In China They Eat Dogs (Danish: I Kina Spiser de Hunde) is an excellent and very dark action comedy from writer Anders Thomas Jensen and director (and former stuntman) Lasse Spang Olsen, released in September 1999.It follows two brothers — the mild-mannered bank clerk, Arvid, and a ruthless restaurant owner, Harald. After being dumped by his girlfriend for being too boring of a person, Arvid decides to lead a more exciting life. A chance presents itself when he suddenly when robbery happens at the bank and he helps stopping it. The wife of the would-be bank robber tracks Arvid down and tells him her husband was robbing the bank only so he could pay for medical treatments so they could have a child. Because of his revelation, he comes to sympathize with the bank robber and imagining he can help the couple and prove himself to be a dangerous outlaw all at once, Arvid plots a robbery of his own bank with the help of Harald and some fellow wannabe criminals.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Had a prequel in 2002, called Old Men In New Cars, mostly about said restaurant owner and his crew. | |

Caustic Critic: At the end, as God takes Arvid to Heaven, Arvid asks why he is allowed to enter Paradise, seeing how he murdered an entire rock band. God answers that He really doesn't mind as the band "weren't any good." | |
