 Klaus has just graduated from Forklift Driver school and it's time to 
start working for real... It's Klaus first day at work and he's being a 
little sloppy with the rules which ends in catastrophe!

 This German 8 minute gore comedy is a parody of instruction tapes, and
it's hilarious! We get to follow Klaus on his first day at work and
everything that can go wrong happens, it starts out very easy, with
Klaus almost running over a guy, then a guy gets a knife in the head,
and then it's a forklift massacre!

I didn't understand much of the dialogue even though I'm taking German
lessons at the moment since it wasn't subtitled, but still, I REALLY
REALLY enjoyed it. I don't think the dialogue is too important in this
movie, you understand quite well what's going on anyways. This movie,
originally titled 'Staplerfahrer Klaus - Der Erste Arbeitstag', is
amazingly enough released on DVD, still without subtitles though, but
I'm giving it serious consideration buying the DVD as it has a bunch
full of extras (well an 8 minute movie on a DVD isn't that much otherwise
now is it?).

This is absolutely a must for any gore fan, the effects are great and
even though it has no real plot, it's just an amazing short film.
It isn't to be taken seriously as you will laugh many times, I guess
it fits into the same category as Braindead aka Dead Alive, as it is
gory and gross but still you laugh your ass off! All I can say is that
I enjoyed it and I think you will to...


 Wow, where to start? A guy gets a knife in the head, not gory though,
then a guy gets his hands chopped off, very gory and graphic, then a
man gets cut in half and he's still alive, with the legs and half of
his stomach lying next to him. A guy gets his head cut off while driving
the forklift, two guys get the forklift through the stomach, then a
guy gets his arm cut off and finally a guy gets split in half.


 Ooooh, great soundtrack here, calypso like music, whistling tunes and
some cheesy synth sounds, yay, this is what I call a soundtrack!


 See this for the gore and the laughs, nothing you should spend hours to
track down, but if you come across it, you just have to watch it, it's
hilarious while it lasts...
