In the German version, Abahachi, Ranger and Winnetouch all speak with a light Bavarian accent that is predominant in the Bullyparade-Show, which is mentioned by the barkeeper at the saloon by "You must be Ranger, the man with the Southern States slang". Many scenes have been shot in Almería, Spain, at the same places that can be seen in many movies of Sergio Leone. Most of the Indians in the movie are actually Spanish. The Shoshone chief is played by an East Indian, for humorous effect, and his two advisors are Native Americans. According to Herbig's comments, some Spanish can be heard on the DVD, and he was never entirely

This way, Der Schuh des Manitu uses components from different genres, as the Rhein-Zeitung noted as well on July 16, 2001: In Karl May's short appearance he presents his book “Treasure of Silver Lake”, that also features a ride on a draisine. When Santa Maria dies in a mud trap, Winnetouch quotes Wilhelm Busch's children's classic Max and Moritz. In the end the Shoshone appear at the “Manitou's Shoe” and sing a song to the melody the soldiers in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket sing while marching. In the last scene of the movie the narrator mentions Uschi and Ranger's child being called Stan Laurel.

Content:  “Der Schuh des Manitu” parodies a series of wild west adventure novels of the 19th century German author Karl May. The main topic of these novels is the deep friendship of a fictional Mescalero Apache chief (Winnetou) and his German companion and blood-brother, (Old Shatterhand), who are both exemplary virtuous and stand together to keep the peace between Indians and immigrating White settlers. Der Schuh des Manitu spoofs the friendship motif in the Winnetou novels and in their 1960s film adaptations which has largely led to high, but sometimes idealised and cliché ridden admiration of Native Americans in Germany. Many shots of the original Winnetou movies feature Old Shatterhand and Winnetou riding side by side, accompanied by romantic orchestral

Content:  The movie was shot in early summer of 2000 in the desert in southern Spain, as well as the Arri-Studios in Munich. Bully Herbig explained "the biggest compromise would have been [former] Yugoslavia, but that wasn't 'Western' to me. I would have loved to shoot in America. I searched literally everywhere, South Africa, Australia, Morocco until we landed on the holy ground of Sergio Leone. I flew in, looked at it and said - this is it, 100 percent." Consequently, the majority of the movie was shot in Almería in southern Spain. The filming ended on June 19, 2000.

Diana Herold, a photo model and regular extra performer on Herbig's show Bullyparade, performs a cameo role as a blonde squaw. The role of Abahachi's and Winnetouch's mother was performed by German comedian Anke Engelke in the film's Extra Large version; and French actor Pierre Brice (in his role as Winnetou) is humorously referred to as their father. The "guest" appearance by Winnetou author Karl May was performed by Alexander Held. Michael Herbig's following movie, the science fiction parody Traumschiff Surprise – Periode 1, features a prequel scene to Der Schuh des Manitou due to time travel.

Content:  The movie Der Schuh des Manitu, also directed by Herbig and written by the trio, a parody on western movies, Italo Western in general, and the successful 1960s and 1970s movie adaptations of the Winnetou books by Karl May, was released in 2002. It's based on the show's successful Winnetou-Sketches, featuring all three comedians in various characters. The movie became one of Germany's highest crossing films of all time. In 2004, Michael Herbig produced a second film, (T)Raumschiff Surprise - Periode 1, which was also based on sketches parodying sci-fi shows like Star Trek and also had great success. Some characters and sides from the first movie are revisited, or shown from a different perspective. The movie also depicts elements from

Content:  The film borrows from the parodies of Mel Brooks like Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Blazing Saddles, and Dracula: Dead and Loving It. Its humor consists largely of blatant anachronisms, scenes such as the character Ranger getting stopped by a sheriff for "fast riding" and being asked for his "riding license", or Santa Maria connecting the dots on a map by using a feather with a marker-tip. Greek character Dimitri owns a mule named Apollo 13 (his twelve brothers—and subsequently, he as well—were killed by speeding trains), and for lack of a hatchet the Shoshones, a Native American tribe, dig out a folding-chair as a replacement. The film has several references to the Karl May films of the 1960s and to Herbig's own

Content:  The "Lexikon des Internationalen Films" (Encyclopedia of international Movies) called the movie a “parody in proper style that bases itself on the Karl May movies of the 60s even to the smallest technical details and presents itself as a completely mindless revue without fear of using trivialities and dirty jokes in order to entertain in a superficial and silly way. The mechanics of old cinema cliches are only being exposed in order to spread the new cliches of the current comedy culture." The movie generally earns praise for how accurately it implements stylistic elements of the Karl May adaptations and spaghetti westerns. The specific jokes however, are often characterized as silliness of only mediocre quality. The acting performances are rated rather lowly apart from very few exceptions. According to Spiegel Online, Herbig seems “to have

One of the film's running gags is Abahachi, riding ladie's style and holding a parasol, constantly admonishing his horse Shá:ckèlinè (= Jaqueline) not to move too fast for "otherwise she would be having to puke again". The movie makes further references to spaghetti western by Sergio Leone, Dances With Wolves by Kevin Costner, the mining cart ride from the second Indiana Jones movie by Steven Spielberg as well as different scenes from Terminator 2. Additionally, the theme playing before The Shoe of the movie first appears is reminiscent of the Indiana Jones movies. On the zither, Winnetouch plays the Harry Lime Theme from the movie The Third Man, when he, Abahachi and Ranger are
