About Die Kompanie der Knallköppe
Admiral Dagobert von Kattnig develops a rescue system for the German Navy. The mountain troops are to test the device in Upper Bavaria and Dagobert sends his son and his staff boatman there. Instead of testing the device, however, the two marvel at the cozy country life. When an inspection is due, the mountain troops are fortunately mistaken and escape the initial chaos. But when they all meet up, chaos is inevitable.
Directed by Rolf Olsen, Die Kompanie der Knallköppe leans on a strong ensemble — Ilja Richter, Eddi Arent, Hans Terofal — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1971.
