Trivia

This movie features various references to Thomas Gottschalk's career. He was an actual host at the Bavarian radio station BR and was criticized for his loose and modern way of hosting. However, due to his popularity it was allowed for him to do so.

This movie was released two years before the actual private radio stations were started in West Germany, which in 1984 were the first competitive to the public radio stations.

In Ein Schloß am Wörthersee (1990), in which Mike Krüger played a supporting character, Bob Sager, he was also playing a guy who was running a pirate radio station and was driving in his car around the Wörthersee lake (unlike Lake Starnberg, as in this movie). The radio station in the show was running the same way as in this movie, only the radio ads were made only for the bar of Bob Sager. A police inspector and his officer was trying to catch the station during the show but Sager is trying to hide with disguises.

The radio station van is actually a Chevrolet G20.

At one moment Mike says "Mein Gott, Walter" (My god, Walter) in impression about the money of Uncle Walter. This is the title of one of Mike Krüger's hits from 1975.
