Real Ninjas Watch VHS! Win NORWEGIAN NINJA On Tape And DVD!

Thomas Cappelen Malling's Norwegian Ninja - winner of best director and best actor awards at Fantastic Fest 2010 - hits US DVD tomorrow and five lucky ScreenAnarchy readers are going to take home a little something special courtesy of Commander Arne Treholt.

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.

Five lucky ScreenAnarchy 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.

[UPDATE: We've drawn our winners and they are Jesse Kale, Jonathan Galimore, Robert Reilly, Aaron Rainbolt and Ron Bauerle.]
