Flodder in Amerika! (1992) is the first sequel to Flodder.
After the destruction of their new home in Sonnedael at the end of the first film, the city council volunteers the Flodder Family for an exchange program with the United States just to get rid of them. When they get to New York City, the Flodders lose their guide Sjakie at the airport and proceed to wreak havoc in the city.
This film provides examples of:
- The Big Rotten Apple: The movie is set in New York City in the early 90s, before Rudy Guliani cleaned up a lot of the city. The streets are littered with gangbangers and homeless people. Sjakie gets his hand stuck in a stormdrain (after a rude pedestrian knocks him over to steal his cab seat), but nobody lifts a finger to help him.
- Cosmic Plaything: The second movie in particular makes it seem like the universe just has it out for Sjakie. He loses the Flodder family at the airport, then a traffic jam in New York City makes it take him the rest of the day to reach his local contact's downtown office. He arrives past closing time, forcing him to sleep in a brothel. After he's discussed the Flodders' disappearance with them the next day, he loses his glasses and gets his hands stuck in a storm drain before he's mugged. Every passerby ignores him until a homeless person helps him get out after about a day, but Sjakie is subsequently imprisoned after a riot breaks out in a food court. Finally, he's hit by a car and then mistaken for a gender reassigment patient at the hospital.
- Didn't Think This Through: Son Kees notices the cheaper gas prices in the United States vs. Europe and figures a scheme to siphon gasoline from the parked cars at Mr. Rosenbaum's club and collects it in a water tank on the roof of the club. However, Johnnie points out that Kees cannot ship the water tank back to the Netherlands so there is no profit in it. Kees becomes sad, but Johnnie assures him that there are plenty more Get-Rich-Quick Schemes in the US.
- Every Man Has His Price: By the end of the movie, the US government is practically begging the Dutch ambassador to ship the Flodder Family back to Holland. However, Johnnie realizes they have some leverage because the family can implicate the President of the United States in the destruction of the Statue of Liberty. The US government bribes the Flodders to shut up about it.
- Fanservice Pack: Female Kees is significantly curvier in this film than the first, especially around the hips.
- Fan Disservice: Daughter Kees' striptease at Mr. Rosenbaum's night club is intercut with Sjakie receiving an unwanted gender reassignment operation.
- Global Ignorance: First, a group of street muggers that try to rob the Flodder Family think "Holland" is one of the little towns named Holland somewhere in the US. Second, the president himself thinks Copenhagen is a Dutch city.
- Hobos: Sjakie ends up befriending a homeless person out of necessity. Fortunately, said hobo turns out to be one of the nicest people in the city (his hatred for social workers notwithstanding), helping Sjakie get his hand loose after he's been stuck in a stormdrain for a day and a night, taking him to a food court after Sjakie says he's really hungry, and making sure he gets to the hospital after it appeared that Sjakie tried to take his own life (Sjakie accidentally walked into traffic because he saw the Flodders on the other side of the road).
- Metal Detector Checkpoint: At Schiphol Airport, the Flodders have to walk through a metal detector. Every family member is stopped and searched for carrying weapons, including knives, brass knuckles, and nun-chucks. The only exception is Daughter Kees, who tells the customs officer that he's free to pat her down anyway.
- Missed Him by That Much: The Flodders and Sjakie immediately lose each other at JFK airport and have no idea where the other is for several days. At one point, they almost run into each other next to a supermarket, but Sjakie is hit by a car before they can be reunited.
- Monumental Damage: At the end, Mother Flodder accidentally ignites a water tank that Son Kees had been filling with stolen gasoline, causing it to fly into the Statue of Liberty and destroy the head.
- Mugging the Monster: A trio of gangbangers in Central Park try to rob the Flodders after the family interrupts them mugging Mr. Rosenbaum. They get the shit kicked out of them. When they run into them again later, they try to get payback but end up going to jail.
- Mistaken for Special Guest: Upon arriving in America, the Flodders are mistaken for a group of Russian doctors at the airport. They spend a day in the New York Plaza before the mix-up is revealed at a dinner party held in their name and they're unceremoniously thrown out.
- Reassigned to Antarctica: The Flodder Family is sent to live in the United States for a year as part of an exchange program between the two countries. The city bureaucrats who have had to deal with the headache volunteer the Flodders as a "model family" just to get rid of them. Of course, they are anything but. The Flodders themselves don't mind, since their house in Zonnedael needs to be renovated anyway after its destruction by the colonel's tank in the first film.
- Sequel Goes Foreign: The first movie was set in the Netherlands, this movie takes the Flodder Family to the United States.
- Sleeping with the Boss's Wife: The Flodder family become employees at Mr. Rosenbaum's strip club. His wife, who performs there, immediately takes a shine to Johnnie. Of course, they end up having an affair, which Mr. Rosenbaum accidentally walks in on. He runs off and returns with a shotgun to chase down Johnnie.
- Vomit Indiscretion Shot: In the second movie, a patron at the strip club who spent the scene before munching on a fast food snack finds that the meal didn't agree with him, and he graphically throws up on the bathroom mirror. Johnny, who witnessed this, quips that he'll inform the kitchen.
- Workout Fanservice: Son Kees watches a group of black girls playing basketball. Then he images them naked and him joining in.
- You Can Leave Your Hat On: Kees (Tatjana Simic) performs a striptease wearing a traditional Dutch outfit. Subverted during her second performance. She says she doesn't want to take her clothes off every time, so she sings instead. The crowd isn't happy, but Johnnie is ready to defend his sister's honor.
