Misinterpretation of the Albanians


The first thing. Albanias as i know are very white but like all the albanians characters in the film ( not played by albanian actors) are very dark and have black hair wich is almost impossible in Albania is like casting turkish actors to play Swedes.

And the most important misinterpretation is the real life characters.In real life the Albanian dealers were actually extremely intelligent and skilled bussnismems but in film they are portrayed as idiots i guess the filmmakers did it so the movie can be more comedic but it betrays the real life events.

If you look at the actual trivia in IMDb, it goes on to mention that this movie screwed up in a lot of ways. I actually met a guy, from Albania, who was working at my nearby Wendy's. He was a really friendly guy. He spoke broken English, but I could still understand him.
