| Star Wreck (Web Animation) | comment |
Once upon a time, there was a Finnish guy called Samuli Torssonen. He was a huge fan of Star Trek and a computer geek. One day in 1992 he decided to combine those two things and created a short CGI film called Star Wreck. Eventually he made more with the help of his friend Rudi Airisto, who in turn couldn't stand Star Trek and made sure to mock the hell out of it in the scripts. Star Wreck turned into a parody series of Star Trek featuring James B. Pirk, a gigantic douche in control of a spaceship called C.P.P. Kickstart, and his crew Mr. Spökö (Spook) and Mr. Fukov.Many years later, Torssonen and his friends upped the ante and started to make a feature length live action Star Wreck film. The project kept escalating until Star Wreck: In The Pirkinning was finally released over Internet after 7 years of production. Thanks to completely professional-looking graphics, fairly good performances from amateur actors and combining the universes of Star Trek and Babylon 5 in one big parody space brawl, the film became a huge phenomenon, eventually seeing a DVD release, a revised version called Imperial Edition, a Tabletop RPG and much more. And everybody involved in the filmmaking lived Happily Ever After. | |

The Cameo | |
| Star Wreck (Web Animation) / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: The film crew, composed entirely of young men and women, were worried about who to get to play the President of Russia. The problem was solved when Kari Väänänen, a veteran actor for whom the team had made a video CV, returned the favour by appearing in the film. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| Star Wreck (Web Animation) / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: A lot, usually understandable only to viewers fluent in Finnish. The Plingonian language heard in The Kilpailu is mostly nonsense, but it features the term jemmajyvä for "cloaking device"; this is derived from the Finnish word jyväjemmari ("grain-stasher"), which is a demeaning term for a farmer. The Ferrets (expies of the Ferengs) are known as Turengit in Finnish, which is a reference to the village of Turenki in Finland. | |

Woolseyism: Invoked: the writers planned for one of the jokes to work regardless of language. Fukov receives an order for light balls, but, due the terrible transmission quality, he mishears it an order for some drinks ("light beer" in the English version). All we hear is the bottles harmlessly shattering against the enemy ship's hull, allowing any translators to stick whichever form of alcohol they want in the subtitles. The official site used to have an annotated translation, to help any translators who don't speak Finnish themselves. | |

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Whenever the Kickstart got badly battered, the list of damaged property would always include the Coffee-o-matic. In Wrath of the Romuclans, they actually redirect all the power from the weapons to the Coffee-o-matic, which turns out to be a bad mistake. That this is no mere and jaywalking becomes clear when you keep in mind that Finland has the highest annual per capita consumption of coffee. And what good is a ship if it's whole crew drops asleep... | |

Soundtrack Dissonance | |
| Star Wreck (Web Animation) / int_abad35b4 | comment |
Soundtrack Dissonance: "Sanat", the song playing over the credits of In the Pirkinning, is oddly melancholic and lonely and very different from the mood of the film. The film ends on such a low note that it's not really a Mood Whiplash. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Star Wreck (Web Animation) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: Fukov. Definitely. Sometimes he's also too stupid for others to live: The other Fukov in In the Pirkinning on the other hand is dumb enough to survive for most of the movie - he manages to malfunction his ship badly enough to avoid partaking in the big battle, deciding to watch from the sidelines and not worry too much about getting the repairs done. On the other hand, he apparently caused the Chernobyl disaster because he was cold. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Star Wreck (Web Animation) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Andy Bones is one to Indiana Jones. A particularly obscure one to anyone who isn't Finnish: Garybrandy, the equivalent of Garibaldi from Babylon 5 is called Mihail Karigrandi in the original Finnish. His name refers to a character in TV advertisements for Grandi juice, Kari Grandi. Garybrandy paraphrases the character's Catchphrase in the end of the film when he gets drunk: The Kilpailu shouts out to even more sci-fi franchises: Star Wars (Hans Duo and Puke) and The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy (the Zarquons). Sergej Fukov has an X-Files mug. | |

Spin-Off | |
| Star Wreck (Web Animation) / int_d9ee7048 | comment |
Star Wreck 2π: Full Twist, now! (2012): A Spin-Off of In the Pirkinning, made by Swiss filmmakers Thierry and Fabienne Gschwind. It follows the exploits of Captain Stöcklin, who's given the mission to test a ship equiped with a prototype of a new kind of twist drive: naturally, everything goes wrong and they end up drawing the attention of a new race of hostile aliens who mistake the accidental damage done by the malfunctioning prototype twist drive as an unprovoked attack. It features a multinational team, with Torssonen and Vuorensola reprising their roles as Emperor Pirk and Commander Dwarf. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist | |
| Star Wreck (Web Animation) / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Despite all the evil actions of Pirk in In The Pirkinning, he does have genuinely noble goals going into it. The human race was supposed to unify by the time the film takes place, brought together by the Vulgars and their incredible technology. Instead, they have been corrupted by Cochbrane's music and have abandoned their plans to uplift humanity, to the point that on the day in the prime timeline that Antimateriel Reactors were supposed to have been perfected (allowing for the evolution of Twist Drive), the new timeline has the headline being the total abandonment of space exploration. He even directly references that without P-Fleet, Earth will have no defense against alien threats like the Korg (who are responsible for them being there in the first place). However, all of this immediately stops being well-intentioned the moment Pirk decides he should be the emperor to lead them... | |
