One day, Abahachi needs to take up a credit from the Shoshone Indians to finance his tribe's new saloon. Unfortunately Santa Maria, who sold the saloon, betrays Abahachi, takes the money and leaves. Soon, the Shoshones are on the warpath to get their money back, and Abahachi is forced to organize it quickly.

Brilliant and touching
All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
This movie is not meant to be intellectually stimulating or life-changing. It is meant to be quotable and overall hilarious. The story is simple: Apache and Friend in trouble, Apache has quarter of treasure map to get out of trouble, bad guy follows Apache around trying to find treasure.Having said that, the movie is filled with little gems of comedy (see Superperforator or ice cream). It also redefines the use of a pen.The acting in this movie is also quite good. Dimitri, Ranger, and Abahachi are a well known comedy trio who are excellent sketch comedians. As the movie is in a way a 90 minute collection of sketches with the same characters, the performances seem very natural.I'd say it's probably the best full-out comedy to come out of Germany in some time.
This movie is absolutely awful. I listened to the German edition and the English edition and I can't decide which is worse. The real problem with this movie and German comedy is that they treat it too serious. As I can understand German I find German comedians to be in general quite horrible when contrasted to American, or British humor.I guess what I dislike about this humor is that it is very cliché and predictable. For example the play on homosexuality is completely cliché and already done way too many times.In the end I could not watch either language of the movie to the end, and that is rare for me because I like watching movies.
I like movies that make me feel good and surprise me.I am a non German language savvy viewer and as such relied heavily on the sub titles. It was clear to me that the translations or humour misses the point for English speakers in some instances.Not withstanding that, I still laughed out loud in a room full of people who were looking at me strangely.I appreciated the humour (and who cares if I missed any of it, I will never know). I was asked by a friend to describe it and I called it a "Flying High in the desert, in the style of sauerkraut western" They understood immediately and sat down to watch the rest of it with me, laughing just as hard.Simple comedy, good angles for the humour. I enjoyed... 9/10 for something just out there and surprising.
I think this is one of the best german films ever, it´s full of good actors and for a comedian, the story is also very good. But the best thing surely are the jokes, for example the gay indian, the "Superperforator" song and the Schoschonen who hunt the heroes.But i understand why foreigners don´t enjoy this film. I think it isn´t funny for an american to see some unknown actors who talk about homosexuality and have a bad translated bavarian accent. So this film is only funny if you are german but then it is really funny because Michael "Bully" Herbig is such a funny guy, if you see him playing to important roles and beeing the director of this film, you´ll love him! But also Christian Tramitz (Ranger), Sky Dumont ("bad guy" Santa Maria) and Rick Kavanian (whose role as a greek wasn´t so funny in this film) are really good actors. And I also loved Santa Marias men, the bad cowboys.I´m sure that nearly every german has seen this film at least one time and if you speak german, you must have done this. But if you are french ore american, you don´t really need this film, I saw a part of the translated version, it was funny but not as good as the original film!
