Der Wixxer: Difference between revisions

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Considering the fact that [[Bilingual Bonus|English is not the target audience's native language]], names like Earl of Cockwood or Mrs. Drycunt do certainly count. While this is not especially hard to see through, the fact that it's English is probably the reason that the movie got away with this. This and the fact that Germans are a bit more relaxed when it comes to ratings.

* [[Herr Doktor]]: By the time of the second movie, Hatler got a medical degree and now runs an [[Bedlam House|insane asylum]] in Britain.

* [[His Name Is]]: [[Played for Laughs]] with the Earl of Cockwood offering to reveal the Wixxer's identity, only to proclaim with his last breath that he hasn't time for that anymore. In the sequel, Eddie the Informant is killed short of revealing Wixxer's whereabouts and Chucky Norris is accidentally hit on the head and drowns before revealing Wixxer's identity.

* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: ANY name of any person or location. Aside of sexual allusions they also play with a German grocery store chain, hairstyles and whatnotever.

** And in another scene, Longer exclaims that he has a gigantic thing in his trousers! He means {{spoiler|the poisonous snake someone has smuggled into his clothes.}}

* [[Latex Perfection]]: Spoofed several times. In the first movie, the Wixxer wears the face of a [[The Cameo|well-known talk- and quiz-show host]] over his bulky expressionless skull mask. In the second movie, Even's brother Much Longer wears a mask that looks exactly like his own face, just with a moustache.

* [[Legacy Character]]: {{spoiler|You could consider the Wixxer to be one: Within two movies, 4 different people have been under this mask.}}

* [[Low Speed Chase]]: The stair lift chase in ''Neues vom Wixxer''.

* [[Taking the Bullet]]: Very Long sees the bullet shot at Even Longer, runs alongside the bullet, ''overtakes it'', throws himself into the bullet's path, lands back onto the ground [[Painfully Slow Projectile|before the bullet even touches him]], ''jumps again'', and is finally hit by the projectile. All this of course in [[Bullet Time|slow motion]].

* [[The Butler Did It]]: {{spoiler|No, even though he looks like Hitler.}}

* [[Wire Dilemma]]: Solved by {{spoiler|switching to black & white, so that all the wires look the same}}.

* [[Xtreme Kool Letterz]]: The title is a parody on ''Der Hexer'' (one x), one of the classic Edgar Wallace movies. ''Wixxer'' is a idiosyncratic spelling of ''Wichser'' (wanker).
