In 1992, the comedy “Manta Manta” co-produced by Bernd Eichinger thrilled German moviegoers. Hollywood and crime scene star Til Schweiger was seen in his first major role. At his side were the enchanting Tina Ruland, cult comedian Michael Kessler and, of course, a garishly painted Opel Manta B with 135 hp and a full Mattig wide body.
In addition to a lot of contemporary color, “Manta Manta” shone above all with its clearly recognizable declaration of love for the Ruhr area. Therefore, the following recommendation still applies today: definitely take a look!
