Onks' Viljoo näkyny? (English translated "Has anyone seen Viljo?") is a 1988 Finnish comedy film directed by Hannu Seikkula.[1] The film is based on Heikki Kinnunen's sketch from the ÄWPK – Älywapaa palokunta sketch show that was shown in 1984–1985. In addition to Kinnunen, the film stars Aake Kalliala and Pirkka-Pekka Petelius.

A total of 75,320 viewers watched the film in cinemas in 1988.[2]

Plot

The events begin with TV show presenter Uffa Hintman's (Heikki Kinnunen) announcement that he will pay ten million Finnish marks to whoever makes famous Taka-Surkee, the small village in the middle of nowhere. This information sets in motion Chamberlain Vähänen (Kinnunen), two Romani men Valtte (Aake Kalliala) and Arvid (Pirkka-Pekka Petelius), two Sámi men Naema-Aslak (Petelius) and Soikiapää (Kalliala), and, of course, several people from Taka-Surkee. Many also come up with the idea of robbing the prize money that Hintman keeps in his safe. The man with a cigarette and Koskenkorva bottle (Kinnunen), on the other hand, is content to just ask after Viljo from everyone who meets him.
