Trivia
Most successful German movie of all time with 14 million viewers. Another contender is Manitou's Shoe (2001) with 12 million viewers. Since records about viewer's attendance weren't kept in the GDR, the estimated number of 14 million viewers could be ambiguous. After all, Holly - The Movie (1984) had 11 million approved viewers in West Germany, making Manitou's Shoe (2001) technically more successful.

Goofs
Before Otto signs the credit contract, Shark turns over the first page of it. In the next shot (from a different angle) he turns the page over again.
