I was pretty surprised when watching this movie here than I ended up liking it more than the first two "Erkan & Stefan" films. A big reason for this is Ludger Pistor who is fun to watch as always, even if his character is dead for over half of the film. This third and final entry runs longer than the previous two, actually the only one that crosses the 90-minute mark and takes place completely on a yacht, apart from the first couple minutes. Also there are two title out there for it in German. The translations would be roughly "Death comes crass" or "Fat thank you for the corpse". It was released 10 years ago, 5 years after the first movie and I wonder if there will ever be a fourth film. Probably not. But this way, with the final scene, it actually looks as if our two heroes drowned and they cannot close it on such a note right? Apart from Pistor, there are some other famous German actors in here, such as Andrea Sawatzki and Christoph Maria Herbst in a cameo. And the love interests this time are played by Arzu Bazman and Julia Dietze and man these two looked sexy in their uniforms here. Nothing short of Neldel or Zimmermann from the previous films. i never thought Neldel was that hot anyway.
The script comes from the two main actors themselves and they got help by one of the producers from the last Erkan & Stefan film. It was the first writing credit for him. The film's director is pretty prolific, but not too known. He also made the Kaya Yanar comedy film from a couple years ago and he also has a very small cameo in here, his only acting credit. As I said already, I quite enjoyed this film. There were some sequences when they just went for stupid farting humor and how a male genital reacts to cold temperatures, but as a whole this was a wonderfully over-the-top movie which parodied all kinds of things and, most importantly, never took itself seriously. There is no real connection to films 1 and 2 (check out my reviews for these two as well), so it's absolutely not necessary to watch them in chronological order. That is why I recommend watching this film first and then, if you liked it, go for the other two as this is superior in my opinion. "Erkan & Stefan 3" is indeed a fat dog. Recommended.
