of him, but I think it's important to give him the credit he deserves. Just to show you how big this film was - internationally - I add some trivia : ''Since its premiere on 28 August 1975, the movie was shown at a cinema somewhere in the world every day of the week, for 28 years. Mainly in theaters in Norway, Moscow or Tokyo, the non-stop run ended in 2003.''

Every year at the local cinema there's an event called The Children's Film Festival, where the cinema plays many new movies for children and teens for a cheaper price, some even free. This year they decided to let the people vote for one movie to be shown at the main screen, and (of course) the people chose Flåklypa. I was there and when I tell you there was not one empty seat -- both young and old, though mostly adults, were there to watch it. I enjoyed every moment of it, and I could tell everyone around me did aswell.

I saw this film no later than TODAY at a small pop-up drive in cinema hosted by some local groups for funding. It was great to see it again, the music alone makes me feel so at peace, and I really don't see a problem with the presentation of the Middle Eastern character, since he's not a villain by any means, in fact he ends up being a vital component to the success of our protagonists.

The Pinchcliffe game being a re-master done right? Eh, I don't know. About 45% of the original content has been removed, and although it makes the game more streamlined, it feels a bit bare-boned. The only good part was the new racing mode, which granted, was very satisfying and well executed

Fun fact, Christian Von Koenigsegg saw this movie as a child and decided that he wanted to build the fastest car in the world. So without this movie We wouldn't have the iconic Koenigsegg cars today. The sound of the Koenigsegg cars was inspired by the "Il Tempo Gigante" from the movie and i think you really can hear it when you listen to the movies almost primal and raw engine sound and then compare them to the screaming Italian v12's and the rumbling American v8''s. They truly have their own unique sound. Every time I see or hear a Koenigsegg on the street, I get a feeling of proudness to be Swedish, thank you Norway!

There was also a game based on the movie that released in the early 2000s. There is also a more recent remake of the game, but it is far from as good as the original game. It's far from being a remaster done right. It's missing a lot of mini games that were in the original game, along with various other issues.

Omg! This and dunderklumpen is my childhood! Both take place in the Swedish and Norwegian mountainchain called "fjällen" in Swedish. You should really look at dunderklumpen becuse its very similair to this movie in so many cases. Specielly the feeling. Dunderklumpen is a cult movie in Sweden and is the only thing my family home of Strömsund in north Jämtland, in north Sweden. I think you would love to se dunderklumpen. The music is very similair. Very fun that you review movies like this.

I am certain George Lucas did not copy scenes from Pinchcliffe. What is very likely is that both George and Ivo Caprino borrowed scenes from the same movie. The 1966 movie Grand Prix by John Frankenheimer is the true source of "inspiration". All the similarities between Pinchcliffe and Phantom Menace are there (and a few others). Pinchcliffe actually contains at least two sound snippets from Grand Prix. It is a very distinct break sound and a malfunctioning clutch sound.

Given George Lucas's interest in what most movie goers would consider unknown or lesser known films, I think it's entirely plausible George may have seen Flåklypa Grand Prix. I mean, he started out making rather experimental films (THX for example), and was always drawn to experimental and cutting edge techniques in filmmaking.
