I did not know how many films were made prior to this (based on Karl Mays novels), but another reviewer seems to be on top of that. And while I haven't seen them all (or rather rewatched, because I loved them as a kid), I can say that it is an endearing and lovely series of films that were made. And that can only be a testament of the novels they were based on - which obviously I haven't read - shame on me.
It is nice to see the usual suspect reprise their leading roles, but also have some other known German (and other European) actors being added here. I just realize that I never talked about the "native American" language that they use in these movies ... I have no idea on what that is based on ... but it does not sound as if they are mocking the people speaking them. Generally speaking you can feel that there is love for the native Americans. It is nice to see a morally "right" view on things ... or at least a not one sided "white man" approach and outlook on them.
