[2] Poena is Koning was released in South Africa on 21 September 2007, in both Afrikaans and English-subtitled versions.
"[5] The South African news website Independent Online awarded the film one star and described it as "what seems to be an attempt to make an Afrikaans American Pie".
"[7] According to academic Chris Broodryk, Poena is Koning draws on American influences such as Porky’s (1981) and Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) but nevertheless follows a common theme in the director's body of work, by equating the quest for sexual intercourse with post-apartheid white masculinity.
