Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAbout 9½ minutes into the film, there is a video short called 'Nutrition and Patriotism'. Several characters in this short say, "I'm doing my part." This is an homage to Starship Troopers' which also starred Casper Van Dien.
- GoofsThe Matterhorn is said to be located near Davos, in Southeastern Switzerland, in fact it is located just above Zermatt, in Southwestern Switzerland. LIkewise, in other shots the Matterhorn appears near a large town. This is a deliberate geographical error to underline the character of the film.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: The Swissploitation Films logo is a parody of the Paramount Pictures logo, using the Matterhorn mountain and Swiss cheese wheels for the stars.
Featured review
Starting with that first yodel, Mad Heidi is as crazy as it is, well, cheesy. The self-proclaimed Swissploitation action-splatterfest is all about illegal cheese, fascist rule, warrior nuns, and a madcap Casper Van Dien whose mustache-twirling villainy is as high as the Alps. Yet for all its silliness and over-the-top parodying, Mad Heidi should have been a lot crazier.
Mad Heidi is a crowdfunded project helmed by Johannes Hartmann and Sandro Klopfstein. The indie movie parodies not only general exploitation films but specifically the good-natured Heidi stories of old (such as the sappy Shirley Temple classic). Here, Switzerland is under the fascist control of cheese-loving President Meili (Van Dien). When both Heidi's (Alice Lucy) freedom-loving grandfather and goat cheese-smuggling boyfriend are killed, Heidi transforms herself into a kick-ass fighter and goes after fierce retribution against Meili and his brutal regime. In short, cheese happens.
Mad Heidi is fun and silly. Mad Heidi was not made to promote the artform of cinematic splendor. This is a riotous goof that caters to a specific audience, a level on which Mad Heidi completely succeeds.
