Nati con la camicia

A must have for any Spencer and Hill fan. I must say have been a fan of the duo for a LONG time. This movie should have been called, "A Series of Unfortunate Events". OK, maybe not. Unfortunately, too many people often times make the mistake of comparing older movies to modern flicks. This is just wrong. This is a funny, comedy that will keep you laughing for quite some time. This film has lots of fight scenes, usually against a bunch of baddies. With the ever grumpy Bud Spencer swatting them like flies. Definitely poking fun at the CIA. The chemistry between their two characters is so great. If you've seen any Bud & Terence movie then you know what I mean. They are just a fantastic team. One always getting the other in a jam. While the sound quality is not the best, it's definitely passable for an 80's flick. If you are a true Bud and Terence fan like I am, then you won't be disappointed. If this is your first time, then do good to check it out if you can find a copy. Because like good wine, they are hard to find.

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.

The pic deals with the intimate friends , Terence Hill and Bud Spencer, now as two drifters who meet each other and being mistaken as thieves . But they get to escape thanks to the ventriloquist skills of Hill . Later on , while the hustlers travel by airplane are confused for two international spies , and someone give them a luggage full of million of dollars . After that, the pair become involved in several adventures , and rare situations full of risks , dangers and fun.

The big time duo from Spahetti Western wrapped in humor as ¨They call me Trinity ¨ and its followings as ¨Trinity is still my name¨ and ¨Trouble makers¨ were run out and then they're transfered to Police and action genre . As they played the Miami series which are set in Florida , such as ¨Miami Supercops¨, ¨Crime Busters¨, and ¨Superfuzz¨ . Here Terence Hill and Bud Spencer play characters mistaken for spies in this spy spoof . Similarly, in their next movie , Miami Supercops (1985), the two play secret agents who go undercover as policemen . There are plenty of humor based on diverse personality and physical differences among them . This one packs silly comedy with James Bond influence , tongue-in-cheek , slapstick and ordinary struggles , neither blood , nor violence ; besides , including some car pursuits. It appears usual secondaries who customarily intervene on their films , as David Huddleston and Ricardo Pizutti . Average cinematography and lousy musical score composed by means of synthesizer , being composed by the usual La Bionda . The motion picture was regularly directed by Enzo Barboni who previously was a notorious cameraman as proved in ¨Django¨, ¨Hellbenders¨ , and ¨Goodbye Texas¨ and made the classics : ¨Trinity¨ and ¨Trinity is still my name¨. The tale will appeal to Hill and Spencer fans.

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!

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.
