"Zwei Nasen tanken Super" is the second film from the franchises that makes gun of its two lead characters' noses and the third starring Thomas Gottschalk and Mike Krüger as best friends while they keep running into all kinds of chaos. The lead actors are the same and Dieter Prättel is back as director too, but they made a couple changes for the story. This time, there is no so much dressing up as other characters and nobody realizes who they really are. Instead, they include a real crime story with our two heroes running into a bunch of scary professional criminals from start to finish of this 92-minute movie. With this runtime, it is also roughly 10 minutes longer than the previous installments. The good thing is that this film has not gotten any worse in terms of quality compared to the previous films. But this is really only because this franchise was already fairly unfunny from the first film. So nothing changed to the positive. Despite the inclusion of more dramatic elements, this can really be only seen as 100% comedy still, and yes even despite a torture scene with the comments coming from Tommy and Mike during that scene, but it is not a funny comedy. Familiar faces include Gottschalk's wife Thea, Jürgen von der Lippe, Jochen Busse and Hans Werner Olm. And just like these, Gottschalk and Krüger have their strengths certainly in other areas than acting. Not recommended.
