Amusement
and entertainment with Spencer as a tough cop against a pilferer
amusingly played by Tomas Milian who uses to seduce older women and
steals their jewelry ; however , being witness a murder and then he is
pursued by Mafia . Entertaining and funny Italian film with the bouncing
Spencer or Carlo Perdesoli as a detective from Miami Police Department .
Set in modern-day Miami , a cop named Alan Parker ultimately is going
on Holiday with all his family , wife and five sons . But his vacation
flies away at the last moment and he has to cancel the scheme to
re-capture a cocky thief named Tony Roma (Tomas Milian) . Parker is
close to sort a case out when Tony is witness of a killing ordered by a
Mafia boss (Mark Lawrence , an American secondary who used to play
gangsters from the 40s) . There happens several adventures , car
pursuits , shootouts and Alan Parker protects Tony from Mafia and they
flee in a cattle wagon but his family is kidnapped . Fun comedy set on
Miami , it's a vehicle for Bud Spencer enthusiasts , dealing with chases
, leaps-and-bounds cars , mobsters ,kidnappings , and an obstinate
policeman against all . Spencer takes on lots of greed men who are
interested in killing his witness , facing off risks , and several
adventures.
Can Parker protect a jewel thief?
How much for anal?
This is an engaging entertaining juvenile for Bud
Spencer buffs , as he's delightful . It packs action, fist-play ,
slapdash, humor with tongue-and-cheek and is quite amusing . This
entertaining , sympathetic movie is crammed of fist-fights, punches ,
kicks, knocks-outs , overwhelming stunt-work and lots of humor . This
bemusing picture is starred by the Cuban Tomas Milian , as usual, he
puts faces , grimaces, crying and overacting , but plays splendidly ,
here as a roguish named Tony Roma , a bad copy of a Latin lover . He
starred the Sergio Sollima's famous trilogy , Spaghetti Western with a
notorious character called ¨Cuchillo¨ and formed by ¨Big gundown¨, ¨Face
to face¨ and ¨Run Cuchillo run¨ . Bud Spencer is top-notch as one army
man taking on a group of bandits and as always he makes his own stunts
with comic touches , as usual . It relies heavily on the agreeable
relationship between grumpy ,two-fisted cop , Bud Spencer , and the
rogue swindler , Tomas Milian . This release has some cool and several
hilarious moments , though the Terence Hill-Bud Spencer duo films are
much better.
Early 80's fashion.
Yes, this car is real.
The film isn't always good , sometimes is fresh and
diverting and on a couple of memorable occasions , it's frankly
delicious. The movie displays innumerable laughters , jokes and
slapstick . The picture is well starred by Bud Spencer . Bud , the
popular Latin movie actor who starred in innumerable spaghetti Westerns
and action-packed potboilers during the 1960s and '70s, was born Carlo
Pedersoli (1929) in Naples. He was the first Italian to swim the 100
meter freestyle and competed as a swimmer at the Olympic games . He
appeared as a member of the Praetorian Guard in his first movie,
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's epic "Quo Vadis" in 1951. He changed his screen
name to "Bud Spencer" in 1967, as a homage to Spencer Tracy and to the
American beer Budweiser. Spencer achieved his greatest hit in spaghetti
Westerns lensed for a global audience. Teaming up with fellow Italian
Terence Hill, the two made such international successes as I Quattro
dell'Ave Maria (1968) and "They Call Me Trinity" , and ¨Trinity is still
my name¨ . Their dual outings made both stars famous, particularly in
Europe. In all, Spencer made 18 movies with Hill . Later on , he became a
jet airplane and helicopter pilot after appearing in ¨Crazy plane¨
(1972) and owned an air transport company, Mistral Air, which he founded
in 1984. However, he terminated his business interest in Mistral and
entered the children's clothing industry. After 1983, Spencer's movie
career slowed down, though he did have a big success in the early 1990s
with the TV action-drama "Extralarge". A man of many talents, Bud wrote
texts and plots for some of his films . He also has registered several
royalties. In the 70s and 80s Bud Spencer starred quite a few movies
without Terence Hill , as he made three kind of films : 1ª he performed
pictures with a little boy as partner as ¨Banana Joe ¨ , ¨Aladdin¨and
¨The Supersheriff¨ ; 2ª about cop named Flatfoot or Rizzo, also called
Piedone, such as, ¨Flatfoot in Cairo , Flatfoot in Hong Kong, Flatfoot
in Egypt , Flatfoot in Africa¨, furthermore the ¨Extralargo¨ series 3ª
about diverse characters as a medieval knight as ¨Soldier of fortune¨ , a
swindler as ¨Mr Charleston¨ or a fisherman , ex-player as ¨Bulldozer .
And they all lived happily...ever after?
The
picture packs commercial musical score by La Bionda in similar style to
usuals Guido and Maurizio De Angelis , including catching sounds
fitting perfectly in the mood of the movie . Passable cinematography by
Silvio Ippoliti , though is necessary a perfect remastering . The story
is middling written by by Mario Amendola, following the Hill-Spencer
ordinary trademarks , he wrote several Spencer vehicles as ¨Banana Joe¨,
¨Aladdin¨, ¨A friend is a treasure¨, and ¨Par and Impar¨. The motion
picture is regularly directed by Bruno Corbucci, Sergio Corbucci's
brother. Bruno wrote and directed various Hill-Spencer films as ¨Banana
Joe¨ , ¨Miami Supercops¨ , ¨Par-Impar¨ , ¨Cat and Dog¨ and ¨Aladdin¨ .
If you love the Spencer's other movies, go for it, and if you've never
seen one this is an acceptable start ; but only for Bud fans . This is
an average entertaining juvenile that will appeal to Italian comedy
buffs.
