Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Czech Republic

Der Wixxer is a 2004 German parody of comparable German crime films based on works by Edgar Wallace, especially the film Der Hexer (1964) – a German adaptation of The Ringer.

Background

The film is based on a radio play that Oliver Kalkofe (together with Oliver Welke) performed in the 1990s during his time as a radio host at radio ffn.

The film was shot mostly in the Czech Republic, i.e. in Hostivar studios, the Kladnice mine and around Prague.

Three actors (Grit Boettcher as a waitress, Eva Ebner as Miss Drykant and Wolfgang Völz as Sir John) who appear in this film, also appeared in some of the original Wallace films made in the 60s. Joachim Fuchsberger was approached for a role but, after hearing the title, disgustedly declined. However, after seeing the film on DVD, he agreed to appear in the sequel, Neues vom Wixxer (2007) (english title "The Vexxer").
