...altrimenti ci arrabbiamo!

My favorite film poster.

Hello fellow readers from across the globe, before we continue with the in depth investigation on the Pubic Wars greatest films We'll take a healthy break with a personal favorite from our personal favorite comedy couple of all times. You know, sometimes people tend to think this blog is about porn and sex only and that isn't fair, we review movies of all sorts! so let's enjoy this Italian masterpiece for today!

...altrimenti ci arrabbiamo! (AKA, Watch Out, We're Mad, Juntos Son Dinamita, Y si no, Nos Enfadamos) is a 1974 Italian action comedy starring the golden Italian comedy duo of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer and directed by Marcello Fondato. The film was a collaboration between Italy and Spain as you can easily spot the city of Madrid and plenty of billboards written in the Spanish language. Some portions of the film were shot in Rome (mostly interior scenes) Also, this movie along with  i 2 Super Piedi Quasi Piatti is considered Hill & Spencer at their best, according to genre connoisseurs worldwide.  

Get the girl.

Motorized joust.

In this Spaniard-Italian production the golden couple teams up once again as the daredevil and friendly duo Kid and Ben who, by chance,  have to go against some lowlife Godfather wannabe gang. These two charming gentlemen (Hill and Spencer) are nothing but rivals  at the beginning of the story. They participate in a rally race whose prize is a fancy mini car everyone wants. They tie in a car crash race to win a red dune buggy . Later, as they're both winners, they set up an all you can eat hotdog contest to decide who's going to be the rightful owner of the buggy. During such contest , various hoodlums of a local mobster named the Boss (John Sharp) trash the place, and eventually their recently won buggy . After that , the duo decides to pay a little visit to the assholes who wasted their car . Kid and Ben want vendetta and the replacement of their red buggy just the way it was (with a yellow top, they remark) . Meanwhile , Terence Hill falls in love with a circus artist (Patty Shepard) and they are chased by a cold killer (Manuel De Blas) hired by the mobs . Of course, along the way they will combat thieves ,thugs and criminals of all sorts...

Meet Kid and Ben.

Dune Buggy.

The 'big time' duo of Spaghetti Western with signature classics such as ¨They call me Trinity¨, ¨ Trinity is still my name ¨ and sequels as ¨Troublemakers¨ changed the worn out spaghetti western arena  for the  modern era setting , playing the police/action genre and adventures such as ¨All the way boys¨ and today's entry as well . After that , they starred the successful trilogy known as the ¨ Miami police series ¨, which comprised the following films: ¨Crime Busters¨ , ¨Superfuzz¨ and ¨supercops in Miami¨. 

Watch Out! We're Mad! contains what by today's standards would be called silly comedy , the usual slight fights and lots of action including some motorcycle pursuits with an improvised but,  equally entertaining, medieval knights joust tournament , entertaining struggles in a gymnasium and a fun ball in a saloon . Although, some may say there are a few flaws , like the overuse of fight sequences and a poorly developed romance story plus a lack of background info on why the mob is there, it is still a very enjoyable experience which takes a bullet proof formula that grants 97 minutes of pure entertainment.

Hitting bad guys is my specialty.

That's no musician, that's a killer!

The humor is based (as a connoissuer might guess) on the lead couple differences, as Terence Hill is the friendly and brave hero while Bud Spencer is the tough and brute man. In addition, the rest of the cast deliver enjoyable performances including Donald Pleasence , a veteran actor with a long and prestigious career ; furthermore , being a Spanish-Italian production several Spanish actors join the cast. Names such as Luis Barbero as the old garage owner , Emilia Laguna as the musical conductor and Manuel De Blas as the silent murderer add up  to the final result. The cinematography of the film delivers what we call, a timeless master piece rendition. The music score was composed and directed by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis AKA -Oliver Onions- , including catching songs adding up perfectly to the flick's  environment, although it turns repetitive at times, is still very melodic and quite enjoyable.

Overall, a pleasurable experience advisable for connoisseurs, for the ones who want to chill out while watching it and for anyone interested in diggin these Italian treasures that hopefully, will never be forgotten and erased from our memories.
