The greatest buddy comedy starring Terence Hill and Bud Spencerdoing what they do best. Absolute joyride

I liked this movie......it was a change.I always saw their westerns......and i was getting tired of see terence and bud as cowboys. Yeah they are pilots in this movie and they make a plane to ship supplies to prospecters mining for emeralds and a jealous competitor ruins thier business and well.......lots of fights.....just like their other movies.....this movie is good but i suggest you see crimebusters , the trinitys , and my name is nobody!!!!!

Professionals who worked with Bud&Terence often pick this movie as their favourite, and for a reason. However, the most common version you will find is the heavily cut (butchered) 90-minute version, which is not the best to enjoy this movie. The full cut is rare, but the best way to enjoy a well made adventure movie, with the unique features of Bud&Terence's movies.

A bit less comedy, a bit more romanticism, a slower pace than the usual B&T's movies, but overall a fascinating work by Colizzi who returns to direct the Italian duo after launching the couple in his late '60s western trilogy.

Bud and Terence, bush pilots who participate in a friend's insurance scams, are once again "heroes by chance". There is adventure, wit, beautiful scenery and a couple of (inevitable) fist fights. Very enjoyable.

As a teenager, I loved the Spencer/Hill films and this was one of my favorites. When I watched it again a few years ago I was a bit anxious that I might spoil my childhood memories by too clearly seeing its flaws now. I shouldn't have worried: although there are a few flaws (especially the overuse of fist fights and a quarter-hearted attempt at romance) it remains very entertaining. And you won't be able to get the catchy theme song out of your head.

Our two heroes are push pilots of the lowest caliber somewhere in South America. The opening scene in which Bud Spencer flies one of these jokes with wings in bad weather conditions is a classic. First you think it is one of those 'hero overcomes impossible odds' kinds of scenes, and then it turns out not to be, and then, perhaps, it was such a scene after all, in a way. You see: I'm struggling to explain it without giving anything away, suffice it to say that it's clever and funny.

The bad guys are mostly a bit lifeless, with the exception of Reinhard Kolldehoff who makes an excellent sleazy bastard, similar to the kinds Eduardo Fajardo uses to play.

Classic Spencer & Hill, in their first movie together not set in the west. Has all of the Spencer & Hill trademarks: non-cheesy good sentiments with cynical characters turning into heroes in the end, fist fights, totally evil bad guys. Great De Angelis brothers (Oliver Onions) soundtrack, fitting perfectly in the mood of the movie as usual. If you love the pair's other movies, go for it, and if you've never seen one this is a great start. Try to find the uncut version (120 minutes, but it's virtually impossible to find) or at least a version with a runtime of more than 90 minutes. Other versions (like the one in the Italian DVD) are a mess.
