Alternate Versions

In the German dubbed version, various dialogues were removed or changed:

• When the New Kids meet the old man he says "This place was packed with Jews in 1942. You would hand them over to the Nazis and they would give you anything. That was a good deal.". This became "In 1942 I got everything I wanted from the Germans. That was a good deal."
• The scene where the old man presents a Nazi uniform and says "Goebbels gave me this jacket. Personally! He was a nice guy." was deleted.
• In the end credit scene the one of garbageman tells a sex story to his colleague. The dialogue of that scene was deleted, you only hear the music.

User Reviews

Fantastic Movie, even better than the Sketches.

I've just seen New Kids Turbo in the cinema, and I'm not disappointed. The same humor is used as in the Sketches, and the storyline is worked out great. If you're a fan of New Kids you're also gonna like it. Everything is played very well, and you really get sucked into the movie, and I guess the whole cinema thought the same. Everyone was laughing all the time, and the humor in the movie isn't made for 'stupid' people. There are a lot of smart jokes, and great plot twists that make everything more enjoyable. (btw, sorry for my bad English, but come on.. It's a Dutch movie, nobody from other countries is gonna watch this)
