"Film Title: 'The Manitu Canoe' - An offering for the amusement industry"
In the much-anticipated sequel to the successful comedy "Der Schuh des Manitu" from 2001, "Das Kanu des Manitu" is set to make a splash in cinemas this Thursday. The film, which had its world premiere in Munich, brings back fan-favourite characters and introduces some exciting new additions to the cast.
Michael Herbig, reprising his role as Abahachi (also known as Winnetouch), and Christian Tramitz as Ranger are still riding through the prairie together. Abahachi, however, has taken on a new venture in the sequel, running a dance and fencing school. The emotional journey of the film is heightened by the final film appearance of Sky du Mont as Santa Maria, a character who experiences a miraculous resurrection in the story.
Joining the main cast are Jessica Schwarz as "Der Boss," the leader of a gang, Jasmin Schwiers as Ranger's daughter Mary, and Rick Kavanian as Dimitri, the Greek tavern owner who has expanded his business in the sequel. A notable addition to the film is Alan Tafoya, an American actor from New Mexico, who brings an emotional moment to the story and promotes understanding between cultures.
The plot revolves around a gang trying to steal a legendary canoe with special powers. The film is filled with dance numbers, songs by Stefan Raab and Michael "Bully" Herbig, and several film quotes, paying homage to Westerns based on Karl May's novels from the 1960s, "Indiana Jones," and the works of French filmmaker Louis de Funès.
At the premiere, tears were shed by Michael "Bully" Herbig during the farewell for Sky du Mont, and approximately 3,000 guests attended the event. The director expressed that much of the first film can be found in the sequel, implying a strong connection between the two movies.
With its blend of action, humour, and nostalgia, "Das Kanu des Manitu" promises to be an exciting continuation of the beloved comedy series. Don't miss out on the adventure when it hits cinemas on Thursday.
