This wild guys sequel is just as much nonsense as the first film and the three next movies. A prime example of what a movie should not be. Rufus Beck and Cornelia Froboess did good in not returning and I wonder what the German Film Academy was thinking when they nominated this piece of crap for Best Children's film a second time??? It came out 1.5 years after the first and the only known cast member really is Uwe Ochsenknecht who is probably only in it because his kids are. The director and writer is Joachim Masannek again and his sons are back as are most of the other child actors.
i have to say Uwe Ochsenknecht has a scene here and there where he put a smile on my lips, but his sons are just useless in terms of acting and would never have a career without their established father pulling the right strings. Here the enemy is a pale vampire guy (long before the Twilight hype) who looks like a young retarded Jack Sparrow and that the female main character is interested in. Of course, she is. In the end an evil witch is brought to life and she may have been the biggest wtf-moment in the entire series. The way she is depicted is plain horrible and it was so random as nothing before indicted any kind of supernatural characters in these films. Cringeworthy beyond belief. As is the music. Bananafishbones suck so much here and in the other films. Especially their closing credit songs are rubbish. The idea of making and using songs that depict the mood of the characters is a good one, but the execution was a complete mess. The same can be said for pretty much all other aspects of these films, especially the whole rambling about being wild. The plot deals with finding out who your real friends are, but the whole script is not worth the paper it was written on. And why is the smaller Ochsenknecht son suddenly the love interest of Gries' character? In the first film, it was still somebody else who randomly disappeared. Do yourself a favor and stay away. Oh wait, the best thing about this film? It's the shortest of the five, does not even run for 80 minutes (not counting the credits), so the torture ends soon.
