And I sir, am the bun!, 20 May 2004
10/10
Author: faisal_khan from London, England

Bus Spencer & Terence Hill aren't well known in the United Kingdom and this is a shame as their work deserves to be seen by a wider audience. A nice mix of sight gags, slapstick and inventive fight scenes, it's closer to an Italian version of a Jackie Chan comedy than any western comedy duo.

Go For It unites the drifter Rosco (Hill) with fresh-out-of-jail Doug (Spencer). Within the first 10 minutes they've beaten the occupants of a highway diner and stolen a truck. 10 minutes later, they're mistaken for two CIA operatives and despatched to Miami to infiltrate the mysterious K1's organisation.

The script and budget of this film are well above their usual low-budget set-pieces, but what really makes these films shine are the stars. Hill's smooth-talking, fist-fighting charmer is the perfect counterpart to Spencer's hulking laid-back bruiser. If you've never seen them fight a group of Euro-villains, this is a good one to start with. Much of the pleasure comes from seeing Bud Spencer delivering one of his trademark slaps - a slap from a man that size HAS to hurt and the ringing sound effects foleyed in are a nice departure from the usual gunshot-type sound effect.

Posing a rich Texan millionaires and in possession of a million dollars, these two wreak havoc across Miami. My favourite scene is the delivery of Spencer's burger; the sequence is surreal enough to have been lifted from a Leone western and will have you in stitches.

If you like this film I'd also recommend 'Double Trouble', possibly their finest film. 'Go For It' remains a close second and a fine reminder that if there's no chemistry, no amount of stunts or CGI will make your film work. The right team, however unlikely the pairing, will turn any ordinary film into a memorable one.

Funny beyond description, 2 December 2006
10/10
Author: jalilidalili from Slovenia

What can be said about this except that it's gut busting funny! If Hitchock's North by Northwest has an interesting yet quite believable identity switch (and it has), then this one works in the same way. By answering to a certain name a new identity is given to our heroes and the plot thickens. OK, the bad guy is an ultimate idiot, but that's to be taken into the account - after all this one is a comedy.

Quite a lot of stunts and many humorous punches. Slapstick at it's best and it meets up with a great storytelling talent. Not to mention it's actually a feel-good movie. It lifts your spirits with it's lightness and humor. Can't go wrong with this one!

Easily The Most Bizarre Spencer/Hill Flick - And One Of Their Funniest, 17 August 2007
8/10
Author: Benjamin Gauss from Salzburg, Austria

Enzo Barboni's "Nati Con La Camicia" aka. "Trinity: Hits The Road" is easily the most bizarre movie with Bud Spencer and Terence Hill, and also one of their funniest and best. The movie has everything we love about Bud and Terence flicks - but plenty of fistfights and ass-kicking, wonderful lowbrow humor, extremely dumb villains, the typical jokes and feeling - plus the most bizarre ending of any of their movies (which I won't give away).

Bud and Terence star as the typical proletarian drifters they always are, Rosco (Hill) and Doug (Spencer). Doug is a Truck driver who makes the mistake of taking Rosco, a hitchhiker, along. After escaping a police control, the two are mistaken for criminals at first, for two secret agents named Steinberg and Mason later...

In case you are looking for intellectual comedy no film with Bud Spencer and Terence Hill will be your taste. In case you like Bud and Terence, however, you should certainly not miss "Trinity: Hits The Road". It is admittedly silly, but so are all the Spencer/Hill comedies; for a fan of the two, this is perfect entertainment, and I personally laugh my ass off each time I see it. Out of their non-Western movies, this is one of my favorites. Spencer/Hill movies are certainly not everybody's taste, but in case you're a fan you certainly can't allow yourself to miss this one!

Very good, though it could have been better!, 31 October 2006
7/10
Author: Hvalross from Norway

Typical Spencer/Hill product, this time they get entangled into some Secret Agent stuff, all because of misunderstandings. The overall plot works fine and the movie flows well. However, I find this as a lesser good Spencer/Hill effort because of this one is too much of the same. Rather predictable, though not directly boring; there are many excellent moments here too, topped with a (bit different) big fight scene at the end. Not bad in overall, just less good than earlier efforts.

In sum, this one is a bit uneven. I like it still, but it lacks something. Good nevertheless. Recommended mostly for fans. 3.5/5.

¨GO FOR IT¨ is an amusing film with Hill and Spencer posing as secret agents in the sunny Miami, 12 October 2009
6/10
Author: ma-cortes from Santander Spain

The pic deals about ours intimate friends, Terence Hill and Bud Spencer, now as two drifters who meet each other and being mistaken as thieves. But they get to escape thanks the ventriloquist skills of Hill. Later on, meanwhile the hustlers travel in airplane are confused for two international spies, and someone give them a luggage full of million of dollars. After that, the pair become involved in several adventures, and rare situations full of risks , dangers and fun.

The big time duo from Spahetti Western wrapped in humor as ¨They call me Trinity ¨ and its following as ¨Trinity is still my name¨ and ¨Trouble makers¨ were run out and then they're transfered to Police and action genre. .As they played the Miami series which are set in Florida, such as ¨Miami Supercops¨, ¨Crime Busters¨, and ¨Superfuzz¨ . They're plenty of humor and based on personally and physical differences among them . This one packs silly comedy with James Bond influence, tongue in cheek, slapstick and the habitual struggles neither blood , nor violence, besides including some car pursuits. Appears usual secondaries who customarily intervene on their films , as David Huddleston and Ricardo Pizutti. Average cinematography and lousy musical score composed by synthesizer. The motion picture is regularly directed by Enzo Barboni who previously was a notorious cameraman as ¨Django, Hellbenders, and Goodbye Texas¨and made the classic ¨Trinity¨. The tale will appeal to Hill and Spencer fans.

funny movie indeed, 5 February 2006
8/10
Author: sirius_6it from Italy

I've recently bought the DVD of this movie, but I remember watching it when I was a child, here in Italy they used to play a lot of Spencer-Hill movies (in the 70s 80s), unfortunately now it's a total different story...Italian comedy has gone totally bad. But this is another issue.

I've watched it in both the versions (English,I suppose it's the original one..?) and Italian , the one I was used to. I've noticed some changes in the dialogs , like in every movie, and I'd like to quote a funny sketch, that you can see when they go to meet K1... K1 says "Mr ..... and....., I suppose" and Spencer says "You suppose right" , well in Italian is more funny because the line changes in "la supposta è giusta " where "supposta " means both the past tense of "supporre " (to suppose) and also the little rocket- shaped medicine you take when you have fever ... :) :) (got it ?...........:) ciao ciao gio'

Middle-of-the-road Spencer & Hill fare, 24 October 2009
5/10
Author: gridoon2009

Bud Spencer and Terence Hill try their hand at the "spy spoof" genre, with so-so results. The set-up of the story is pretty promising, with an elaborate series of events that leads to Bud & Terence being mistaken for top-class CIA agents and sent to pose as eccentric Texas millionaires at a superlux Miami hotel that is suspected to be also a hideout for criminal elements. The film is well-produced and has some unexpectedly smart surreal gags (the most memorable probably being the public restroom doubling as a transportation chamber!). Unfortunately, there are also a few too many sluggish stretches for a 105-minute movie. This is probably one of the most plot-driven Hill & Spencer films, and it has fewer fight scenes than usual, which may or may not be a good thing, depending on your preferences. The only standout in the supporting cast is the Amazonian Faith Minton, playing a henchwoman. Overall a pleasant, very watchable, but only occasionally funny film. ** out of 4.

South by Southeast, 17 May 2007
8/10
Author: Vasilii Naidionoff from Ukraine

Classic slapstick action meets Hitchcock's type of plot at NATI CON LA CAMICIA (1983).If you like Terence Hill - Bud Spencer duet - this is your movie.Two country Jamesbonds vs. band of mad criminals.Little jokes around sex vs. relatively much toilet humor.As usual for Spencer-Hill movies abundance of fighting scenes (but car and stunt scenes not very much).Beautyfull big bad girl (Faith Minton) and sweet barmaid (Susan Teesdale) are good alternative to any James Bond's woman.I think budget of NATI CON LA CAMICIA possibly compare with old James Bond movies (it's my personal visual impression).Comic resources of the movie may be too much straight but result is perfect for circus culture.

A good film for young kids at the time., 11 August 2005
6/10
Author: k-thomas from Netherlands

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

When i first moved to Holland in 1981, Bud Spencer and Terence Hill were very popular, unlike now. This Movie in my opinion was their best. A harmless piece of light entertainment for young Children, which really you don't get now. Most important to me was i thought Faith Minton stole the show. She was very humorous in some of her scenes and it is a pity you only see her now in heavy bad guy roles such as Sudden Death and The Stranger.

Bud Spencer was very good and i liked the scene in the Prison where he was reading the latest Superman Comic. Of course their Films have dated now, but they are still enjoyable to watch. You don't always want to watch heavy Films all the time.
