Almost 12 million viewers and yet the sequel was a long time coming

The Winnetou parody The Shoe of Manitu was the first original feature film in 2001, which emerged from the sketch comedy The Bully Parade. With 11.7 million viewers, it became the most successful German film after reunification one of the most successful German films ever. Michael Herbig did not initially shoot a sequel (unlike the producers of the Karl May film adaptations). That was unusual in the film industry back then, which was so obsessed with sequels and franchises.

Instead, he turned to the science fiction parody Dream Ship Surprise – Period 1, which was also a considerable success with over 9 million cinema tickets sold. Most recently, Herbig has undertaken ambitious directing work, some outside the comedy genre, namely Balloon and A Thousand Lines. He also appeared as the game director of the Amazon show LOL: Last One Laughing.
