Dreamship Surprise - Period 1
Space in the year 2304: in a UFO that crash-landed in the Nevada
desert 300 years ago, mankind found the scientific guidelines which
were used to colonize Mars half a century later. Now the
descendants of the first colonists are on their way back to Earth.
Led by their unbelievably wicked Regulator Rogul and his
unbelievably even more wicked disciple Jens Maul, they are up to no
good. In fact, the Martians are planning to subjugate the blue
planet to the red one. With a huge array of spaceships, a conquest
of Earth seems imminent. And only the crazy crew of Dreamship
Surprise can help: Captain Kork, engineer Shrotty and first
officer Mr. Spuck. But instead of fighting intergalactic crime,
they´re busy with their choreography for the upcoming "Miss Waikiki
Pageant". With the help of the space cowboy and taxi-pilot Rock,
they set out to save the earth from invasion...
After his hit comedy ´Manitou´s Shoe´ Michael ´Bully´ Herbig has
brocken records with his newest feature ´Dreamschip Surprise -
Periode 1´ also starring internationally well known Til Schweiger,
recently seen in ´King Arthur´ and ´Lara Croft and the Cradle of
