Jerry Cotton

This 2010 comedy is a parody of crime movies such as Bond films, centered in the FBI. Think Johnny English.

The most famous faces we see may be Christian Tramitz, Christiane Paul, Moritz Bleibtreu, Heino Ferch, and Herbert Knaup. But other popular actors also join in the fun. Jürgen Tarrach is known from world films such as The Reader, Casino Royale, and even played a bit role in 7 Zwerge: Der Wald ist nicht genug. Manou Lubowski can be found in Hot Dog, Buddy, and had a long term recurring role in Verbotene Liebe.

There are racist jokes from the beginning scene, which comes back later in the film, and a strip tease (no nudity) only 15 minutes in. Two agents meet in an X rated theater 36 minutes in. The image is blurred, but the sounds are clear. It probably stays within the PG-13 constraints, but I personally wouldn’t play this film in class because it lacks educational value while still having some of these questionable moments.
