Bang, Boom, Bang (1999)

That was an excellent one.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

"Bang Boom Bang" on first sight seems to be yet another movie about stereotypical working class people in the Ruhr area of Germany. And in a way it is. The characters depicted are exaggerated into absurdity, all the clichés about them are woven into the film. But by giving it a serious chance and just accept this, you soon notice that actually a lot of love was put into it and that this is more than just mocking a certain group of people.Through various characters and motivations, the events start to become more and more intermingled, confusing and absurd, everything makes perfect sense, nonetheless chaos has it all. This guarantees an entertaining plot that keeps you watching and doesn't let boredom stand a chance. More so, the actors seem to feel their characters and bring life into the dull stereotypes they are to play.I wouldn't say that this is a superb movie, it is still largely based on prejudices and doesn't carry any message. But it is brave enough to not just follow a classic film scheme and take even the a bit ridiculous characters serious.All in all I really enjoyed the film. It is surely one of the better German movies of that time.

this is definitely the best German comedy movie ever. i cant't get tired of watching it over and over again. i hope there is/ will be an English version of this movie some time so that everyone can enjoy this masterpiece of comedy.some people say Germans can't make good comedy movies. this one proofs them wrong. oliver korittke plays his role of the pot smoking, always chilling, constantly video-watching "Keek" so gorgeous that it seems to be impossible not to like him.if there is no English version of this film available, learn German - it's worth it!

Damn, I love this movie. It's not only Pulp Fiction in German, it's more. I've seen this movie when it was played in Unna. I've played personally against Tus Holzwickende, the football club which is mentioned in the movie. This movie is a movie about the society, about the culture of the outskirts of the famous "Ruhrgebiet". I love Unna, i love those small cities around (Menden *g*) I know all those weed-smoking dudes and this film is a monument just created for us. A 10 of course.

Maybe some Austrian comedies are not funny for German people because their humour lies in the way words are „Austrishly` pronounced. I think the humour of this German movie also lies in the actors' accent, if it was supposed to be funny. I think it was, but I didn't find any opportunity to laugh. Many trivial German comedies are like this.There is much more this movie is supposed to be. The director wanted to mix a little „Pulp Fiction` with a little „The Big Lebowski` and a lot of local colour. He failed. These were the longest two hours of my life.
