Der Schuh des Manitu: Difference between revisions

Abahachi remembers that he owns a treasure, which he inherited from his grandfather Gray Starling ("Grauer Star", meaning cataract, the eye disease). Unfortunately his grandfather raised him very well and tought him to share with others, so he divided the [[Treasure Map]] and shared it with his teenage friends. And so, Abahachi has to seek out and reunite the friends of his salad days -- his own [[Camp Gay]] twin brother Winnetouch, the Greek Dimitri and his childhood sweetheart Uschi -- and lead them on in a race against time to salvage the treasure before Santa Maria and his gang of bandits get there.

 

 

Being a parody, the whole movie is practically made from tropes.

There's also a stage musical that's been out for a while.

----

* [[A Father to His Men]]: Santa Maria to his [[Mooks]]. Sometimes their dialogues would be more fitting for a group of kids on an excursion, with Santa Maria as the adult in charge, rather than a gang of bandits and their boss. This is of course due to the [[Rule of Funny]].

* [[Anachronism Stew]]: Played for laughs a lot.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Hombre

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Abahachi and Ranger.

* [[Ho Yay]]: Winnetouch and Hombre are established as a gay couple by the end.

* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: Right from the beginning to the very end.

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]

'''Uschi:''' But 5'5 is not big. }}

* [[I Owe You My Life]]: How Abahachi and Ranger first met.

* [[Threshold Guardians]]: Lampshaded by Santa Maria: "No old Indian guarding the treasure? That's unexpected."

* [[Treasure Map]]

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Santa Maria has a custom revolver that Hombre can identify by its sound alone.

* [[Widget Series]]: A Weird German movie, made even weirder by the fact that most of the references will fly ''right'' over your head if you're not familiar with German culture. Fortunately, this adds to, rather than detracts from the movie.
