Review by elo-equipamentos

Terence Hill left for a while his successful partnership with Bud Spencer to make this solo act as Mr. Billion an American endeavor exploiting the charismatic Italian star in a new kind of role, instead those typecast bean eater on spaghetti westerns, he plays Guido Falcone a poor Italian garage's mechanic in Italy who becomes overnight a billionaire due his wealthy uncle had died in an unusual (comic) accident and left to him as inheritance a huge corporation Falcone Finance Company locate in San Francisco, due he has afraid to fly, he rather travel by boat and train, however to get the rights of state he must be there according his uncle's will in exactly twelve noons days or will lose everything.

In Hollywood formulaic plot, the chairman of Falconi Company Jackie Gleason will tries by any means stop Guido reaching in time, he hires a woman Valerie Perrine to lure him and sign a paper giving full powers to greedy man to take over all business, hijacking and even murder if necessary to accomplish his goal, then Guido enters in everlasting dire straits cross-country with several uncanny characters as the iconic Slim Pickens as Texan, many cars chases, helicopters, trains, and a breathtaking final sequence at edge of Grand Canyon is the highlight of this weird comic on Terence Hill's trademark, making a little homage to American Westerns as weel.

Thanks for reading.
