Five lucky Twitch readers will be taking home free copies of the US DVD of the film along with a little something special. Real men, you see, watch their movies on tape. So the producers of Norwegian Ninja prepared a limited run of VHS copies - packaged in big ass clamshell cases, no less - for some of their most special friends. They're in PAL, so you can't watch 'em, but they will be yours to cuddle, hold and stroke whenever the mood takes you.In 1984, high-ranking Norwegian diplomat Arne Treholt was tried and convicted of acting as a spy on behalf of the Soviet Union. But what if the courts got it wrong? What if the case against him was a sham? What if - dare we consider - Treholt was not a spy at all but a patriot of the highest order and the leader of a secret ninja force created by King Olav? A ninja force locked in a secret battle against all who would challenge Norwegian sovereignty?A fictionalized account of the most notorious political scandal in Norwegian history, NORWEGIAN NINJA is a deliciously tongue-in-cheek spoof of the Cold War spy movie, with added ninja action. Blending historical events and actual newsreel footage of the Treholt affair with his own less-than-historical elements, debuting writer-director Thomas Cappelen Malling (a contributor to the upcoming horror anthology The ABCs of Death) creates a film that wryly questions just how truthful the truth really is. And then sends a ninja to punch the truth in the face.
[UPDATE: We've drawn our winners and they are Jesse Kale, Jonathan Galimore, Robert Reilly, Aaron Rainbolt and Ron Bauerle.]
