This film has everything. You got your psychopath Nazis, gun fights, bar fights, knife fights, shooting people in a ditch, Nazi drag queens beating up musicians, starving people, people getting stomped, all packaged up in a historical comedy murder drama. It's like the Cohen Brothers and Mel Brooks collaborated to make the perfect movie.
My only gripe was the actors speak in what I suspect is some kind of film school experimental language to make the movie more avant-garde. As with many foreign language situations, I couldn't understand a word of the dialogue, even when I turned up the volume to 11. Fortunately the action unfolds in such a manner that you don't need to understand gibberish to follow the plot.
Basically, a young soldier finds the uniform and the car of an Air Force Captain. Apparently the captain isn't using his car or uniform, and the young soldier puts on the uniform, drives away in the Captain's car and from that point forward passes himself off as a Captain and Adolph Hitler's personal representative.
As he goes from town to town, highjinks, murder and mayhem ensue as Captain Willi Harold exterminates prison camp inmates and terrorizes villagers, pretending all the while to be on a secret mission.
I hope they make a sequel and call it Captain Willi Two: Electric Booguloo.
