    Staple schlock from the Eastern block

    Pure steam-punk - way before it became mainstream. As it was made by Habsburgs themselves. A perfect party movie. Pairs well with Dobrý voják Svejk, The Phantom of Morrisville, Pilsner, and Czech sausages. Chase with Becherovka. A great introduction to the peculiar art of Czech humour. Try to search for Jožin z bažin on youtube.
