Avis à la une
Firstly I would like to confess that I love the duo comic Hill-Spencer since my teenage years, here in Brazil they are absolutely famous and quite often their movies were aired at TV, even in my widest dream I never supposed one day has all movies of them to watch anytime that I wanna do, this time they living in America and with strong similarity with two Brazilian odd millionaires, who are in trouble with their contenders there, so they offer a million bucks plus an additional of 500 thousand to accomplish the mission on Brazil during just one week.
Those cousin seemingly are sissy and snnoty as always they really are, the job is a piece of cake for ours heroes, at Rio de Janeiro they are treat like kings, however has an unexpected side effects when they went at low degree harbor area, where they had a fight that appears on newspaper, scratching the acquitted reputation of their sponsors, also with harsh social behavior, further attending football match, samba school having attentive with those rolling samba girls, worst when Hill deflowers a platonic love of his clone, priceless moment.
Apart the main casting, has many old acquaintance Brazilian actors in small roles, following the successful formula of previous movies, with tons of punches, slapping, breaking all around and beating the bad guys, car chase and even eating black beans, awesome second last picture of Hill-Spencer!!
Resume:
First watch: 1993 / How many: 4 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 7.25.

Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy. Bud Spencer and Terence Hill. You may not have heard of them as a double act and that's your loss. No its unforgivable. This film is hilarious. The two meet up by chance after they come to New York having been offered money to go there by two crooked millionaires. Both too stupid or greedy not to sniff that something is very wrong with such a generous offer.
Even more dumb when they asked to pose as them, big bucks prevent their brains from locking into thought mode. The openly time a stranger offers you a lot of money is because something precious to them is at risk and you are going to cover for them. Here its the millionaires lives. The comedy goes into overdrive as they are unaware of the various attempts on their lives, thinking it is only accidents that are surrounding them. There's also the clash of social status. People confusing them for the millionaires who have expensive tastes and know quality and decorum, whereas the look alike are oafish and unsophisticated

Bud Spencer and Terence Hill are two clumsy and snobbish millionaires who are blackmailed by "bad guys". Fortunately for them (but not for the bad guys), there is another couple that looks just like them. Can you imagine what will happen to the bad guys when they change places?
Terence Hill is a movie stunt man. Bud Spencer is jazz saxophonist. They are also exact doubles of two Brazilian cousins who are trying to sign a deal, but whose lives are being threatened. The first two are offered a million dollars each to impersonate the latter two for a week, and an additional half million each if they can figure out who's doing it. So they fly down to Brazil and turn the staid, stuffy, effete lives of their doubles upside down.
It's certainly not a novel idea for a comedy movie, so the question is how Hill & Spencer's comedy character make use of situations, as well as the amusement of seeing them playing characters so far from their wheelhouses. It's all very well handled, with lots of the usual low-brow gags and boisterous fight scenes with thugs; Hill & Spencer are, of course, invariably victorious in these.
This sort of slapstick fell out of fashion long ago. For those of us who enjoy old-time comedy, however, will find a lot to take pleasure in their movies in general, and this one in particular.

This was sadly the last good movie Bud and Terence did together, but even then it was obvious Bud Spencer was no longer as fit as he used to be. In previous movies you could really believe that the power in his punches could really have the effect they did. In this one though, he appears sluggish and seems to lack that power he had in previous movies. Age was surely taking its toll on him physically, which is probably why we only got one more movie after this one before they called it quits.
Both men played dual roles in this movie set in Brazil and I have to say they were surprisingly delightful as two toffee nosed, upper-class wimps. It showed just what comedy skills they had and they could do more than just play tough guys.
Classic line in this movie by Bud Spencer "I AM my dietitian!"

Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesThe script is based on a planned 5th "Flatfoot" movie(this time in Brazil) that never materialized. Instead it was changed to become this movie.
- GaffesWhen Eliot Vance and Greg Wonder are talking in a soccer stadium, they are with the "Vasco da Gama" crowd. After the the goal (footage) they all cheer. But that goal happened in the 1984 Brazilian Soccer Championship final (May,24 1984 at Maracanã Stadium, Rio de Janeiro) made by Vasco's oponent team: "Fluminense".
- Citations
Eliot Vance: The fact that he calls himself Tango in the land of Samba, tells us he's a complete idiot.
- Versions alternativesUK version is cut by 5 sec. to secure a PG rating. Removed were three double earclaps in a fight sequence. An uncut 15 rating was available to the distributor.
