Inspetor Faustão e o Mallandro: A Missão (Primeira e Única)

Art is not for everyone. The Egg Rap has an iconic place in brazillian history.

Well, this film is a piece of junk, but it deserves a 10 of 10 because it is a synthesis of the mass culture (i.e. junk of the mass culture) at Brazilian 80's.

Sergio Mallandro and Fausto "Faustão" Silva were major TV stars at that time and their success was based in no-sense junked TV shows for the major audiences.

At 2000's, this film - and the whole 80's - is "in fashion" again, when the young adults, remember their infancy with raves called "Trash 80's".

A niece piece of junk (ops, film) to see what made the 80's Brazilian people laugh.

What can be said about this absolute masterpiece of Braziliana trash? No acting, no script, no nothing - pure chaos, and with a soundtrack to match it (the "Rap do Ovo" sung by Sergio Malandro & Fausto Silva is a moment of pure bliss - must be seen & heard to be believed). For an hour or so, the viewer will be stunned with the "riveting performances" of Sergio Maladro, Fausto Silva, Costinha and a stream of forgettable names in a flick destined for cinematic glory. For those who have seen (and survived) the Mr. T self-help classic, "Be Somebody (or Be Somebody's Fool)" or any of Charles Band's grand productions, will certainly find this title more than memorable. Considering that the piece was already aimed for the trash bin at its very release, this is a very hard film to find, even, here, in Brazil - and with no DVD release in sight, finding a copy is quite a dauting task. But if you are lucky enough to stumble onto it - don't pass up the chance! This gem will certainly make your brain go mush!

A brazilian masterpiece! The best nonsense comedy of the Brazil. The cast is perfect, the soundtrack is lovely and the script is superb!

The jokes are well executed, ensuring authentic laughs, and the plot is skillfully constructed, keeping the audience engaged.

Furthermore, the film avoids the excessive use of cultural stereotypes, showing sensitivity in the representation of diversity. This respectful approach contributes to the authenticity of the narrative.
