Content
Two West German illiterate, the brothers Rudi and Moritz Kipp ( " tilt " and "Most" ), driving with an old Hanomag truck to Mecklenburg- Vorpommern, where they inherited the house of her grandmother. Since they can not read road maps and street signs and the already slow car prepares technical problems, the ride pulls out longer than expected. At a gas station forcing the volatile Sowjetarmist Viktor Kalashnikov with reproached to take him. One violent threat of five highwaymen on a lonely country road escapes the team only by Wiktors intervention. You turn the tables and force the bandits to get into their car and this drive into a lake. Only two of them manage the exit from the sinking car.
On the way to Wendelohe, the planned destination of the trip, there will be the strangest complications due to the naive and thoughtless behavior of the two brothers. Let sit for their money into buying a nearly worthless rowboat, dismissed out of pity, but illegally, the thirsty occupants of a pig transporter and steal the box office of a snack item. The longed-for heir in Wendelohe proves to be anything but magnificent mansion, but as Kate spent a day laborer.
As a must, Kipp and Victor realize that they are the criminal investigation department wanted for murder of the drowned highwaymen, they take the landlady of a local pub hostage.
In the course of the events rush: Kipp and must put an unusual criminal energy to the day. You change several times the escape vehicle and swap their old vices against a luxury car, this against two horses and this against a seemingly abandoned fishing boat. Only thanks to Victor and the hostage they escape several times to the police. Finally, the hunt comes in a very unexpected place at the end.
Stylistic devices
In a peculiar and therefore all the more wirksamerem contrast of the laconic, northern German humor Detlev Buck is at the beginning, although the deliberate, but in the course accelerating action. In particular, in the dialogues lies a subtle, often more subtle comedy.
Particular attention is paid in addition to the acting performance of the camera. Shot / reverse shot principle minutes long movies without editing, and other techniques are used deliberately pointedly.
A rest will do the film score: By just the deserting soldier Viktor happy, but a little tuneless the Russian soldiers' song " В путь (W Put) " ( On the way ) intones, extolling the loyalty and fidelity of the Russian soldier, the text ad absurdum. More grumbling as singing accompanied by his companions, the song is eventually taken over by a heroic polyphonic and dramatic orchestral though accompanied Male Choir. The design sounds modified several times in other scenes.
In a film of contemporary history in which play no prominent figures, one suspects a modest role of the mask. Here, however, show examples of a frugal, but at crucial points Visagierung consciously satirical oversubscribed used.
As a special feature, the film features a cameo appearance by Detlev Buck as scary skinhead in a village pub. In addition, the writer Ernst Kahl appears in the pub as a solitary drinker. Ingo Naujoks has here as a pig truck driver one of his first film appearances.

Reviews
" With numerous Western allusions studded comedy that mostly wins its appeal from the lovingly drawn and convincingly played the main characters that are as naive dreamers to Outlaws against his will. "
" After his flatland Karniggels Comedy (1991 ), which brought it to tip, this quirky comedy with strong bonds when Western was the first major box office success for Detlev Buck. At the same time experienced Joachim Król, who later also in The moving man left a great impression, with the role of the equally dumb as clever Rudi his breakthrough. Detlev Buck's humor is, as (almost) always, characterized by understatement. Laughter is created through recess of direct action, of permanent downplaying of the most absurd events. Also in this point, Buck oriented on models from the western genre (such as Howard Hawks ). "
" Like its predecessor ( First work, then, 1984;? Karniggels, 1991) lives Bucks third feature of the dry humor and the loving drawing of the main characters. "
" In the drawing, the aptly occupied main characters has Bucks German presence comedy their strongest sides."
