smuggling . Entertaining and amusing African adventure with several
comic touches . This time Terence Hill and Bud Spencer as adventurers
in Africa taking on lots of dangers and feats against a group of
hoodlums . Thin and blonde man named Slim ( Terence Hill) and stocky ,
bearded fatty named Tom ( Bud Spencer ) team up again as the valiant
duo . The agreeable crew makes a new adventure movie plenty of
fist-play , action and entertainment , though only for Hill and Spencer
fans . This amusing film deal with ours intimate friends in Africa ,
they're nowadays two tourist swindlers , the blue-eyes and sympathetic
Terence Hill and the grumpy and goofy Bud Spencer . There happens

Slim & Tom, two very special cousins. |
Either you can go green or you can go knocked out. |
This amusing , engaging movie is crammed of fist-fights , punches ,
kicks , moving stunt-work , colorful African outdoors and lots of humor
. The picture is realized in similar style to ¨Africa Express¨ and
¨Safari Express¨ by Duccio Tessari with Giuliano Gemma . Terence Hill
is top-notch as sympathetic freewheeling trader of goods with a dream ,
to save enough money ; and Bud Spencer is enjoyable in charge of a
curious tourism agency ; meanwhile , both of whom taking on a group of
smugglers . The lighting-paced storyline slows down at times , but
frenetic fight-sequences and fun make up for it , besides includes a
chimp getting into mischief , pranks and antics . It's an entertaining
romp plenty of brawls , including amusing bounds and leaps .
This is a
nice and funny juvenile story for Hill and Spencer fans , as they are
delightful and likable . It packs action, fist-play, slapdash, humor
with tongue-in-cheek and is quite bemusing . This release has some cool
and several hilarious moments , adding wonderful African landscapes .
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 . Catching and
commercial musical score with marvelous leitmotif by Rizzati in Guido
and Maurizio De Angelis style , including some beautiful songs , the
first of them sung by Bud Spencer .
The motion picture picture is
compellingly directed by Italo Zingarelli who produced the
Hill-Spencer's greatest hits as ¨They call me Trinity¨ , ¨Trinity is
still my name¨ and other Spaghetti as ¨The five man army¨, ¨Johnny
Yuma¨ and Peplum as ¨¨The seven Spartans¨, ¨The invincible gladiator ¨,
¨The secret seven¨ , ¨Ursus¨, and several others . This is a passable
entertaining juvenile that will appeal to Italian comedy buffs. Rating
: Acceptable and passable but only for Hill and Spencer fans.
Here's the movie for your connoisseur guilty pleasure:

Estupenda película la tengo en dvd y de vez en cuando la veo, golpes a raudales en defensa de los animales.
Como dato a la causa, en tu reseña esta la relación del productor y director Italo Zingarelli, esta fue la ultima y la única vez que dirigió a ambos cómicos, siempre fue como productor, pero siguió colaborando con Spencer en "Un ejercito de 5 hombres".
La canción "Grau Grau Grau" fue cantada en realidad por Bud Spence, quien tiene un buen registro de voz
Saludos
ese dato me faltó, también lo tenía en mente cuando estaba escribiendo la reseña pero bueno se me fue que aquí aparece Bud Spencer cantando la canción principal de esta película animalista.
mañana haré una reseña de otra donde son apostadores exitosos
saludos!
