Pro-tip America: this is how you make fun of us Europeans.
You don’t just use a lazy stereotype of an entire continent.
You use a wide array of even more offensive stereotypes of specific individual countries.
Also: IRC Club Vandersexx is in Amsterdam but Lucy Lawless sounds more like she’s speaking German, meanwhile the road signs in Germany are in Dutch, and the truck driver who says he’ll never go to Berlin is a German actor who played a Berlin detective on tv for 30 years. I can’t help thinking some of that was deliberate.
Spot-on!
Fuck, it took me 20 years to realize the Mi Scusi guy is Fred Armisen.
Scotty doesn’t know
That Fiona and me do it my van every Sunday
She tells him she’s at church but she doesn’t go
Still she’s on her knees and…
Scotty doesn’t know
Oh, Scotty doesn’t know
That song was much more of a banger than it had any right to be. Bonus points for Matt Damon absolutely crushing the role as the singer.
Oh here’s a fun fact: You made out with your sister!
This is one the most quotable movies ever
SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP
I put “Miami Wice is number 1 new show!” into the Bing AI image generator the other day and got this masterpiece:
Jesus I don’t like complimenting AI but the title is genius for a sequel.
Separated at birth. Reunited by justice.
Wait are they both Don Johnson lol
Dos Johnson
I think it saw that you left a typo and instead of correcting it to Vice, it thought it was meant to be twice.
Kids who were born the year this came out are now old enough to experience this movie first hand.
Reminder that Michelle Trachtenberg is a total babeshow.
This isn’t where I parked my car. (I must have pause the DVD of that spot to see titties so much when I was a kid, we were rural and only had dial up)
“Never. To. Berlin.”
He’s going to Berlin!
Nowhere. Near. Berlin.
With the infamous “I open my own hotel” scene
Also Club Vandersexx with Lucy Lawless, Mi scusi and the German trucker.
Let us not forget one of the all time great Matt Damon cameos.
Is the “teen summer movie about getting laid” genre still a thing?
As long as there are summers and teenagers, I would think so
The advent of easy to access porn and OF has killed that genre, sadly.
Sadly?
I mean … that genre was single-handedly what taught generations of boys that getting girls drunk was how you got laid. Or at the very least it was socially acceptable.
They were problematic as hell and while funny they really sent some bad fucking messages.
That genre was popular in the late 90s/early 00s, wasn’t it? If we’re talking about the American Pie/Eurotrip/etc. era… There was plenty of easy to access porn back then. Much easier than today, in many ways. The web was the lawless Wild West. You didn’t have to dig very far to find pretty much anything, for better or for worse.
I think you’re giving that era of the internet too much credit. People still had dial up in the late 90s and early 00s and tube sites weren’t really a thing yet. Clip indices were just taking off but it was like 30 second long videos.
We had hardcore jpeg compression for pics, download software with an antivirus, and a lot of imagination to go along with those 30s clips
Looking up porn then was a mixed bag. Most the time it was a virus and when it wasn’t the image would load halfway and quit. When you finally got something real to load you printed that shit as fast as you could.
Dunno, Google was a thing by then, you could jerk off to nudes pretty easy. Video was more difficult, maybe, yeah.

Great example of a movie that fit its time and wouldn’t land today.
I think I’ll watch it for the first time in more than a decade.
Just watched this before going to Europe for the first time, couldn’t help but “mi scuzi” on Eurostar lol
God damn it, Humphreys
