Classic for me. Good story, characters, music, fun at all. I still wach it every one or two years.
I used to watched about 100 times this film, and I'll never forget the Firpo brothers, Nynfus and his band (especially Bugsy), the blonde girl and Parapolis with his broken nose. Great characters, memorable quotes, good music, and the funniest Bud Spencer & Terence Hill film of all time. If you like these Italian movies, don't miss it. This film was my favourite film when I was young. If you had already seen this movie, come on, watch it again nostalgically.
US Naval lieutenant Terence Hill is ordered to investigate a gambling ring that is interfering with Navy sports activity in Florida. He enlists Bud Spencer by stealing his eighteen-wheel rig, complete with dolphins, and generally tormenting. This is because they're brothers, although Spencer doesn't know it untilHill tells him, about a third of the wayinto this movie.
At least, that's what the English-dubbed version would have us believe. It's certainly possible that the original Italian version makes more sense. In general, there's a Roger Rabbit atmosphere to this movie, a sense that they can do just about anything, but only when it's funny. Fortunately, it frequently is. There are plenty of looks at Florida sporting venues of the period, like demolition derbies and jai alai stadiums. There are also frequent fights, with Spencer pounding the opposition with his fist, while Hill does something a little more gracieful, like hitting them with pool cues. It's not deep, but it certainly will please their fans.

"Odds And Evens" is not one of the best films of the Bud Spencer-Terence Hill team. There are some funny scenes (Terence pretending to be an amateur at playing cards, Bud explaining what happens to him when somebody wakes him up abruptly, Bud's encounter with a drunk truck driver), and the final showdown takes place on a boat that hosts a small casino - needless to say, the boys make full use of its props. But the storytelling is labored, tiresome and naive; the 111-minute running time is way too much for a movie of this type. If more gags were as witty as the last one, we'd be onto something here.

This movie is about a navy Leiutenant named Johnny Firpo (Terence Hill) who is ordered to work with the Miami Police force to help stop a gang of crooked card sharks. He needs the help of a pro gambler-now retired named Charlie Firpo.(Bud Spencer)Charlie won't help Johnny, so Johnny steals Charlies transfer truck and he then agrees to help him.They both find out that they are half brothers. Johnny convinces Charlie that thier father is "Blind" and need to raise $ 100,000 for an eye operation. So Charlie becomes a gambler again just to raise the money.
I laughed alot at this movie! Especially when it showed Bud Spencer dressed up as a baby! I nearly died when I saw that!
It was good but not one of Terence and Bud's best comedies! I suggest you one of these: Crimebusters, All the way boys, Watch out, Were mad! or their most famous film "They Call me Trinity".

- GoofsDuring the race car scene the background mismatches at least a dozen times with interchanging shots. For instance, Bud Spencer and Terence are supposed to lead the race, but when inter cut with interior car shots from their point of view you can see other vehicles passing them.
