Terror 2000 (1992)

Very disappointing...

not horrible nor great

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

In 1968, during the trial against a member of the German student movement, he managed to take a dump on the judge's table. This action earned him the love & respect of his peer group, while students who were seriously into politics felt dumped on, too - and quite rightly so.This is basically the spirit you can expect from "Terror 2000". Lots of fecal matter, people invocating their archaic god all the time ("Scheixxx, scheixxx, scheixxx!"). There are completely hysterical sex & violence scenes. People acting like children having a temper tantrum. This movie is loud, shrill and - in the worst sense imaginable - "anarchistic". You should't expect anything else, except long boring filler periods.Christoph Schlingensief was the epitome of political correctness, wearing the mask of the ultimate riot clown. That's why the German media loved him. They always worship those crazy guys who are thinking totally out of the box - while keeping strictly to the rules that really matter. "Terror 2000" is ripe with tired old clichés approved with the PC-stamp "critical thinking", featuring first and foremost of course the obligatory "Nazi"-obsession.Its basically just a practical joke by and for adolescents that will embarrass them once they've finally grown up. A lot. ("Bad German Movies"-Review No. 14)

Schlingensief, love him or hate him. I love him. He's something like the skin cancer on a body named society. So are his films. Terror 2000 is this kind of film where you haven't the chance to relax, because you are confronted the whole time with loudness, chaos, violence, sex, dirty language and Nazis! But in such a grotesque, humoristic way that you can't do something other than look and laugh! See Udo Kier as maniac preacher, see Schlingensief himself as a gay Nazi, see all the other strange characters and be inspired! Schlingensiefs real intentions what he wants to tell us by this film I can't interpretate, because it's always difficult to understand him. I think like in most cases of his work it's only a story about the weirdness of our society. That's it.(Christoph, if you read this, please take me for your next film project, I would be for example a fantastic Hitler parody!)It's clearly 9 points, because this film is highly entertaining, and that's what a film has to do in my opinion!

This film has to be above and beyond the most pathetic deutsche film ever produced. With Deutschland not exactly being known for it's great films, this piece of garbage goes to further enforce the stereotype and stigma that has surrounded German films for years, that being they are just pure garbage. So take it from milchhund this movie is good for a laugh (exactly one laugh) and nothing more except a headache, and the need to smoke a lot (even if your a non smoker) as well as the need to drink your self stupid. Even Doom Generation was better then this crap. Technical crap, sound was horrible, camera work was infantile, the acting fully unbelievable and dry even though it's supposed to be bad, it's bad! The story was very weak. The only saving graces were the look at Germany after reunification in the east, while the west looked down on the new lowest class of Germans the east tried to adapt to their new found freedoms while still stuck even deeper in poverty. That's about all the film was able to produce for me though.The pain The pain.

This politically-incorrect saga meshes sex, violence and humor in its tale of a husband-and-wife detective team sent to a German refugee camp to find a Polish family and a social worker. During the search, the sleuths are kidnapped by neo-Nazis, and it's soon learned that their interests are as strange as the people around them. Udo Kier never been better playing a gun toting Priest, who loves putting his gun in his mouth and others. Gore and violence are just over the top in this German cult classic.
