Three Tigers in the movie: Jackpot (Czech: Tři Tygři ve filmu: JACKPOT) is a 2022 Czech action comedy film. It is based on a comedy improvisational show Three Tigers. On August 8, 2022, it was released on Netflix.

Plot

The main characters of the film are Milan (Albert Čuba) and David Votrubek (Štěpán Kozub), who win the jackpot thanks to a lottery ticket, but for which they have to travel to Sazka's headquarters in Prague, which turns out to be a problem because they get lost on the way and eventually travel through Poland and Slovakia. On their heels are an incompetent policeman Robert (Robin Ferro) and unsuccessful actor Herbert (Vladimir Polák), who want to win the lottery for the mobster Král (Dušan Sitek). Král is struggling with financial problems and wants to take advantage of the stupidity and naivety of the main characters.

Reception

The film received mostly average to below-average ratings from Czech film critics.

In his review for Aktuálně.cz, Kamil Fila states that the Three Tigers are a phenomenon with a large audience, but the chosen format is not a film, but "a collection of sketches that do not hold together". In a review for the same periodical, Tomáš Stejskal states that in the film, Three Tigers lost the impact of its comedic scenes and that they do not find a way to make appropriate use of the aptly executed parodic passages.

Editorial summary

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “2022 film directed by Emil Křižka” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q113362743. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
