Pour les anges seul le crime est payant

I liked the start of the movie but I did find most part of the middle not funny and not really going anywhere. This movie should in my opinion had been an hour shorter or had some better content in the middle.

All involved did a fine enough job just far too long spent in the middle without being funny or moving the story anywhere. Had it at least been cut to 90 minutes that may also have made the remaining movie better paced. for 3 hours there are far too few fights in this movie.

So my recommendation is to find another Bud Spencer comedy instead of this movie.

Enzo Barboni (AKA E.B.Clucher) Comedy about the confusion of two gents & the mob. Bud Spencer who usually paires up with Terence Hill in this sort of thing is paired up with Giuliano Gemma, who did a really great job. A fun movie with some really funny parts. If you are a usual Hill/Spencer fan, give this a shot. Giuliano Gemma might suprise you a bit, although I am a huge Terence Hill fan, I thought Gemma did very well. The humor is classic & maybe a bit uneasy (The bomber baby poop scene was a bit much) if you watch it while eating. Some great familiar faces from other Hill/Spencer films are in this. Including the late great Steffen Zacharias, who played Johnathan in They Call Me Trinity, as well as a ton of other roles. Great soundtrack in the tradition of Oliver Onions. If you can find a copy it is worth a watch.

This is essentially a Trinity-style comedy, except that this time Giuliano Gemma is paired with Bud Spencer and the place is the Italian gangland, not the Western. Our heroes are trying to become good gangsters, but they just cannot be as ruthless as the job requires. The move to gangland territory works extremely well, especially as some of the Trinity-style humour appears much more natural here, closer to home, in the setting it originated from. Gemma is also a more than adequate substitute for Terence Hill.

Don't miss the martial arts sequence!

Bud Spencer is a wrestler on the run because he won't take a dive. Giuliano Gemma is an ice-cream maker ont he run because he can't afford to pay off a bet. They decide to join a mob, and impress boss Robert Middleton. But they are so inept that they start a mob war with the neighboring gang.

This looks like it was supposed to be another team-up between Spencer and Terence Hill, but Gemma got the role instead. He plays it a lot less cool than Hill, but is quite funny. This allows Spencer to play a bit warmer than usual. Lot of laughs in this one, particularly when they're trying to collect from a series of broke merchants. There are some nice set designs, including movie posters from the early 1920s.

Really funny italian comedy with Spencer-Gemma instead a missing Hill, even so Gemma didn't disappoint as Hill's replacement, these two guy are fabulous as newcomers to Mob in Chicago, they tried to be bad, but somehow they driven by good heart and end up help whose they get the money, in the best scenes where the boss faces the Judiah a sort a informer who asking to receive your 30 dollars not in bill but in coins!!! Amuzing parody, worth every cents spent in this DVD!!
