Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Frank is a drug pusher on the roll until he makes a huge deal with dope that he hasn't paid for and he gets busted by the police. He manages to dump the dope in a nearby lake but he owes his supplier a lot of money (not a nice guy to owe money to). Now we follow Frank in his quest to raise money in the underworld of Copenhagen.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | In a famous TV-interview with Nicolas Winding Refn and Kim Bodnia a reporter asked about research to make the film so realistic, the one thing the Winding Refn and Bodnia had asked them not to ask about. The interview thus became very awkward. The interview appears on some DVDs. See more » |
| Goofs | When Frank and Tony are in Frank's car, they pass a crossing just before Frank's phone rings. 20 seconds later, when Frank finishes his phone call, they turn right, at the same crossing they just passed. See more » |

| Quotes |
Tonny:
I once ejaculated a girl in the face, and she wanted me to piss it off. Frank: Wait a minute, wait a minute. You ejaculated a girl in the face, and she wanted you to piss it off? Tonny: Yeah. Frank: [laughing] Pervert! That's fucking sick! Tonny: It is not? Frank: It's fucking sick, man. Who was she? Tonny: Your mother. See more » |
