Story of the movie
The sinister Berator , ruler of the planet Karloff (a reference to the actor Boris Karloff ), is dissatisfied with his current realm and wishes to conquer the planet Lugosi (another reference to Bela Lugosi ) instead . To do this, he needs energy that he intends to gain from the core of planet Earth . He sends out his four henchmen , the League of Injustice : Dr. Darm, Rex Guilty (another nod, this time to Rex Gildo ), Gordon Rogers (referring to science fiction heroes Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers ) and Dr. Oektar (the name of Dr. Oetker is parodied). Your mission is to suck up the earth's core, then destroy the earth and return to Karloff.
However, the Lugosians learned of the Berator's plans ahead of time and sent a space probe to Earth. The hapless kitchenware representative Dieter Parker (alluding to Spider-Man Peter Parker) found this probe in Niehorst , in the rural area around Gütersloh . It is revealed to him that he - and only he - can undo the Berator's plan. Parker is endowed with super powers and is henceforth Captain Cosmotic . He immediately begins his new job as a fighter for good by thwarting a gas station robbery.
Meanwhile, the League of Injustice has already arrived on earth and is beginning to prepare to vacuum the Earth's core. There they meet Dietlind Abate-Fetel (the last name is the name for a pear variety, Abate Fetel ), who is brutally suppressed by her husband and who is also unhappily in love with Dieter. Due to a mistake by the aliens, Dietlind is endowed with superpowers and a little later turns into the superhero Powerbitch .
Together, Captain Cosmotic and Powerbitch succeed, despite numerous adversities and unpleasant obstacles, to render the villains harmless and to destroy the Berator's planet.
meaning
Captain Cosmotic is a film that was made under extraordinary circumstances. For example, the total budget was only DM 1,828 , the shooting dragged on from September 1995 to October 1997, and if a meadow was not the location of the film, the attic of Gosejohann's house had to symbolize the Berator's throne room or a lot The interior of a spaceship is lined with silver foil in the basement . Numerous props were also created through misuse; the futuristic glasses of the Rex Guilty, for example, consist of two tea strainers. Because of these factors alone, Captain Cosmotic is clearly a trash film ; the bizarre plot, improvised and sometimes absurd dialogues, strange costumes and the occasional dubious acting performance of the actors reinforce this effect. However, this effect was also sought: The film is a combined parody of various film genres and does not take itself seriously at any point.
Captain Cosmotic has been shown several times in cinemas . The premiere took place on November 6, 1998 in the Bambi in Gütersloh. The film has also been in the TV shown: In the spring of 2000 was Captain Cosmotic of VIVA two first as a 26-part series , then on 25. December 2001 sent completely in the evening program. The film is available on VHS and in two DVD versions as a single and double DVD ("Powerbitch Edition"). The double DVD contains additional short films by the Gosejohann brothers.
