Hearing ABBA’s “Money, Money, Money” is always fun!
Notably, Svante Grundberg, portraying the mute canoeist, performs a genuinely perilous stunt when his canoe becomes trapped and crushed between two dam gates.

Göta Kanal eller vem drog ur proppen? (Göta Canal or Who Pulled the Plug?), initially met with critical disdain yet embraced by audiences, mirrors the reception of the recent cinematic success, Ett Sista Race (One Last Race).
Thats the reason why they made an even worse movie than this one. There's no funny situation comedy nor any good verbal jokes. Not me. The story is very thin and the jokes are used and predictable, the ones that ain't, is just plain boring. It's a shame that this one was a big success.

There are no rules in this game and the winner ... If you haven´t seen it, do that at once! The special effects are also good, thinking about it being an old Swedish 80's movie. But the jokes aren't funny. There's also some really long stretches in between those, and a refusal to even pretend the plot makes sense that's almost admirable in its nonchalance.
The actors delivers extremely well-timed lines and the witty script makes you crumble of laughter! It's certainly one of the best movies ever produced in this country.
