8/10
Parodies & brief Girlie shots present!

OK, Warning: this review is not going to be very sophisticated.

Most delightfully, girl watchers can find a brief moment (at about 12:00 into the film) where of the clothing of beautiful actress Julia Dietze (circia 2012) is blown wonderfully nearly off for about 30 seconds. Petty, I know, but as an older man I'll take anything I can get (and don't have). Yes, it's pathetic. Anyway, since my streaming service eliminates the subtitles in German, that's almost all I can get from the film.

There is also an excellent parody of 'Hilter' taking off his glasses and yelling a lot. (These Parodies are somewhat common and all come from the same scene from the excellent movie "Downfall"). It was very appropriate, yet surprising to see the "Downfall" parody in this film -- this time a woman takes the 'Hitler' role -- utterly hilarious.

Brief plot synopsis is almost unique: Nazis are active on the dark side of the Moon since 1945. And one US astronaut is captured when our pathetic space attempts 'land' a craft near them. The Nazis are mining He3 (Helium3) -- supposedly a good thing. They are supercharged when they discover that a cell phone (from the astronaut) can control their 1945-era 'computer'. The cell phone's battery runs out, so they naturally fly to Earth in one of their own flying saucers to get more cell phones. More fun ensues as the President meets them, and thinks its delightful to have a war with Moon-Nazis under her belt for her re-election. Then more fun-action ensues.

Unfortunately, those looking for the beautiful Julia Dietze will be disappointed with this film's sequel; as she's made to look 15-20 years older, and sadly almost unrecognizable.

This version is definitely worth a watch for it's uniqueness!
