'''The Heineken Kidnapping''' (original title: ''De Heineken Ontvoering'') is a 2011 Dutch crime movie based on the 1983 kidnapping of Alfred Heineken, President of the Board of the Heineken beer brewing company (a classic role by [[Rutger Hauer]]). The kidnapping and subsequent chase of the kidnappers dominated Dutch national news for several months in 1983/1984.

The kidnapping and subsequent chase of the kidnappers dominated Dutch national news for several months in 1983/1984.     


Heineken and his driver are held for 3 weeks until a ransom is paid. The second part of the movie focuses on the cat-and-mouse game between Alfred Heineken and the kidnappers who are being chased by a vengeful Heineken. Some reviews referred to the second part of this movie as ‘Revenge Is Best Served Cold’, a parody of a well-known Heineken beer slogan.

The Heineken Kidnapping (original title: De Heineken Ontvoering) is a 2011 Dutch crime movie based on the 1983 kidnapping of the President of the Board of the Heineken beer brewing company Alfred Heineken (portrayed by Rutger Hauer). The kidnapping and subsequent chase of the kidnappers dominated Dutch national news for several months in 1983/1984.

Heineken and his driver are held for 3 weeks until a ransom is paid. The second part of the movie focuses on the cat-and-mouse game between Alfred Heineken and the kidnappers who are being chased by a vengeful Heineken. Some reviews referred to the second part of this movie as ‘Revenge Is Best Served Cold’, a parody of a well-known Heineken beer slogan.


The following weapons were used in the film The Heineken Kidnapping:


Browning Hi-Power

The Browning Hi-Power is the gun seen most often in use by the kidnappers. Two versions seem to be used; a ‘regular commercial’ model but also the ‘first version’ with tangent rear sights.

After his release, Heineken keeps having post-traumatic dreams of the kidnappers who shoot him at close range with the Browning Hi-Power.

In some scenes, the above model Browning Hi-Power switches to the original model with tangent rear sights of which the rear sight seems to be partially removed. It is not clear if this indicates that the kidnappers had 2 examples or that this is a continuity mistake.

In yet another of his nightmares, Heineken faces a kidnapper who again shoots him from close range with a Browning Hi-Power.

M1 Carbine

Members of the SWAT team who rescue Heineken and his driver from their make-shift prison in a remote construction shed are seen carrying one of two versions of the M1 Carbine. Even though Dutch SWAT teams did carry this carbine well into the 1970-s (…), by 1983 these would have been replaced by Heckler & Koch MP5’s.

Apart from the above ‘regular’ M1 Carbine, a second (and more exotic) version is used that has a paratrooper stock, pistol grip, vertical foregrip and 30-round magazine. Somewhat of an improvement over the regular model it seems.

AKS-47

Another SWAT team member can be seen carrying an AKS-47 (!). An explanation for this totally incorrect choice of weapon might be that the armorer ran out of M1 Carbines with 30-round magazines and picked an AKS-47 instead assuming the general public would not notice.
