But this game turns out to be risky and in the end, both gangs don't hesitate to seize the check at all costs, including an improvised operation

An Exercise In Nonsense
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
A very, very, very funny comedy. Some gags can be understood only by people knowing Czech language (like speeches of the toothless gang boss). One of my favorite comedies. Some actors played very good parts in the "Adventures of brave soldier Svejk": Police commander - policeman Brettschneider, lieutenant Dub Mr. Gogo - Palivec, sergeant Vanek etc. The final combat zone in the garage is also very fine. In that movie there are many shoots and murders but even the youngest children liked it. The main plot is the fight of two rival gangs (one from "Michigo", another from "San Bonigo") for a check and a quiet school teacher is found to be a pervert serial murder.
I personally think that along with "Limonadovy Joe" and "Dedictvi" this movie is on the top of all Czech comedies. It's one of the rare movies where excellent director collaborated with excellent crew and they all worked with ingenious script. Also all the "comix drawings" by Kaja Saudek are nothing but astonishing. The idea of "advertisement cuts" is very bright and on every place very smart. Every word, every line and every gesture in this movie is simply perfectly on time, and I personally find almost every line very funny.If there was one scene I would cut out, that would be the one where Sabrina is fighting Kathy in the shower.I can not but highly recommend this movie to everyone. It's smart, funny and above all it's genuine and perfect work of art !
