Hill and Spencer again, now as policeman in the sunny Florida

Our friends(Hill and Spencer), now sea-workers but without employment decide realize a hold up,but they finish attempting heist a precinct. It goes wrong and then they enlist as policemen under the orders of a stiff police chief(David Huddleston).Meanwhile they will confront against a villain gangster and help to a gorgeous Oriental girl(Laura Gemser).

The formula of Spaghetti western with humor as ¨they call me Trinity¨and ¨Trinity is is still my name¨,one time run out is transfered at other sub-genres as far adventures, action or police-action.Thus, the comedy and laughters are varied and the chuckles are based about diverse personalities and physical differences of the starring.Terence Hill is likable,hilarious and agreeable;Bud Spencer is his bouncing,muscular pal and although he's always angry is with nice feeling. The comedy is narrated through numerous struggles developed in a Bar(where Hill simulate to be a cripple and Spencer a deaf-mute),in a Stadium and a Bowl.Fights are light by means of punch and bound and leaps with no blood neither gore.The argument film is plain and simple although sometimes is absurd and ridiculous but has its moments here and there.Plus appears the attractive Laura Gemser(Black Enmmanuel). This movie along with ¨Miami supercops¨and ¨Superfuzz¨belongs to the trilogy which both made in Miami as policemen and directed by brothers Sergio and Bruno Corbucci,besides the score music were by Guido and Mauricio de Angelis and the Bionda.The motion picture is regularly directed by Enzo Barboni or E.B.Clucher,the same of Trinity series. Rating : average but entertained.
