Germany's Most Successful Movie Ever... A Comedy
Vložit

- If you thought the most successful German film was going to be something like Lives of the Others or Fitzcarraldo, you could not be more wrong! Germans love the Wild West and they love comedy.
In fact, The Schuh of the Manitou ("Der Schuh Des Manitu") was so popular that it got a second theatrical release and they adapted it into a musical. - Zábava
Should this movie get a Criterion collection release?
This sounds like a great film and very funny.
No. That's for films that might disappear, and Godzilla for some reason, somehow I don't think this film is going anywhere.
Do you think that prequels will be necessary? What about a video game adaptation?😂
'Der Schuh des Manitu' is a better film than 'Armageddon' and that got a Criterion release. So... maybe?
The full version of the dubbed movie is already on youtube for free
To be fair Winnetouch is the most successful person in the Movie. He has a ranch and everything. And he successfully romances one of the bad guys.
HONESTLY! Love him so so much!
to be fair, that doesnt mean anything. The most successful person in Star Wars is basically evil personified
@@LostMyGoatsAgain The point was, he is not just a joke or a loser, he's actually a Chad who just happens to be very gay
@@Hellschwarz but that has nothing to do with his character.
Granted it's been probably over a decade since I have seen the movie, so I don't remember, but from other comments and the clip it seems like he is portrayed rather unfortunately. Being rich doesnt change that.
That's like saying, oh the woman in the movie is portrayed as a little stupid, a terrible driver and histeric but to be fair she is also rich and a chad.
The last sentence sounds a little hostile. It isn't meant that way, I just thought it worked really well.
It's all about his character. Back in the time having a gay character usually meant they were the butt of the joke. Now with Winnetouch in particular he IS the butt of the joke, but he is not a loser. He's excentric. That's why I think he is not portrayed as badly as other gay characters were in the same timeframe. @@LostMyGoatsAgain
I feel bad for Calvin. He clearly was very unzufrieden with the Gesamtsituation at the end.
Marterpfahl😂
Like come on regardless of how that movie has aged you just made me remember that bit and im laughing.
Best comment by far. We should cheer him up by playing the Lied from the Superperforator-Werbung
This one is underrated
Hauptsach Munition.
Let me guess: 80% of the people in the comments are Germans discussing in English whether the movie is offensive or not😂
got it in one. The other 20% are a three-to-one ratio of people who were either lowkey offended by this skit, have no sense of humor themselves, or no deeper familiarity with any actual Germans past the level basic stereotypes (they are all trotting out the "Germans have no sense of humor" clichee); and folks commenting on wardrobe, staging and execution of the scene - who are, overall, quite pleased.
Which is also part of the funny stereotyping.
We (German and American) find sis wery funny and not so far from se truus.
I watched it and didn't like it.
The reason is clear. For an admirer of the "real" Winnetou ecetera I can't cope with this exaggerated humour. What did the do to "my" childhood hero ? When in "Winnetou 3" Winnetou died, I was heartbroken. Like a beloved relative had gone.
There is only one Winnetou. Politicial correctness, cultural appreciation, I don't care.
Only a person growing up with the movies will understand the parody.
The "picture" of the Native Americans wasn't correct, but lovable.
Duh? I doubt any Americans watched it (they should tho)
its today offensive, and 2000s corny
"I'd like to believe I'm One eight Cherokee" - such an American sentence. Love it
So many people get disappointed when they do a DNA test.
I kinda respect it in a way, because he says "I *like to believe* I'm..." not "I *am*..." Feels like he knows and acknowledges he's probably not, but just he likes to think he is.
1/8th or simply: 1 great grandparent
@@Sashazur Especially because DNA tests are scams :) everyone just wants to feel special. DNA testing companies openly admit the inaccuracies and pesudo-science in the fine print ;)
Which generally means one of your ancestors raped a native woman. Not sure I'd brag about that
Well the overexagerated "Indianer!“ scream followed by 2 friendly dudes waving and just saying "servus" will always be funny to me.
One of my favourite movies ever.
"The overuse or missusing of the peace pipe may lead to unexpected consequences"
that's an interesting title
So, "Dude where's my Car?" 😂
@@theamiciits a line from the movie.
Also great "oh my god, the schoschonen have dig up the folding chair"
I love that they call Ranger "The man with the southern accent (der Mann mit dem Südstaaten-Slang)" because he speaks Bavarian 😂
The thing about der schuh des Manitu is that it's not making fun of native Americans. It's making fun of what Karl May thought were native Americans. Does that make it less offensive? Probably not. I still laugh my ass off when watching it because it reminds me of a simpler time. (As in: I was 14 when I saw it first and most things are simpler when you're fourteen)
The Indians in that film are played by actual American Indians, and they were surprised that they are not playing the bad guys in that film.
I don't think the movie is offensive!
It definitely did not age well. Even the people that made it admitted as much. It's more so a testament of the time it was made in I suppose. Back then it was literally THE SHIT and everyone has seen it.
@@danw91yeah, it was a product of its time and the gay jokes didn't age well. But the way Sky DuMont treats his crew of bandits like an elementary school class on a field trip is still hilarious and no one can convince me otherwise. Also the scene where they ride that mine cart. I can still hear it flapping in my mind.
are you 15 now? [sorry, i couldnt resist :P]
The commercial musical sequence will never leave my brain
You don't have to wait for later

Yeah... i guess for some this never gets old even not after decades.🥱

Karl May was a funny guy... but nobody believed him😂
Warning: people that dont understand the highlyadvanced German Humour won't really like the movie
Don't you mean highlyadvancedgermanhumour?
Did you mean pimmelzwischendenbeinengehtbrrrrrr
It's German Humour, mate. It's no laughing matter.
Think that's rough?
Try sitting through an old SNL Dieter clip on Sprockets with your German friends and family and explaining why Mike Myers is hilarious. Might as well be watching the TBS version of the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles--nothing but crickets.
@@machalot, this guy Germans.
I'm so glad to see a video on this, it's always been on of my favorite stories about Germany. If I'm not wrong the most popular German books on cowboys and Indians were written by a German who had never been to America.
You are not wrong. ;) - He read some letters of emigrants and some geography books, and the rest is, more or less, escapist fantasy. But one that resonated a lot with millions of Germans over the past 150 years. (Rumour has it that when the author travelled to the US at an older age, and saw all the things he had imagined for real, he had either a nervous breakdown or a depessive episode, because things were so different from what he had imagined.)
And the movie mentioned in the video pokes fun at this very German national quirk.
Yes! And it was Hitler’s favorite book series. He really thought the fact that there was always a deus ex machina for the main character to get out of a situation was really how the world worked. That’s why in Der Untergang he was so pissed about Steiner’s assault failing. That was supposed to be his deus ex machina.
@@ferretyluvHitler believed that through "natural selection" (= a war) the Aryans would either come to dominate over other races or if they didn't they wouldn't be deserving to exist at all. That's why he chose suicide over escape.
@tariik.h lol he didn't actually believe that shit, that was just some bullshit that the nazis made up man. He killed hinself because be didn't want to be tortured for the rest of his life by the red army.
Near as I can tell most of the people writing stories that rely on greek, viking, egyption, etc never actually went to any of the places their stories are inspired by until long after their novel is done.
Which makes sense if you really think about it. To be inspired about something, it has to feel at least a little distant, so that all those rumors and myths the author overhears strikes up their imagination. Turns the place into a fantasy.
One thing I've noticed is that in the Anglosphere the native Americans have mostly been displayed in a bad light. Think Peter Pan, "playing cowboy and Indian" etc. They have often been savages and the bad guys.
While in Germany they were actually more seen as the good guys and were romantacised.
Same goes for the western movies of Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill where the German interpreter took the liability of changing it into a mor upbeat genre
True, also in Tex (italian comic cartoon books) they are often represented as the "good guys"
Yes because in comparison to americans, german people actually recognize and learn what consequences racial discrimination can have and that victims of a genocide should be heard and deserve compassion
@@caroskaffee3052Ah, but the Winnetou books of Karl May were written in the 19th century. The cliché of the brave and noble Indianer who knows no pain but knows the land and how to live on it is not even exclusive to Germany.
@@davidwuhrer6704 agree!
Actually, rewatching "Schuh des Manitu" I was surprised at how WELL the indigenous characters held up.
They were given the same type of humor as the rest of the cast, meaning they weren't "othered" as people.
And they were most of the time shown speaking their native language (which, while I can't tell if it's an accurate one, at the very least it sounded VERY consistent and believable, including pronunciations) so the movie worked with a surprising amount of subtitles. Concidering that they are very obviously parody Indians I do have to say they were absolutely treated with respect as characters
Im pretty sure its a fake language anyway, the joke is that the american "indians" are played by real Indians from India.
Edit: btw. this statement is only partly true, check out my other comment below.
@@derPetunientopf even in that case, the way the fake language was written isn't taking you out of the movie. It sounds like a language you can believe, they put alot of care into it. Taht was what I meant.
(I didn't even realize that the "Indians" are casted with people from India, that's fucking brilliant lol)
@@CatalinaLinal7710 I looked a bit more into it and have to correct myself. The Chief is played by Robert Irshad Panjatan who is German/Indian. The others are not (Still a good sidegag). Robert Alan Packard and Tim Sikyea are native Americans. Salvatore Pascale is Italian/German and Antonio Ramirez is probably Spanish/German but im not sure. The rest of the "native Americans" are played by German/Germans i guess.
@@derPetunientopfNow I'm sad that they weren't all Indians :( Thanks for correcting yourself though
Loved the "Jaaaa, not quite" it encapsulated the pain of having to explain the movie perfectly
I was convinced that he made it up this story and the movie was not real. I searched and was surprised it was a true movie. Now, I will have to find and watch this movie.
the movie has the BEST (!) intro of a villain in movie history: /watch?v=P-XaMKRCEgQ
DON'T DO THAT... unless you can actually appreciate german humour😂❤
My wife is German and she introduced me to Der Schuh des Manitou and I absolutely loved it. I will admit though...it has not aged well.
Actually it aged really well. It shows that 20 years ago Germany was still pretty normal country and it took only few years to turn it into self-destructing woke machine.
@@KryptosatanTemnozorkeep sniffing that glue man
@@MatureManureHe isn't wrong though. The whole "Winetou is cultural appropriation" thing for example was pretty retarded. No one in Europe would have thought that way 20 years ago. Which should be natural, because the concept of cultural appropriation is opposite of the European values of integration and assimilation. Only people that would want to spread hate and segregation would subscribe to such a concept.
I can only talk about the gay side of things and my boyfriend and I aren't able to watch the movie anymore but that's because at the last rewatch our little Hamster girl died in my hands while I was constantly petting her 😢
The movie is still super funny. The "Abahatschi" scenes are the best part of the movie
@@Finsternis..i hope you so know that you fell for right wing populism. Apart from very few people no one actually things cultrual apropriation is a thing. Not even in the left.
Zur reason the Movie aged Bad is mostly because of its sterotypical gay people "jokes".
Other than most movies by Bully Herbig, Der Schuh des Manitu has an official English dub. In case somebody was looking to watch it
My god. I just checked and it actually exists. Jeesus Christ I'm dying
I wonder how they translated all the Wordwitze.
@@auraluna7679 From what I remember people saying (in comments today and way back when on TV), many of the jokes didn't translate well and the film flopped internationally.
I never checked to see if it''s true though
And its also very successful musical. Where the story on Winnietouch and his horse Jaqueline is even more extended.
We will make it our mission to get it on Broadway. Hugh Jackman as Winnetouch and Lin Manuel Miranda as the horse.
@@calvinandhabsomg yes please! I will help in this mission in any way I can 🤣
@@calvinandhabsyou have my vote
Honestly, I don't think it really aged badly. It's never mean spirited, wich is usually the main issue with "badly aged" movies.
It's normally the (for lack of a better word) good-spirited depictions which tend to be the most problematic though. Like the "noble savage" for example.
Might sound odd but it's exactly because people think "oh, there is no problem with that, it's a compliment after all, it's a positive depiction" that it becomes so difficult getting rid of. Because normally these depictions are as incorrect as the mean-spirited ones, but maybe you've made that experience yourself before where it's difficult to tell somebody their compliments or words of encouragement are really doing the opposite for you right now.
Or getting a present you really can't use nor wanted and having to explain that somehow.
I think parts of it aged horribly, others aged alright. But honestly, comedies often age poorly because many of the jokes play with what's acceptable and what is toeing the line. And when the line moves in any direction those jokes can become boring or offensive.
I dont know how the viewing experience would be without having seen Karl May movies beforehand. And i'm sure much is lost to translation.
That being said, I still quote it regularly and think its hilarious.
I'll probably humm the super perforater song on my deathbed.
"You don't have to wait til later for this new eliminator... ask you local weapons trader for the super perforator..."
God, just hearing the title starts the song in my head lol
I never saw the Karl May filmes and still liked "Der Schuh des Manitu" when I saw it the first time as a child and as an adult I'ts even funnier after discovering now some gags I didn't saw/get as a kid.
I was about 12 at the time the film released and never onced watched a Winnetou-Film before, and I still loved Schuh des Manitu. So I wouldn't say prior knowledge is 100% necessary.
(Edit: typo)
Germans also made 5 biker cartoon movies, and I know I will get flak from some people for Eiskalt being the worst one in the series, but hey, I dont care, I travelled 1200 kilometres by train from Slovakia to Kiel for the world premiere, met Brosel, got some Bolkstoff, enjoyed one evening at the Kieler Woche and travelled the same route back on the night train. Best.Experience.Ever! Funniest part was that I could not buy the ticket online in pre-sale as I was trying to do so from another country, so I had to call the movie theatre to explain to them that indeed I am going to travel 1200 kilometres to see a cartoon and I really, really need to be sure I get the ticket, they obviously thought this was some mystery shopping customer satisfaction experience exercise, so they did indeed leave a ticket for me at the cash desk (never expecting anyone to actually come). When I arrived to collect it, the lady picked up the phone, called the manager and said: Du, den Kerl gibts echt, er ist hier!😆
Elefantentreffen!!!
@@Athena621 Did that as well, 3 different years, 3 different bikes, great fun!
Yes, "Werner" is a national treasure...at least in the northern part of Germany, that actually understands Plattdütsch.

That was a great story. Rings completely true to Geemany, all the way to the call at the end.
"Nein du Horst!" got me 1:03 😂😂😂
The German Type 124 frigate "Sachsen" has a Combined Diesel And Gas propulsion system with one General Electric gas turbine. The first turbine the ship had was a little faulty and tended to crap out at high power (high revolutions), and because of that, the crew christened it "Jacqueline", including a sign with the name on it hung on its casing.
I never understood that reference... Thanks for the insight!
Oh wie cool is Das den bitte? 😂
Interesting story... I've never heard of it before!!!
Thanks for sharing what has now become and will likely remain for the rest of my life my favorite piece of obscure Bundeswehr-related trivia. I have a feeling it will be hard to top this one.
“It affects me because I am one eighth Native American” had me balling in laughter
and you left out the actual funny part from that quote: "I'd like to believe"
You’re right, still it’s funny cause I hear that stuff all the time lol. Do you?
There actually are some native american languages which only survived because some dudes in Germany studied and spoke them and in turn tought them to some actual native americans. It's almost like some guys studying Elvish or Klingon nowadays, but with actual languages.
Also, Karl May actually pretended to be his made up character and despite never even going to the US, he dressed in "authentic" frontiersman clothing and always had a rifle with him.
The Nazis actually loved his stories about a dashing white man conquering untamed wilderness, but as long as he was alive he told every far right person (he died in 1912, so there weren't any Nazis around yet) to fuck off, usually accompanied with a slap on his trusted rifle, with which he had "killed 100 men and made the West safer".
He was a chaotic good conman, if you will.
Danke Bully für dieses Meisterwerk der Filmgeschichte
When my German Uncle visited us in America (My mom was German and married my dad) we watched Der Schuh Des Manitu, and despite some language barrier, it was still incredibly funny.
You should watch "(T)Raumschiff Surprise - Periode 1" next °L°
@@BestAnimeFreakagreed!
Can I just come out and confess that I've seen Der Schuh des Manitouh multiple times and I never, *never* got the Abahachi/Hatschi/Gesundheit joke? Thanks for the explanation. It's been 84 years.
I usually don't think of the movie as making fun of Native Americans or gays but rather lampooning Western movie clichés and the toxic masculinity associated with the genre. It's obviously a child of its time, but never malicious. Also, as others have mentioned, with the exception of the main character's double role the Natives are all played by Native American actors.
Not quite... The chieftain is literally of Indian descent. Which is a joke in itself.
I can't speak for native Americans or their descendants but as a gay woman who managed to get into a bigger friend group of gay people, we watched the movie together at a huge sleepover and all loved it!
It's quite interesting how fun even those stereotypes can be for the people they're applied on if they're used in a casual, fun and light-hearted manner to fuel a joke
"im unpleased with the overall situation"

I watched the movie when I was a child and I loved it. Their antics are sostupid, I still laugh today when I rewatch them.
Another great movie from them was "Raumschiff Surprise" EPIC

@@tioalra6746 Stimmt! Hast recht :)
Honestly, that's the thing about the Bully Herbig movies, the antics are incredibly stupid which is why it makes it so funny. It's very slapstick and I don't think there are many jokes made at the expense of other people. Mainly sight gags and stuff...
@@Nariasan Mr.Herbig has since revoked his positive opinions about his old movies and turned to the woke thinking they are bad as they stand today......
@@320iSTWEditionyou're paraphrasing and that's not even true. He just said that he couldn't make these jokes today bc people wouldn't roll with it.
Of course we have heard of Karl May.
I would love to go and see the Karl May Spiele in Bad Segeberg. That looks like a great time to be had.
I've been there, once, when I was like 6 or 7 years old. I barely remember anything, but I do know that we attended a stage play there.
10/10 would recommend

If you liked "Der Schuh des Manitu" you should watch "Traumschiff Surprise" which is a parody of Startrek and Starwars and is about three gay men helping to save the galaxy: Very funny :D

The video title is correct, but you are talking about the wrong movie. Germany's most succesful movie is "Otto - Der Film", which is indeed a comedy. It had 14.5 million viewers (West and East Germany combined), whereas "Der Schuh des Manitu" only had 11.7 million.
Otto's movie made less money
@@gornser Not if you account for inflation.
@@gornserthat’s the most American answer. Money counts more than people.
(Also wrong, because you didn’t adjust for inflation.)

You got me at Hugo Stiglitz
I am aware of the Finnish version of star trek parody
It's solid Gold
I watched the movies when I was pretty young so I somehow never realized how gay these movies were. Needless to say, a quick lookup of the scene where the extremely homosexual heroes shoot out of a penis shaped ship in a smaller ship, while screaming "YES!" cleared that up VERY fast.
Also Til Schweiger was PERFECT for the role of the normal one in a group of crazy people.
My favourite star trek parody will always be Galaxy Quest.

Der Schuh des Manitou - richtige Kindheitserinnerung ☺️
You would think Americans would react positively to the superperforator, nein?
There are some pretty funny German comedies, like that one, Good Bye Lenin, that was about a woman who fell into a coma before the German Reunification, and she wakes up after it's happened. So her son tries to keep up an illusion that she still lives in East Germany to prevent her from going into shock. It's pretty funny.
Goodbye Lenin is one of my favourite movies - an absolute classic😄
Also Bang Boom Bang
Good Bye Lenin is a total classic but I found it depressing af. Maybe because of how my family had difficulties reintegrating after the unification. (Most of my family lived in West Germany, but the ones stuck in East Germany had a hell of a hard time).
@@Nariasan I didn't think of it as a comedy when I first watched it. For me it was more of a family drama with funny bits.
I've changed my mind since, mind you; but I wanted to say that I could see how one could find it depressing.

A vomiting horse is the epitome of absurdist comedy because horses can't vomit
There is a saying in Germany: Horses have been seen vomiting. It means that even the most incredible things are possible, especially things one would prefer not to be.
So yes, it's absurd, but hardly the epitome. The obligatory Mexican guy being from Greece (and played by an Armenian) is more so.

Sounds like I need to watch Good Bye Lenin
Schuh des Manitou is peak comedy
Late '80s, on an exchange from Germany with Hampton High (Go Crabbers) in Norfolk, VA. Got dragged into the highschool library, and to my great surprise, I was introduced to the local German "treasure": the "compleat " collection of all Karl May books of the Karl May Verlag, Bamberg, gold cut inclusive. Luckily, I discovered the awesome scifi collection and the Apple 2Es with color monitors. I also learned to master (read manipulate) the hall pass system. Good times, lived off ice cream sandwiches for a couple of months, as I could not stomach the cafeteria food. 😃
that ending ooooh boy. good one!
That was awesome!

Don't disrespect the Schuh des Manitou. This movie earned the number one.

Fun fact: Karl May never has been to any of the locations he wrote about, never meet anybody of the people he wrote about.
The fun in Schuh des Manitu comes from Herbig butchering the cliches we have about "Indianer" and "cowboys".
try to explain the Werner animated comedy movies to a non German xD
LOL the last line raises the whole skit to a level of intelligent humor that Americans can't follow (if it wasn't actually there from the get go). Very witty!
Der Schuh des Manitou und Starship Surprise sind einfach Meisterwerke der deutschen Filmindustrie!
one of my favourite movies. and they're making a sequel btw
Wait, do Americans not know Winnetou?
To this day still the only movie I watched more than once in cinema.
This movie was also popular in Poland. "But Manitu" - I liked it.
