DocShaggles Helge Schneider as Doc Snyder is an accomplished villain who tyrannizes Texas in a funny way. He frees his brother from jail or tries to get back his laundry bag. Always well dressed and hilarious Schneider creates a brilliant Wild West Movie. A special varying note is giving the movie by guest-appearances from Ludger Pistor, Charlie Weiss and Gerd Lohmeyer. The secret hero of Texas for me is Helmut Körschgen performing as Lt. Körschgen. He introduces 00 Schneider, Schneiders main character of the following movie. "Texas,Doc Snyder hält die Welt in Atem" Comedy as its best. Doc Shaggles

bravomike-1 This movie is great, and it becomes greater with every time you watch it. I watched it 20 times (or more) and still discover new jokes. If you, for example, watch the scene in which Doc Snyder talks to God about Texas (handmade by God) and then causes the earthquake to kill the inhabitants of Texas (God:"Wat' machste?" Doc Snyder: "Erdbeben"). It is one of the best scenes of a movie that only has scenes other great movies have one or two of. Watch the movie, and watch it often! Some of the other comments say, if you don't like the first 20 minutes, quit. This could by right, if you are not a fan you'll hate it. But if you never watch it you can't know whether you are a fan or not. And if you are a fan, you will! watch the movie 20 times. By the way: Other Helge Schneider movies: "00-Schneider-Jagd auf Nihil Baxter"; "Praxis Dr. Hasenbein"; "Jazzclub"

ralphwiggum This is one of the funniest movies i have ever seen. Helge Schneider is surely the funniest German alive, and beside that a very talented jazz musician. But many people - as you can see in some of the other comments - do not share this opinion, because they feel that Texas is a complete mess, weird, ridicilous, silly and because they had no idea when to laugh and why. And they are completely right. This makes Monty Pythons Holy Grail look like a densely plotted, conventionel costume drama. Amazingly, Helge went on to direct and star during the following years in several much more wild, more dadaesque, yes more schneideresque movies than Texas, which was his biggest hit in Germany so far. You can enjoy all his work if you - don't try to analyze, don't search for a deeper meaning -if you love the absurd - and only if you are a native german speaker, i am sorry. Helge's art uses new words, misplaced words and sentences, new combinations of words, old words with new meanings etc., laconic slapstick and a downright funny appearance. So i am kind of a fan. And don't trust any comment that starts with:"Fans love it, anyone with brains hate it..."

Alexx-3 This movie is really one of the best I´ve ever seen. Some people don´t like this movie only because it´s not like the standard Hollywood stuff... I don´t know if there´s a translation into English (I hardly believe it) but I can only recommend it!
