2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
elshikh4 It's like a pulp novel; cheap, short, and droll. I loved the simple plot, the non-stop comic situations, the funny fistfights, and the beautiful girl in the black bikini, rather the idea of 2 beautiful girls wearing bikinis at home !The English dubbed version was close to perfect. Originally, I didn't know that the 2 lead actors were dubbed unless I visited IMDb after watching the movie !However, 2 factors stand alone. Firstly, the scene in the stadium which looked big and distinct. And secondly, Mr. Bud Spencer. That guy can steal the camera by just raising an eyebrow or smiling wrathfully. Without saying anything he owns the scene. This is a gift a few actors have. Actually this round he left nothing to his fellow Terence Hill. As for the "I hated" category. There was some clear artistic poorness. I impute that to the lazy direction and the nearly destitute production. For instance, look at the first scenes in the wharf; all of Spencer's fights, Hill's fights, and else are shot from the same angle, by one camera, and in more or less the same place ! Add to that how the movie lacks any explosion, any car chase, and any satisfying climax (that final fistfight is truly disappointing and leaves you hungry for more !). I deemed the matter of running into 2 crutches in the bar so forced. The writing there was too sluggish to tighten the next situation (of punks fighting the leads as handicapped) in less fabricated way. In terms of badness, or in fact poorness, I hated Hated HATED the music score. This movie had only one piece of music, used it sickeningly time after time after time after time, pushing you to scream even after the movie ended where it would haunt you insistently !All in all, this is a Bud Spencer movie. He ate up everyone and everything in it. This proves that having him alone guarantees being damn watchable. Sorry Hill, nothing personal !
Shaolin_Apu The absolutely best thing in this film is that it does not ask you much to enjoy it. Only excuse you have to make is that it contains unrealistic fist fighting and the film is therefore pretty violent though nobody gets hurt. It's like grown up men pretending to be again ten year old boys.The film does not contain dull moments: Bud Spencer never smiles nor frowns even if the baddies punch him and Terence Hill has always that trademark boyish grim on his face. Quite unrealistic is that the heroes "accidentally" join police force and beat the bad guys with ridiculous tricks, but you can't consider anything too critically as you'd only lose the true essence of this hilarious comedy. If you have never before watched Spencer & Hill films this is a good one to start with.
Mark-371 This movie has to be one of the best slap-stick comedies EVER made!Heres the plot: Two guys named Matt Kirby ( Terence Hill ) and Wilbur Walsh( Bud Spencer )are sick of having no work which means no money so they decide to rob a super market. When they are ready they go around the back of the building, jump in, and its a police recruitment office...not good! So they become cops. They hate being police so they decide to really mess thing up, like arresting the Leiutenant Govenor, but they are still with the police because the Captain of police( David Huddleston ) likes Matt and Wilbur, every time they "MESS UP" they help solve a case or prevent robberies and fights!My favorite scene is when Bud Spencer destroys some guys car and then says "Have a nice day!" Excellent, 8/10If you liked this movie, i suggest " Watch Out were Mad" and "They call me Trinity"
M-13 Just go watch that movie. It has the best opening scene a movie ever had. It is funny, it is entertaining, it is full of action... It is BUD SPENCER and TERENCE HILL !!!
