Twenty-five years ago this weekend, the Berlin Wall came crashing down as East and West Germany came together to throw off communist rule.

With a lit-up leather jacket, Hasselhoff channeled his inner Ronald Reagan to congratulate East Berlin on its newfound freedom. He also manages to dodge a couple of firecrackers, too.
