Das verrückteste Auto der Welt (1975) ⭐ 4.8 | Comedy

Four wheels, four times the fun and speed? No pun intended obviously - or is it no fun intended? No of course this is fun and the fun is intended. Now I reckon the series has run (or drove?) its course ... and we do somewhat get back to square one - with a racing tournament of sorts.

You may want nun of that - but the nuns want some of it. More puns - I don't know if the movie does justice to my puns ... probably not. It might feel or be funnier than what some expect I reckon. The silly humor remains - and you have to know if that is something you can deal with or not. I did not rate any of those movies for the acting in it.

Part of that is because they are sort of dubbed - back in the day (especially in the 70s in European cinema), they shot with everyone speaking in their native language. After that they were dubbed in the country the movie was released ... so tough to rate with different voices and all that.

The ending is anything but surprising in and of itself - but it did contain language that nowadays some would call "woke" ... so even 50 years ago people could be considerate ... or maybe it was meant a bit as a joke ... no matter what, it works.
