comment
Plan B: Scheiß auf Plan A is 2016 German martial arts action comedy, directed by Ufuk Genc and Michael Popescu, and starring Can Aydin, Cha-Lee Yoon, Phong Giang and Eugene Boateng.Can, Phong, Cha and U-Gin are best friends and at the same time the most unsuccessful action star wannabes this side of Hollywood. But when they unexpectedly get a casting call falling on their laps, it becomes the very last chance to finally show what they are really capable off.The only problem is that their agent U-Gin reversed the address, so that instead of walking into a movie set of their dreams they run into a troupe of tough gangsters who take Phong hostage and send the others on a relentless treasure hunt in order to free their friend, entangling them in a complex conspiracy to dethrone the kingpin of Berlin's underworld.

Wrongful Accusation Insurance: When the cops finally catch up with Can, Cha and U-Gin, they specifically inform the guys that in the course of the day they've committed 24 counts of assault, vehicular theft and didn’t pay for the champagne at the strip club. However, Kopp later lets them go and doesn't charge them for any of these crimes.

It Began with a Twist of Fate: The only reason the protagonists get involved with a power dispute among the Berlin criminal underworld is because one of them writes down the number in a an address as 96 instead of 69.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Gabriel decides that the best way to deal with the guys raiding the places where the clues are hidden is to tip off the police. This ends up being his undoing as it tips off Kopp about what is going on and allows him to be present for the final confrontation and kill Gabriel.

Shout-Out
 Plan B: Scheiß auf Plan A / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The movie is a love letter to The '80s, and features several references to action movies from that decade, as well as others: For the audition, the guys all dress like movie characters: Can as "Cobra" Cobretti, Phong as Marty McFly, Cha's jacket is modeled on Bruce Lee's iconic yellow track suit, and U-Gin’s outfit resembles Michael Jackson’s getup from Thriller. One of the chapters in the film is titled Big Trouble in Little Istambul. As part of their search, the guys have to go to a cemetery and visit the grave of one Frederic Krueger. Can often repeats the mantra Live for nothing or die for something. Detective Robert Kopp is nicknamed by the other policemen as RoboCop. And who can blame them?

Wacky Wayside Tribe: While looking for the coordinates in the cemetery, U-Gin is abducted by a cult of some sort and Can and Cha have to fight them to free him. Cha in particular has to fight the cult leader. But said cult has nothing whatsoever to do with the main story and they’re never referenced afterwards.
