This is "Ein Käfer gibt Vollgas", the second film from the West German German-language Käfer film series, about a very special brand of car. The writer and director is Rudolf Zehetgruber again and he also acts like he does in the first film. The runtime is also similar at approximately 90 minutes. But there are differences too, for example the first film was a whole lot about the rally aspect and this one here focuses on different Käfer-themed action. I would not say it is worse than the first, which is usually a compliment for a sequel, but the problem here is that the first was already pretty bad. Zehetgruber got Blacky Fuchsberger in here to play the main character, which is certainly a main reason why audiences watched this sequel and probably also why it has more reviews here on IMDb than the first. But Fuchsberger alone cannot make this a good film. I found it very absurd, very over-the-top again many times, but sadly not very interesting. Not at all. Then again, I have absolutely zero interest in cars, so my lack of interest can be explained this way perhaps. Other than that, I still believe that the writing that had nothing to do with cars was also far from convincing. Thumbs down. Watch something else instead.
