  • Vääpeli Körmy (Sergeant Major Körmy) is a character played by famed Finnish comedian Heikki Kinnunen in a series of five Finnish comedies released between 1990 and 1997, as well as in a cameo appearance in Uuno Turhapuro herra Helsingin herra. The films each parody aspects of the Finnish Defense Forces but also Finland's international relations, its presidents and various political and social aspects of Finnish life. The films take primarily place in the fictional sissi garrison in Räyhäranta. Being unrealistically small for a standard Finnish garrison it only houses one of each rank of officer between Sergeant Major (Körmy) and Colonel (Tossavainen), as well a group of four corporals who start off as privates in the first film of the series. The films have also included a bizarre element of foreshadowing two real-life events that both occurred in 1995. The first film features a joke of Finland winning the Ice Hockey World Championships against the USSR. Finland would eventually win the championship in 1995. Also two films in the series poked fun at the idea of women joining the military. In 1995, women were allowed to serve voluntarily in the military. (en)
