Double Trouble

Firstly I would like to confess that I love the duo comic Hill-Spencer since my teenage years, here in Brazil they are absolutely famous and quite often their movies were aired at TV, even in my widest dream I never supposed one day has all movies of them to watch anytime that I wanna do, this time they living in America and with strong similarity with two Brazilian odd millionaires, who are in trouble with their contenders there, so they offer a million bucks plus an additional of 500 thousand to accomplish the mission on Brazil during just one week.

Those cousin seemingly are sissy and snnoty as always they really are, the job is a piece of cake for ours heroes, at Rio de Janeiro they are treat like kings, however has an unexpected side effects when they went at low degree harbor area, where they had a fight that appears on newspaper, scratching the acquitted reputation of their sponsors, also with harsh social behavior, further attending football match, samba school having attentive with those rolling samba girls, worst when Hill deflowers a platonic love of his clone, priceless moment.

Apart the main casting, has many old acquaintance Brazilian actors in small roles, following the successful formula of previous movies, with tons of punches, slapping, breaking all around and beating the bad guys, car chase and even eating black beans, awesome second last picture of Hill-Spencer!!

Resume:

First watch: 1993 / How many: 4 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 7.25.

Funny Hill-Spencer film with humor, joyful, mirth and amusement . It's an entertaining film with the notorious duo posing as millionaires in sunny Rio and full of abundant kicks , punches , leaps and bounds . The picture deals with ours intimate friends , Terence Hill and Bud Spencer and they both find out that are inseparable partners taking on numerous adventures . This action/comedy deals with Greg Wonder (Bud Spencer) and Elliot Vance (Terence Hill) , two characters utterly different . Wonder is a bouncing man recently out prison who plays saxophone at a jazz bar in New Orleans , while Vance is an adventurer who pilots little aircrafts . Both of whom are hired by a secret organization to replace two soft-spoken millionaire cousins named Antonio (Spencer) and Bastiano (Hill) De Coimbra living in Brazil and who look exactly like them . The friends learn their effeminate and cocky manners , training themselves for replacing and wearing elegant Brazilian clothes. At the end takes place an amusing confrontation among Hill-Spencer , theirs shy doubles against a group of well-armed mercenaries .

The film contains action , fist-play , humor with tongue-in-cheek and is pretty bemusing . It's an entertaining film with enjoyable comedy in the wake of Trinity and Bambino , both of them playing a double character . 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¨ . This time Miami is substituted by Rio De Janeiro , as the picture shows typical images from Rio as the usual Christ of Corcovado , Samba parades and of course the famous Carnaval . In Europe these movies are shown on TV very frequently and are part of growing up on children and adolescents , however in USA are quite unknown . They're plenty of humor and based on diverse personality and physical differences among them . This one packs silly comedy , tongue-in-cheek, slapstick and the habitual struggles neither blood , nor violence, besides including some pursuits . Agreeable casting with a likable Terence Hill and a grumpy Bud Spencer , playing amusingly their customary roles as always. There appears the nasty Nello Pazzafini , an ordinary from Peplum and Spahetti , though isn't Ricardo Pizzuti, Hill-Spencer's habitual antagonist and whom receives the knocks and kicks . Adequate and colorful cinematography By Silvano Ippoliti , Sergio Corbucci's usual . Commercial , jolly musical score by Micolizzi , including Samba songs and in Guido and Mauricio De Angelis style . The motion picture is professionally directed by Enzo Barboni or E. B. Clucher . He was a prestigious cameramen including classic Spaghetti Western ( Django, Goobye Texas , Hellbenders ), but with the hit of ¨Trinity is my name¨ left it and turned to film-making , and directed the sequel ¨Trinity is still my name¨ and the third outing ¨Trinity and Bambino, the legend lives on¨, plus other Hill and Spencer vehicles in solitary as ¨Renegado Jim¨, ¨Even angels eat beans¨ and ¨El Magnifico¨ . The film is absolutely hilarious for Hill and Spencer enthusiasts and ranks among their less famous but most representative ones ; a must see for all their fans. Rating : Mediocre but entertaining .

I have been a great fan of the movies with Bud Spencer and Terence Hill since my childhood. Bud & Terence are extremely popular in Austria and Germany and their movies, which are shown on TV very frequently, are part of growing up here. I've seen every single film with the two multiple times, and they all seem to become funnier with each viewing. "Non C'è Due Senza Quattro" aka. "Double Trouble" of 1984 is one of their movies that are on TV all the time. And thank God for that! One of the most typical and funniest Bud and Terence movies, this is definitely another hilarious cult flick with the typical crude humor and constant fistfights that made our favorite duo of proletarian, constantly fighting drifters famous. This time both of them play a double role. Stuntman Elliot Vance (Terence Hill) and sax player Greg Wonder (Bud Spencer) are offered 1,5 million dollars for a job in Rio De Janeiro. Eliott and Greg happen to look exactly like the Brazilian billionaire cousins Bastiano (Terence) and Antonio (Bud) Coimbra De La Coronilla Azevedo. The snobbish billionaires are in mortal fear that someone is out to kill them, and are therefore to be replaced by their proletarian counterparts without table manners, Elliot and Greg, whose hobbies include heavy drinking, fistfights and all sorts of rowdy behavior... I have seen all Spencer/Hill flicks several times, and "Double Trouble" ranks among their most famous- and most representative ones. The humor of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill flicks is probably not everybody's taste, but I sure dig it, and I can watch their films all the time and be perfectly happy doing so! "Double Trouble" is a hilarious film with the typical Spencer/Hill feeling, and a must-see for all their fans!

This was sadly the last good movie Bud and Terence did together, but even then it was obvious Bud Spencer was no longer as fit as he used to be. In previous movies you could really believe that the power in his punches could really have the effect they did. In this one though, he appears sluggish and seems to lack that power he had in previous movies. Age was surely taking its toll on him physically, which is probably why we only got one more movie after this one before they called it quits.

Both men played dual roles in this movie set in Brazil and I have to say they were surprisingly delightful as two toffee nosed, upper-class wimps. It showed just what comedy skills they had and they could do more than just play tough guys.

Classic line in this movie by Bud Spencer "I AM my dietitian!"

Bud Spencer and Terence Hill are well known as a couple of tough guys, but also as an always loveable and truly relatable comedic duo. I love all of their movies, and in my view, this is the very best of the 15-20 (!) movies they made together.

Brilliant, laid-back humor, light hearted but relatable, with a subtle undertone of social commentary (the tough, poor and streetwise characters vs their cowardly, overly anxious zillionaire counterparts).

The sarcastic jokes are also what make this one of their many great comedies my favourite. The absolute gem is when they are ready to have dinner when Tango (the bad guy) and his gang arrive and want to provoke a fight, when at one point which Hill's character says: "The fact that he calls himself Tango in the land of Samba, tells us what a complete idiot he is." - and then, of course, the usual "Spencer & Hill vs 50 other guys" fighting breaks out..... GOLD!

If you're a fan of their movies, this is an absolute must see! If not, this is your best shot of becoming a fan for life. Great humor, pure unspoiled FUN. What more could we ask for from such a movie? 10/10, no question.
