'''DieWildenKerle''' (lit: "the wild guys") are a German movie series (based on the children's book series ''Literature/DieWildenFussballKerle'', which became ''Literature/TheWildSoccerBunch'' in the CulturalTranslation in America) from TheNoughties about a team of boys ([[AndZoidberg and Vanessa]]) who like to play football (soccer, for Americans).
There are no less than five movies about them:
# "Alles ist gut, solange du wild bist!": The team has a problem: A bunch of [[TheBully older bullies]], lead by "fat Micky", have occupied the place where they use to play football. A match (naturally) shall decide who gets the right for the place. Fortunately, former football pro Willi is there to train the boys.
# They need money for an upgrade of their sports field for a match vs. the national team, and Vanessa has fallen in love with the cool skater boy Gonzo and is missing for an important match.
# "Die Attacke der Biestigen Biester": The bunch is challenged for the title of "wildest team in the world" - by an all-girls team, of all things.
# "Der Angriff der Silberlichten": The team has to do a freestyle soccer contest against the "wolves of Ragnarök". [[HalfwayPlotSwitch Then,]] the "Silberlichten" team lead by the girl Horizon appears. And she tries to seduce the boys...
# "Hinter dem Horizont": After Leon has disappeared, the team looks for him and crosses the borders of reality, it seems. They discover a castle inhabited by vampires, who challenge them to a "Soccer 3D" match.
Especially the later movies weren't exactly liked by the critics, but they still were commercially successful.
