Latvian Reacts: Funny German Western Parody

[@Anthyrion]

The movie is based on the short sketches from Michael "Bully" Herbig's Show "Bullyparade". In the show, they made a parody of the books and movies from the writer "Karl May" who is famous for portraying the american Wild West in his books and which later were filmed. The gags mostly come from the bavarian accent, the slightly gay undertone and the fact, that in this comedy movie the villain "Santa Maria" (who is portrayed by the german actor Sky du Mont) mostly is very serious while he practicly acts as a strict Kindergarten Teacher for his gang.

This Film has a complete high quality English overdub…if you want to watch this thing in english

[@joe666b]

Just looked at the Back of the Disc Cover and saw that it also has a dub in Hungarian and Russian languages (but they are only stereo and feel not like very high quality

[@stzi7691]

It is the trailer from "Der Schuh des Manitu", something like "Manitu's shoe" in Englisch, a Winnetou-Parody from Michael "Bully" Herbig. I think he has his own company "Herb-Film" or so. But I am not sure about the name. If you are googling "Bully Herbig" you might find the other movies.

Of course, the Dollar Trilogy with Clint Eastwood, directed by Sergio Leone, and featuring music by Ennio Morricone. By the way, a sequel to "Der Schuh des Manitu" titled "Das Kanu des Manitu" will be released in German cinemas in 2025.

Karl May and his novels about the fictional Apache chieftain Winnetou have had a lasting impression on Germany's youth since their first publication more than 130 years ago, so much so that "Chieftain Winnetou" (or his sister Ncho-Tschi) is one of the most beloved disguises for German children for carnival season. And there are groups of Germans with "Indianistics" (Native American tribal life) as their hobby. And while the Bad Segeberg festival is nice (and referred to in the movie), the real Winnetou show is at Felsenbühne Rathen near Dresden. As Karl May was living in nearby Radebeul while writing the Winnetou novels, you could say that the rock formations around Rathen are the actual inspiration for Karl May's fantasies about the Rocky Mountains. There even are parts in his novels where you can tell where he was hiking when he was composing them. It also pays off to know Karl May's work to understand some of the jokes. The villain in the movie is called "Santa Maria", while the villain in Karl May's "Winnetou Part 1" is called Santer. There is another novel called "Old Shatterhand and the Halfblood Apanatschi", where the Native American character in the movie, Abahatschi, gets his name from - but as a play on words, because "Aber Hatschi!" can be translated to "But - Achoo!" Abahatschi's ponce brother in the movie is called Winnetouch instead of Winnetou etc.pp..

@@SiqueScarface Coole informations I did not know! Thx!👍

[@Syndur]

Well, the "boss guy" is played by a German-Argentinan actor, "Sky du Mont".

[@utej.k.bemsel4777]

When my friend and i watched the movie, we laughed soooo hard, that other people in the cinema turned around. By the way, i'm a wild west reenactor.😂

[@PropperNaughtyGeezer]

Sky du Mont looks like a US actor - you think about "Eyes Wide Shut" of Stanley Kubrick?

[@thebestman92-rq5xc]

I meant Jeremy Irons 😁😁

Favorite Westerns: High Noon (1952), Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), The Good the Bad and The Ugly (1966) ... and a Western-Comedy: My Name is Nobody (1973) ... with Terence Hill, produced by Sergio Leone... Music Score by the great Ennio Morricone.

Watch „Bang, Boom, Bang“

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

I'm not much of a western fan. But there are a few outstanding films. There are classics like "High Noon," "El Dorado," and "Two Mules for Sister Sara." Then there are two very old westerns from 1939 and 1940, "Jesse James" and "The Return of Frank James." Then there's "Broken Arrow" from my personal favorite, Jimmy Stewart, and the Civil War film "Shenandoah." And another Civil War film is "The Horse Soldiers." And as a Western parody, "The Hallelujah Trail"... And that's about it. That's not much for a big movie fan like me, considering the uncounted classic westerns that have been made...

[@andreas-franke]

Can't wait for the sequel movie called "Das Kanu des Manitu", which is coming this year! :-) You also should take a look at the second Bully Herbigs movie "Traumschiff Surprice", also very funny.

[@joe666b]

Traumschiff was the Third one…Erkan & Stefan came earlier

[@andreas-franke]

​@@joe666b​Ah ok, didn't know that Bully was involved in this one.

[@joe666b]

@ Bully Movies can easily be identified by 2 things… A Granny (In Schuh des Manitu you see her walking across all the Horses, in Traumschiff its the one collecting Donation for Making the Ship Nicer, Finding Nemo…) And the second one is something Exploding seen from above. In Schuh des Manitu and Traumschiff its that Item that gets hit by the Train

[@hh-kv6fh]

this is one of these winnetou movies of which "Der Schuh des Mannitou" is a parody. These movies were cult. German movies, mostly filmed in yugoslavia in the 196x. they had a great landscape and a good soundtrack. well, the story itself hasn't much to do with the books from its writer Karl May.^^ kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4m6e4p4aNmFZsk

[@CoL_Drake]

This was the most successful German movie at it's time. I think nowadays a few are made higher box office but they are and this "asocial" garbage trash movies so this was the good times

[@boqndimitrov8693]

funny comedy. 👍

[@Adrian-yn3lb]

If you want react to the full movie I could get you a DVD (or digital recording) with the full officially dubbed movie.
