Interesting facts
Wie die Karnickel is a comedy film by Sven Unterwaldt from 2002, with a script by Ralf König, who also wrote a comic based on the script.
Background
Ralf König wanted to put heterosexual relationships to the forefront for the first time with this film, after his preceding works always centered on homosexuality in German society. His own perspective on heterosexual relationships, as a homosexual, is shown through the character of Siggi.
This story, as opposed to all other films by König, was first written as a script, and then published as a comic.
As the film managed to cast one of the most famous German porn stars of the 90's in Kelly Trump, her name was used instead of the name in the script. For the comic the original name was kept.
