Trivia:

Helmut Körschgen, who plays the role of Lt. Körschgen, was a parking lot watchman in Elspe, Germany when Helge Schneider discovered him while working on "Texas". He suffered from a severe stroke during the shooting of "00 Schneider jagt Nihil Baxter" and was not able to continue on the set. He attended the premiere in a wheelchair.

Helges Masterpiece!

Helges best movie by far. Very funny, very surrealistic. If Bunuel made a movie starring Buster Keaton as Krusty the Clown it would look like this.

Brilliant performances by the cast we already know from other Schneider movies, especially Helmut Körschgen as the sidekick of 00Schneider. (Andreas Kunze who once more plays the wife in this one is a bit annoying though). And of course Helge himself as Nihil Baxter is absolutely incredible.

P.S: if this movie had a proper merchandising i would really like to buy a replica of that "Holz ist" painting.
