Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Jede Menge Kohle (1981)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Twelve days of Jede Menge Kohle were shot underground, where the crew had to use a spring-wound camera from the 1930s because at a depth of 840 metres on the ninth level of the Zeche Gneisenau no electrical device was allowed for fear of explosion.
- Jede Menge Kohle was the first German film shot in Dolby Stereo, though not the first in the world as is often claimed: Star Wars had already used Dolby Stereo in 1977.
- The pub scene in which Katlewski orders a Pils and a cold cutlet was shot at the Pilskrone in Dortmund's Kreuzviertel, and its landlord, the former ice hockey player Manfred "Benno" Wendland (1942–2016), appears in that scene as the Tortenvernichter.
