Bang Boom Bang - Ein todsicheres Ding

One of the funniest and best movies i've seen so far. I like to compare this movies with 'snatch' or 'Lock stock and two smoking barrels'. I think that this movies are only funny and 'good' if you watch them in their original language. If you don't understand German or never have lived in Germany, you cannot feel the characters like we Germans do. That's the reason why it's underrated. The characters are so cool. Well, 'keek, Kalle, Schlucke, Andy, Kapmann, Marc' everyone of them is an unique idiot of its own kind. If one doesn't speak German, watch this movie in German with English subtitles. If there is an English audio version, don't watch it like that. It would be just crab. The funniest scenes are the the dialogs, and they cannot be translated in English, i'm sure about that. It by far the best German movie I've seen. So, if you are interested in foreign movies, don'T miss this one.

a really great movie, it should have been translated into English, it probably would have had a great success at the box office! or probably not, because it is rather one of those movies, you better watch at home with your buddies, with beer, coke, chips and perhaps some weed. sometimes Germans are able to make great movies - but only when they do their own stuff!

by the way, everybody has a favorite scene in that movie: mine is, when the garage-guy points at the line the safe made, from there where it was robbed to the garage! great characters! great movie! watch it!

For what it's worth, "Bang Boom Bang -- Ein todsicheres Ding" (BBB) is excellent, much better than many other German movies of that time. And finally, a German offering that is genuinely funny, without being silly or childish (like 99% of German comedies such as the "Otto Film" series and other comic catastrophies).

What I find remarkable about BBB is that it casts a number of actors in "out of character" roles, such as Diether Krebs (normally he plays a fat nerd, such as in the "Sketchup" TV series) and Martin Semmelrogge (normally he plays an evil - scary part, here he is a retarded wannabe - gangster). In BBB both of them are able to show their true potential. Unfortunately it came a bit too late for Diether Krebs -- he passed away shortly after the movie was released.

I have one (minor) criticism though -- Alexandra Neldel. She is cute and everybody's dream girl friend, but let's face it: she can't act for toffee. Her usual field of work are cheap soap operas where looks are more important than talent, so she is clearly out of place in a quality movie such as BBB.

This is the best film ever! Just 3 other films I've watched more than twice. But this film doesn't get boring even after 15 times watching it. It's all the details that make this film worth watching it ...and that make worth watching it again. After having watched it the second time I was really surprised how many funny elements I didn't catch the first time watching it. These details vary from the license plates, some videos in Frankies shop or funny repetitions especially of Andy and many many things more.

Non-German watchers be warned. You have to have lived in Germany for quite some time to get most the jokes (-:

To come to an end... all others watch this film or you have really missed something!!!

The good thing in the best traditions of such movies as "Lock, Stock @ Two Smoking Barrels", "Run, Lola, Run" and others. The spectacle with larceny of the safe is matchless. The dialogues elaborated with great accuracy. 9/10!!!
