Dois Contra o Oeste

Bus Spencer & Terence Hill aren't well known in the United Kingdom and this is a shame as their work deserves to be seen by a wider audience. A nice mix of sight gags, slapstick and inventive fight scenes, it's closer to an Italian version of a Jackie Chan comedy than any western comedy duo.

Go For It unites the drifter Rosco (Hill) with fresh-out-of-jail Doug (Spencer). Within the first 10 minutes they've beaten the occupants of a highway diner and stolen a truck. 10 minutes later, they're mistaken for two CIA operatives and despatched to Miami to infiltrate the mysterious K1's organisation.

The script and budget of this film are well above their usual low-budget set-pieces, but what really makes these films shine are the stars. Hill's smooth-talking, fist-fighting charmer is the perfect counterpart to Spencer's hulking laid-back bruiser. If you've never seen them fight a group of Euro-villains, this is a good one to start with. Much of the pleasure comes from seeing Bud Spencer delivering one of his trademark slaps - a slap from a man that size HAS to hurt and the ringing sound effects foleyed in are a nice departure from the usual gunshot-type sound effect.

Posing a rich Texan millionaires and in possession of a million dollars, these two wreak havoc across Miami. My favourite scene is the delivery of Spencer's burger; the sequence is surreal enough to have been lifted from a Leone western and will have you in stitches.

If you like this film I'd also recommend 'Double Trouble', possibly their finest film. 'Go For It' remains a close second and a fine reminder that if there's no chemistry, no amount of stunts or CGI will make your film work. The right team, however unlikely the pairing, will turn any ordinary film into a memorable one.

Classic slapstick action meets Hitchcock's type of plot at NATI CON LA CAMICIA (1983).If you like Terence Hill - Bud Spencer duet - this is your movie.Two country Jamesbonds vs. band of mad criminals.Little jokes around sex vs. relatively much toilet humor.As usual for Spencer-Hill movies abundance of fighting scenes (but car and stunt scenes not very much).Beautyfull big bad girl (Faith Minton) and sweet barmaid (Susan Teesdale) are good alternative to any James Bond's woman.I think budget of NATI CON LA CAMICIA possibly compare with old James Bond movies (it's my personal visual impression).Comic resources of the movie may be too much straight but result is perfect for circus culture.

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.

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!

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.
