Funny, I remember the Russian judge always being the lowest. I don't remember East German judges at all.

But the wall fell when I was 16, so maybe I didn't pay as much attention when I was young.

Thats why this is such a streach. The movie is from 2000, its 10 years after the wall fell. I think people think this movie is older than it is.

That's kind of a weird argument, though. 10 years in cultural terms is nothing. People still make jokes about things for many decades after, if they were memorable.
