On the user side, FILMSTARTS recorded an average rating of 3.0 from 1,908 ratings.[7](https://www.filmstarts.de/kritiken/226145/userkritiken/)**Commercially, the sequel succeeded.** After the predecessor had drawn more than 7.3 million visitors and was the most successful German film of 2013, Fack ju Göhte 2 surpassed it with over 7.6 million cinema admissions. It earned the Goldene Leinwand for three million visitors in nine days and the Bogey in Platin for five million visitors in 17 days, and finally the Goldene Leinwand mit Stern for six million visitors in 25 days.[2](https://www.wienxtra.at/fileadmin/web/cinemagic/pdf_Unterrichtsmaterial/Fackjug%C3%B6the3_Presseheft.pdf) • [6](https://www.filmstarts.de/kritiken/226145/kritik.html) At the Deutscher Filmpreis 2016 it won the Lola for the most-attended German film of the year, and at the Bayerischer Filmpreis 2016 it received the Pierrot award for best young actors.[1](https://www.filmportal.de/en/movie/fack-ju-gohte-2_)\n\n## Legacy\n\nA third film, *[Fack ju Göhte 3](https://www.edgepedia.org/fack-ju-gohte-3)* (2017), completed the trilogy.[8](https://2018.gff.palace.pipelabs.dev/sites/default/files/GFF18_programme_WEB.pdf) The character of Chantal, elevated in this sequel to a second lead role, became one of the series' most quoted figures, with her malapropisms such as \"We want piss\" and \"Vorbildness\" described by epd Film as having the potential to become classics.[4](https://www.epd-film.de/filmkritiken/fack-ju-goehte-2)\n\n## References\n\n1.
