The Mounties

About This Movie

So, The Mounties, released in 2005, is a bit of a nostalgia trip for those familiar with Dutch television. It features the comedic duo Piet Bambergen and René van Vooren, who have this quirky charm that really shines through. The pacing leans towards playful and lighthearted, capturing that classic vibe of their earlier shows from the 60s to the 80s. The humor is often situational, mixed with a touch of absurdity that feels distinctly Dutch. It’s not just a comedy; it’s a celebration of their legacy, which makes it interesting for collectors who appreciate cultural references and the evolution of comedy on TV. This film doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel but rather embraces its roots.

The Mounties has a unique standing among collectors, often sought after for its link to the iconic duo's television roots. Initially released on DVD, it can be quite elusive, especially in good condition. While it may not have the mass appeal of contemporary titles, its cultural significance and the charm of Bambergen and Van Vooren keep it on the radar for dedicated collectors who appreciate the landscape of Dutch comedy.
