"Zärtliche Chaoten II" is a German 90-minute movie from almost 30 years ago and this one came out only a year after the first film. No more sequels should follow and that was a good thing I guess. It is somewhat known that Thomas Gottschalk is not the greatest actor, but compared to his writing his acting is very tolerable. This is just not an interesting story and the jokes are not particularly funny either for the most part. Apart from Gottschalk, Helmut Fischer and Michael Winslow ("Police Academy") also returned for this second movie. Cameos include a couple familiar faces such as David Hasselhoff and Jochen Busse. The female lead is played by Deborah Shelton from "Dallas" this time. So, there is once again a romance plot in here too, just like in basically all other Thomas Gottschalk films from the 1980s, regardless of Mike Krüger being on board or not (like in this one here). The one crucial difference compared to the original film is probably that Gottschalk is the guy who gets the girl this time and in the first film, all 3 got her basically. So it becomes obvious who the star is in here. Unfortunately, not even Gottschalk's charisma and recognition value can save his bad script here. This one is even weaker than the already disappointing first film and probably should never have been made. Thumbs down.
