Comedy Central in association with DStv presents Blitz Patrollie!
From
the team that brought you the hugely popular and iconic comedy sketch
series “ The Pure Monate Show” comes a hilarious new police action film.
Paying homage to movies such as Bad Boys, Rush Hour, Starsky & Hutch, 48 Hours and other iconic buddy cop movies, “Blitz Patrollie” promises to bring a fresh local twist to this popular genre.
The film stars comedy greats David Kau, in his first foray on the big screen, and Joey Rasdien
(“Material”) , as humbling partners fighting crime in this action
packed adventure complete with shoot outs, car chases, hair raising
stunts and a ton of gags ! Blitz Patrollie blasts into theatres nationwide on Friday the 10th May 2013.
The cast, which reads like the line-up of a mega stand-up comedy show, also includes Kagiso Lediga, Chris Forrest, David Kibuuka, Tol A$$ Mo, Sans Moonsamy, Kaseran Pillay and the legendary Mel Miller with some accomplished thespians, Kid Sithole, June Van Merch and Craig Urbani also on the bill.
The
film chronicles the adventures of Rummy Augustine (Rasdien) and his
partner Ace Dikolobe (Kau), two police officers who have had the
misfortune of being stationed at the “Central” Police Station, the most
chaotic police precinct in Johannesburg. Rummy is bogged down with
trying to start a family while his violent and abusive mother-in-law
just won't move out. Meanwhile, the overzealous Ace can think of nothing
better to do than to put on his "lucky" bulletproof vest and head out
to do battle with criminals. The two accidentally stumble upon a massive
drug haul and what ensues is a madcap escapade as the duo encounter
some of the city's craftiest crooks in a race against time to catch the
bad guys and claim their place in crime fighting history.
Slickly directed by Andrew Wessels, and written by Kagiso Lediga,
this movie breaks new ground for local comedies. Lediga says the
script was borne out of a need for edgy comedies that resonate with
South Africans. It is the first feature film to come out of Diprente
Films, producers of the popular satirical news show “Late Nite News with
Loyiso Gola” .
Blitz Patrollie is proudly presented by Comedy Central (DStv Channel 122), DStv and the Mail & Guardian
as the media partners supported by Podium…The Comedy Merchants while
the movie’s production was made possible by partners; Industrial
Development Corporation, National Film & Video Foundation, Gauteng
Film Commission and the Department of Trade & Industry.
