I saw this at the cinema in Germany, when I was a student there, then spent several years trying to find it on video. I love it.
***MINOR SPOILERS***
It is 2 stories in 1.
First the animation. Werner is a North German plumber whose only real interests are motorcycles and beer. He hates the police, authority and TUV (vehicle testing department). Here we get to see Werner: commentating on a football match in a marketplace, where the shoppers are the players (only they don't know it!), being bed-bathed by fat nurses and also Werner's boss flushing his own head down a blocked toilet!!! 9/10
Then the live action. Total and utter waste of time, fast forward through it, fetch a drink, do not even bother opening your eyes for it. 0/10 (it really is that bad and unfunny)
Even if you skip through the live action, there is still over an hour of animation.
A word of caution, the accent is very strong (from Kiel in the North, near to Denmark) I have a degree in German, and there are a few lines that have defied my best efforts for years!!
There are now 4 sequels (which are all animation)
