All the Way Boys

The greatest buddy comedy starring Terence Hill and Bud Spencerdoing what they do best. Absolute joyride

As a teenager, I loved the Spencer/Hill films and this was one of my favorites. When I watched it again a few years ago I was a bit anxious that I might spoil my childhood memories by too clearly seeing its flaws now. I shouldn't have worried: although there are a few flaws (especially the overuse of fist fights and a quarter-hearted attempt at romance) it remains very entertaining. And you won't be able to get the catchy theme song out of your head.

Our two heroes are push pilots of the lowest caliber somewhere in South America. The opening scene in which Bud Spencer flies one of these jokes with wings in bad weather conditions is a classic. First you think it is one of those 'hero overcomes impossible odds' kinds of scenes, and then it turns out not to be, and then, perhaps, it was such a scene after all, in a way. You see: I'm struggling to explain it without giving anything away, suffice it to say that it's clever and funny.

The bad guys are mostly a bit lifeless, with the exception of Reinhard Kolldehoff who makes an excellent sleazy bastard, similar to the kinds Eduardo Fajardo uses to play.

Terence Hill and Bud Spencer were a great team. Their movies are kind of goofy but they're also filled with charm. I've a huge fan of "My Name is Nobody". Somehow I saw it in the theater with my brother, unsupervised, when we were really young. But until only a couple of years ago, I had never seen a Hill/Spenser movie. I'm still in my early stages of my Hill/Spenser journey but I have to say that "All the Way Boys" is their best movie so far. Their movies are fun and goofy but I don't usually laugh out loud. I laughed out loud a bunch of times watching "All the Way Boys". (I watched this movie on Tubi.)

Professionals who worked with Bud&Terence often pick this movie as their favourite, and for a reason. However, the most common version you will find is the heavily cut (butchered) 90-minute version, which is not the best to enjoy this movie. The full cut is rare, but the best way to enjoy a well made adventure movie, with the unique features of Bud&Terence's movies.

A bit less comedy, a bit more romanticism, a slower pace than the usual B&T's movies, but overall a fascinating work by Colizzi who returns to direct the Italian duo after launching the couple in his late '60s western trilogy.

Bud and Terence, bush pilots who participate in a friend's insurance scams, are once again "heroes by chance". There is adventure, wit, beautiful scenery and a couple of (inevitable) fist fights. Very enjoyable.

I liked this movie......it was a change.I always saw their westerns......and i was getting tired of see terence and bud as cowboys. Yeah they are pilots in this movie and they make a plane to ship supplies to prospecters mining for emeralds and a jealous competitor ruins thier business and well.......lots of fights.....just like their other movies.....this movie is good but i suggest you see crimebusters , the trinitys , and my name is nobody!!!!!
