Soon, the Shoshones are on the warpath to get their money back, and Abahachi is forced to organize it quickly. Luckily, he, his twin brother Winnetouch, beautiful dancer Uschi and the Greek Dimitri each own a quarter of a treasure map that leads them to 'the shoe of Manitu'. There, Santa Maria already awaits them to take their new treasure away as well. But he did not think about the determination of Abahachi's team.

| User ReviewYannick DIt's a movie that fills me with nostalgia but also one that hasn't aged particularly well. |
| User ReviewSimon GThere are not that much really bad movies because I don't belong to those kind of people who are dumb and watch bad movies =) But from time to time I get somehow in those too. |
| User ReviewDan N[b]CALIFORNIA SPLIT (Robert Altman, 1974) - 6.0 / mixed [/b]The gambling milieu is aptly presented, but I missed any sustance behind it all. It's a typical Altman film, environment is more important than storystelling. Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't and this one is in between. [b]THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH (Nicholas Roeg, 1976) - 7.0 / pro [/b]The story didn't always seem to be coherent, but the visuals were amazing. It also achieves something a science-fiction film should achieve, which is telling something about our society. [b]MANITOE'S SHOE [DER SCHUH DES MANITU] (Michael Herbig, 2001) - 4.5 / con [/b]I have avoided the most successful German film since box-office results are counted (that was in its year of release seen by more people than "The Fellowship of the Ring" and the first "Harry Potter-movie) like the plague. Now, I tried to watch it open-minded, but the simple premise overstays its welcome soon. This film is to the Germans, what "The Visitors" is to the French, a lot of horse dung. [b]WINTER SLEEPERS (Tom Tykwer, 1997) - 8.0 / pro [/b]I haven't come across a Tykwer film that I didn't like. This one is like "The Sweet Hereafter" meets "Mystic River" and at least better than the latter. |
