Flodder's absurd humour and politically incorrect satire ridiculing the Dutch welfare state resulted in mixed reviews, but was the most popular Dutch film of the year and one of the top 10 of all time with 2.3 million admissions.[1] It still attracts a cult following, and in 2007 it was admitted to the Canon van de Nederlandse Film. Flodder is also a Dutch word meaning blank cartridge, a referral to the Flodders looking dangerous and being noisy, despite being rather harmless.
