In 1968, during the trial against a member of the German student movement, he managed to take a dump on the judge's table. This action earned him the love & respect of his peer group, while students who were seriously into politics felt dumped on, too - and quite rightly so.
This is basically the spirit you can expect from "Terror 2000". Lots of fecal matter, people invocating their archaic god all the time ("Scheixxx, scheixxx, scheixxx!"). There are completely hysterical sex & violence scenes. People acting like children having a temper tantrum. This movie is loud, shrill and - in the worst sense imaginable - "anarchistic". You should't expect anything else, except long boring filler periods.
Christoph Schlingensief was the epitome of political correctness, wearing the mask of the ultimate riot clown. That's why the German media loved him. They always worship those crazy guys who are thinking totally out of the box - while keeping strictly to the rules that really matter. "Terror 2000" is ripe with tired old clichés approved with the PC-stamp "critical thinking", featuring first and foremost of course the obligatory "Nazi"-obsession.
Its basically just a practical joke by and for adolescents that will embarrass them once they've finally grown up. A lot. ("Bad German Movies"-Review No. 14)
Plot summary
Germany, right after the re-unification. The people are out of control, blind hatred towards immigrants is common sense. In this time, a social-worker, with the mission to bring a Polish family to their destination (an immigration camp in a little provincial town called Rassau),gets kidnapped just as the family. Chief inspector Koern and his girl-friend start to investigate in this matter in Rassau, exploring a world of obsessive sex, mislead lust and an over-whelming irrational love to the German nation, infiltrating anyone's mind. Rascism doesn't start with shaved hair and boots but rather in the middle of society itself... origins unknown??

Political correctness going wild
Cult Classic written all over it!!
This politically-incorrect saga meshes sex, violence and humor in its tale of a husband-and-wife detective team sent to a German refugee camp to find a Polish family and a social worker. During the search, the sleuths are kidnapped by neo-Nazis, and it's soon learned that their interests are as strange as the people around them. Udo Kier never been better playing a gun toting Priest, who loves putting his gun in his mouth and others. Gore and violence are just over the top in this German cult classic.
disturbing, annoying, excellent!
Schlingensief, love him or hate him. I love him. He's something like the skin cancer on a body named society. So are his films.
Terror 2000 is this kind of film where you haven't the chance to relax, because you are confronted the whole time with loudness, chaos, violence, sex, dirty language and Nazis! But in such a grotesque, humoristic way that you can't do something other than look and laugh! See Udo Kier as maniac preacher, see Schlingensief himself as a gay Nazi, see all the other strange characters and be inspired!
Schlingensiefs real intentions what he wants to tell us by this film I can't interpretate, because it's always difficult to understand him. I think like in most cases of his work it's only a story about the weirdness of our society. That's it.
(Christoph, if you read this, please take me for your next film project, I would be for example a fantastic Hitler parody!)
It's clearly 9 points, because this film is highly entertaining, and that's what a film has to do in my opinion!
