In this movie, Terence Hill, the leading actor, plays without the other part of the famous duet, that is Bud Spencer.
Most viewers who have got used to watching both actors playing together in films may think that, since one part of the equation is missing, the result wouldn’t be as entertaining as they would normally expect it to be.
On the contrary, Terence Hill manages to keep the viewers’ attention to the end of the movie, alongside another great actor, Ernest Borgnine.
The situations that the heroes face are hard to believe.
However, although these things don’t happen in real life, watching this movie is a good way to escape from hard reality.
It offers genuine old-school entertainment, and you only need a bucket of popcorn and a large coke to fully enjoy the experience, just like in a movie theater.
Different times, different stories, different problems.
Back then, phony money was big-time crime, while nowadays, with the dominance of electronic money, paper money tends to attract increasingly less attention from mastermind crooks.
Flying on a balloon made from chewing gum, walking on water without sinking, and repeatedly failing to be electrocuted in the chair and leaving without a single injury are just a few of the absurdities of the movie.
To be honest, I prefer watching this type of innocent and harmless absurdities than films with scripts that neither entertain nor educate viewers.
Can you imagine yourself being a “super fuzz”?
Just thinking of it can have a positive effect and change your mood, so the hilariously unbelievable situations that are featured in the movie can help you escape from everyday problems and get a couple of hours relief from the stress and pressure of today’s fast-paced life.
