Ebbies Bluff is a German feature film from 1993. Til Schweiger achieved his first notable success with the comedy. Despite the prominent cast and the prominent staff, the film remained commercially unsuccessful and received consistently bad to miserable reviews.

action

The amateur boxer Rudy is at the end of his career as a boxer and struggles with the delivery of chicken eggs . On the advice of his manager and friend Ebbie, he joins the music business as a singer and guitarist, although Rudy is basically lacking in talent. Nevertheless, Ebbie manages to get his boxer into a record deal through his old friend Bambi. The first record is a total flop and Ebbie's creditor Schmidtmeyer is pushing for repayment. A happy turn resolves the crisis situation. But Rudy - counted out in the ring - only dreamed of all this.

Reviews

"A story set in the demi-world environment with some satirical tips against the music industry, but ultimately too diffuse to arouse sustained interest."
