Similar scenes from American History X that are used in this movie.


When I've talked about both "Romper Stomper" and "American History X", I've mentioned that "AHX" took,used,and re-created about maybe three scenes from "Romper Stomper." Since I've seen "Fuhrer Ex" twice, there's about three scenes that were taken, used, and recreated from "AHX." Those scenes between both movies are as follows, in "AHX" the scene where Derek get's raped by the Aryan Brotherhood in the shower which is the second to the last thing that causes him to sever ties with his Neo-Nazi lifestyle. That similar scene in "Fuhrer Ex" is when Heiko get's raped by Hagen in the shower but this causes Heiko to join Friedhelm and his Neo-Nazi group in the prison they're serving time in. Both scenes end when Derek and Hagen are lying on the ground face down and naked, except Hagen gets a severe beating by Tommy(Heiko's best friend),Friedhelm, and the Neo-Nazi's after Heiko's rape. The second similar scene between both movies is in "AHX" when Derek and the Skinheads of the D.O.C. ambush and vandalize the former White but currently Asian owned super market that had employed illegal Mexican/Hispanic immigrants. In "Fuhrer Ex", the similar scene is when Heiko, Tommy and the Skinheads of the DNP attack the abandoned warehouse that was a hideout for a group of Punks. This attack was out of retaliation after a Skinhead was attacked by this group of Punks, but it also resulted in the death of Margit, a young girl who was a friend and neighbor of both Heiko and Tommy. And even both movies end the same way. In "AHX", Derek feels like he caused Danny's death because of his involvement in the Neo-Nazi movement and Danny following in his footsteps. In "Fuhrer Ex", it's when Heiko cries out on the rooftop of his and Tommy's old apartment complex after Tommy dies from the severe beating he receives from the Skinheads of the DNP for which Heiko feels responsible for Tommy's death. And another difference/similarity between both movies is that Derek gives up on the Neo-Nazi lifestyle before and after his release from prison while Heiko ends up embracing the Neo-Nazi lifestyle before and after his release from prison. And just like Cameron who was the actual leader of the D.O.C. and had used Derek and the other young skinheads to carry out his "dirty work", it was pretty much the same thing with Friedhelm in which he was using Heiko and the Skinheads of the DNP to carry out his "dirty work" as well. Whether it's American History X, Romper Stomper, Higher Learning, White Lies, and even Fuhrer Ex, they all have similarities and differences in each movie, respectively.
