The Hit (also translated as Blockbuster, Czech: Trhák) is a 1980 made and 1981 released Czechoslovak comedy musical film directed by Zdeněk Podskalský.
He promotes his vision both against the opinion of the screenwriter Jíša, who had in mind a simple story from life, and despite the resistance of the production manager Šus, who considers the whole project overpriced nonsense.
He is enthusiastically and magnificently welcomed by all the citizens except Merunka, a crooked mason who built the local houses with adulterated mortar and rightly fears that they will fall due to the explosions.
Kohoutek tells this story through exalted singing performances and demanding choreographic numbers, to the dismay of both the submissive screenwriter and the hot-tempered production manager.
The filming process is accompanied by various usual complications, but the real disaster strikes when the director accidentally lets the village sets detonate prematurely, and the entire expensive scene has to be erected and shot again.
