Dies und das:

Oliver Hirschbiegel visited the director and the editor of this film during the cutting process (he was cutting his film Untergang, Der (2004) in the editing room next door) and was shown some scenes - especially those of Butler Alfons Hatler.

Pannen:

Filmfehler: When the box in the harbor opens and the girl-group "No Angels" runs out of the box screaming, one member can still be seen in the right-hand corner of the screen.

Dialogzitate:

Chief Inspector Even Longer: [climbing out of a trap door from a cellar] I thought I was a goner.
Miss Pennymarket: This is an old trap door, from the 14th Century.
Butler Alfons Hatler: We still need it - for the Jehovah's Witnesses.

Funny but not great

This movie makes fun of all the Edgar Wallace movies and some others like E.T. (again, guess which scene) or Silence of the lambs. But you notice that the authors really loved those movies and are able to pick out all the typical things that make these movies great. The actors are great especially Bastian Pastefka (who got extremely fat) and Hatler. The jokes vary from great to autsch but especially the first half hour is extremely entertaining. I thought by that now the Hitler-jokes would get old (all those brits faking a German accent - and doing it rather bad by the way) but here it is very well done with the butler Hatler. All in all good entertainment and a few memorable scenes and Jokes. 6 out of 10.
