Flodder 3 (Alternative titles: Flodder Forever or Flodder: The Final Story) is a 1995 Dutch comedy film directed by Dick Maas. It is the third and last movie about the anti-social family, called 'Flodder'. The movie is not a continuation of the previous two movies, but of the TV series. Different from the first two movies, son Kees is now played by actor Stefan de Walle and Johnnie Flodder is now played by Coen van Vrijberghe de Coningh, the same actor as in the TV series.
The film was recorded directly after the third season of the TV serial from September to November 1994 and is a combination of three considered scenarios which were originally intended for episodes of the TV series. 1997 marked the final ending of Flodder, when Coen van Vrijberghe de Coningh died unexpectedly due to a heart attack at a private party at the Flodder Studio' s in Almere, where the round-off of seasons four and five was being celebrated., which eventually caused the discontinuation of the entire series.
In January 2014, director Dick Maas announced "Flodder 3 - The Making of" a short clip that features previously unreleased footage and is narrated by van Vrijberghe de Coningh. Maas released the clip for free on YouTube.
Living in Zonnedael for a while now, the Flodder family continues their usual antisocial behaviour; Ma Flodder regularly gets in trouble with the neighbors, her sons Johnnie and Kees are on welfare and spend their time supplementing their income with petty crime. Daughter Kees acts rather promiscuously and the youngest children Toet and Henkie commit extreme mischief (bordering on vandalism) around the neighborhood, often involving their older grandpa in their acts. The family's dog Whisky is vicious and aggressive and loud parties keep the neighbors awake.
As celebrations for the 25th anniversary of Zonnedael draw closer, the organisation of the festivities, fearing that the Flodder family will ruin the party, grows more and more desperate and uses every methode they can think of to get rid of them. One of them uses his daughter Mirjam to spy on Sjakie, the civil servant who aids the family on the government's behalf. In doing so they discover that in order for the Flodders to stay in Zonnedael the government has set up some official terms. For example, criminal activities and family expansion are prohibited and upon learning this, chairman Van Brandwijk in particular tries to come up with whatever he can to force the family to leave. In the midst of this all Ma Flodder gets romantically involved with a hobo.
