Altrimenti ci arrabbiamo

If you've seen and loved the original with Bud Spencer and Terence Hill, you will not miss anything if you skip this.

However, if you consider that this is not exactly a remake but a strange and mostly unnecessary sequel to the original, with the heroes closely related to the original Ben & Kid, it's kinda watchable on a boring Sunday afternoon.

It does feel like a glitch in the Matrix, with events and history mostly repeating themselves, though not exactly. It's way less funny than the original, but if you don't go into it hating it outright, it may even make you smile here and there. It does pay tribute to the original, and tries to respect it. And it shows that the leads do respect Bud and Terence, and know that they're facing an impossible task trying to live up to them.

Anyway, one thing is sure: watching this will make you want to watch the original ASAP. Even if you haven't seen that. Why? Because you'll wonder why that one gets all the praise. You'll have to see it for yourself. For the first time... or for the thousandth.

... you almost always get it wrong. However the result here is watchable. Especially if you consider it maybe not so much as a sequel but as an homage to the original movie. It's true it is really difficult to live up to the Spencer/Hill duo, but the leads here do their job with charm and De Sica as Torsilllo is hilarious as always.

In a way the secret to enjoy this is to be totally prejudiced (as I was) and make an effort to watch it anyway... In that case you will almost be pleasantly surprised.

Whatever you may think, you must admire the courage of the Younuts directors in making this: these endeavours are almost always movie suicide. However, for me, not this time.

Please remove this movie from the digital archives all over the world, delete any downloaded streaming files from your cache and any copy on hard-disks, forget the actors, trash it to the end, skip the trailer or even any frame on google images... and save and keep with heart the good memory of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill, love you guys you are still alive and acting together in our minds.

As a kid, I was a huge Bud Spencer/ Terrence Hill fan. Even now, I can look back nostalgically and have a good chuckle at their films. This remake however, just no. It's missing the charm; humour and personality of the original. No matter how much of a fan you are of these 2 legends, or their films, this embarrassing remake is simply not worth your time. Forget this, and go check out the 1974 comedy classic . 2/10. The dodgy Bud Spencer lookalike and and the Terrence Hill "character" is so devoid of any real personality, that it just further adds to the disappointment. I sincerely hope Netflix does not sanction any further remakes from these 2 legends, if this particular one is anything to go by.

As in Lightning whatever his name was in Cars - this is about ... Dune Buggy ... no pun intended. And you may have heard the song - you will have seen the original movie for sure then. If you haven't ... maybe you won't be too disappointed ... but you should watch the original if you haven't.

The new actors in this - well those replacing Bud Spencer and Terence Hill (sorry if you know their real names, that's how I grew up with them) ... I feel sorry for them in a sense. It is not an easy task to fill those shoes (and fists - in fights that is)! And that was quite an understatement - I can't imagine anyone having seen the original movie and being a fan of the duo, remotely thinking that those two come close to the OG duo ... no pun intended.

That said, if you are interested, there are some positives I reckon. The race (early on) is quite well shot. Obviously with better cameras/equipment it also was easier to do nowadays, right? You also have an interesting and rather well shot "fight" highlight towards the end. Not sure about the drawn "pictures" in between ... and they also use the original song Dune Buggy - though not as much and often as the original did. Now that may be a good or bad thing - I won't judge either way (love the song of course).

Ending is quite nice and I reckon in tune with the original movies tone ... but apart from being predictable ... it's not like you will jump and cheer from your chair when you see it ... again .. a very tough movie and maybe one that should not have been done in the first place. Or maybe only when the right actors are around. No offense to the two used - pretty sure they are nice people and good actors in their own right. But I've only seen one person I could see "replace" Bud Spencer for example ... his name (international again) is: Don Lee! Watch his Round Up trilogy to get some of that feeling back .. and I've heard there will be at least a fourth one ... can't wait!
