Zwei bärenstarke Typen

Typical Spencer/Hill product, this time they get entangled into some Secret Agent stuff, all because of misunderstandings. The overall plot works fine and the movie flows well. However, I find this as a lesser good Spencer/Hill effort because of this one is too much of the same. Rather predictable, though not directly boring; there are many excellent moments here too, topped with a (bit different) big fight scene at the end. Not bad in overall, just less good than earlier efforts.

In sum, this one is a bit uneven. I like it still, but it lacks something. Good nevertheless. Recommended mostly for fans. 3.5/5.

I've recently bought the DVD of this movie, but I remember watching it when I was a child, here in Italy they used to play a lot of Spencer-Hill movies (in the 70s 80s), unfortunately now it's a total different story...Italian comedy has gone totally bad. But this is another issue.

I've watched it in both the versions (English,I suppose it's the original one..?) and Italian , the one I was used to. I've noticed some changes in the dialogs , like in every movie, and I'd like to quote a funny sketch, that you can see when they go to meet K1... K1 says "Mr ..... and....., I suppose" and Spencer says "You suppose right" , well in Italian is more funny because the line changes in "la supposta è giusta " where "supposta " means both the past tense of "supporre " (to suppose) and also the little rocket- shaped medicine you take when you have fever ... :) :) (got it ?...........:) ciao ciao gio'

First, i have to say that i'm fan of Spencer/Hill movies for my whole life, i grew up watching them on TV, and i'll never get bored of them. Finally, thanks to the wonder of internet, i've manage to collect all of their movies and most of their individual efforts (Flatfoot, Don Camillo...) Spencer and Hill together starred in 17 movies ('67-'94), and everything you can ask from a Hill/Spencer movie is here...all the silliness, slapstick, fights, comedy, finally with the much bigger budget than usual... Their age becomes problem but they manage to pull it off and look lively and dynamic without any problems. This movie is lighthearted fun, it is definitively not Oscar-worthy material but with Spencer and Hill around who cares. The story reminds on '70's James Bond movies and director, Enzo Barboni, manages to pull it off pretty well.

This is how action-comedy, or Bond parody, should be made and i recommend it to everyone who wants to have good old-fashioned fun when watching old movies.

It' funny. It's like they have always been. It's Spencer and Hill as secret agents (even if they don't want to). It's a satire on CIA. The movie is very enjoyable.

What can be said about this except that it's gut busting funny! If Hitchock's North by Northwest has an interesting yet quite believable identity switch (and it has), then this one works in the same way. By answering to a certain name a new identity is given to our heroes and the plot thickens. OK, the bad guy is an ultimate idiot, but that's to be taken into the account - after all this one is a comedy.

Quite a lot of stunts and many humorous punches. Slapstick at it's best and it meets up with a great storytelling talent. Not to mention it's actually a feel-good movie. It lifts your spirits with it's lightness and humor. Can't go wrong with this one!
