The Vexxer is a 2007 German film comedy and the sequel to the 2004 film Der Wixxer which both parody the Edgar Wallace adaptations of the 1950s and 1960s. The subtitle "Still not based on a novel by Edgar Wallace" also testifies to this. Chief Inspector Even Longer and Inspector Very Long are once again investigating together on behalf of Scotland Yard in an already well-known case: he is once again on the loose in London; that terrible supervillain who, in his ghastly costume, has been terrifying the British capital for years. Also this time Longer and his always good-humored partner Long do not give up so easily.

At the end of the film, a sequel Triple WixXx was announced, but it was canceled in 2015.

The following weapons were used in the film The Vexxer:

Pistols

CZ 70

Unlike the Colt Python revolver in the previous film, Chief Inspector Even Longer (Oliver Kalkofe) wields a CZ 70 throughout the movie. This pistol could reference the CZ 27 used in various Edgar Wallace movies.

"I don't need this one anymore."
Even looks desperately at his pistol because he does not know where the Wixxer is hiding.

Walther PPK

Inspector Very Long (Bastian Pastewka) remains faithful to his Walther PPK which this time he uses more often.

The Wixxer catched Very's pistol with his whip in an Indiana Jones-style move.

FN Model 1922

An FN Model 1922 is held by Lord David Dickham (Joachim Fuchsberger) at the film's climax which is most likely a homage to the FN Model 1900 he used in The Devil's Daffodil or its appearance in Face of the Frog, the first German adaptation of the Rialto Film series. Joachim Fuchsberger is one of four actors who have already starred in Edgar Wallace films. The other ones are Ingrid van Bergen, Chris Howland, and Wolfgang Völz.

FN Model 1922 - .380 ACP

"You have an amazing power of observation."

While both angles offer only minor details of the pistol, it is slightly better seen on the movie poster (or on a promotional picture).

The promotional picture of Lord David Dickham (Joachim Fuchsberger) holding the FN Model 1922, which lacks its front sight. The filmmakers had already wanted to hire him for Der Wixxer, but he had indignantly refused when he heard the title. However, after Kalkofe and Pastewka sent him a DVD of the film, he watched it, was thrilled by it, and agreed to a role in the sequel.

FIE Titan

What appears to be an FIE Titan pocket pistol is used by Victoria Dickham (Christiane Paul).
