...altrimenti ci arrabbiamo!

I first saw this film by accident, one afternoon on TV when I couldn't go where I planned to. Since then, I saw it maybe a dozen times. While as I grew up, I could recognise that all Bud Spencer & Terence Hill movies have the same basic plot, and are low-cost productions, the better ones continued to shine - this one shone even more. It is easily the best and funniest Europe's seventies-eighties Laurel&Hardy produced. It's the music, the faces, the slapstick fights, the over-serious baddies, the strange feel of being lost in an urban jungle (I just now learnt it was Madrid!), the music, all with the right chemistry, and of course Paganini.

Bud and Terence singing in a choir at the same time as trying to evade a hit-man trying to shoot them from the gallery has fairly often had me laughing so hard that it began to hurt. If you ever get a chance to see this film, do it.

This was the first Terence Hill and Bud Spencer movie I ever saw, and remains as the best to me. If you don't laugh and enjoy its fights, gags, and lines, then surely something must be wrong with your sense of humor. The Dune Buggy theme is the perfect score for the action. It has all what a fan can expect in a Hill-Spencer movie: action, fun, good score, good punchs, and a very simple but effective plot. A must-see!

This is the first film with Bud Spencer and Terence Hill I have seen and it is their best film too. Unforgettable scenes like singing in a choir, race in eating hot dogs and drinking beers, opening rally- cross race or fight in the gym or in private club between the balloons. I cannot forgot the fine music too.

If you've always wanted to go to Italy but are intimidated by its art and culture, rest assured: it's not all 600-year old churches and opera. Italy has rednecks, as illustrated by this mind-boggling Terence Hill/Bud Spencer comedy that has to be seen to be believed! "Watch Out, We're Mad" is a gloriously silly action farce about two garage mechanics who win a dune buggy in a race, only to see it vandalized by the local mob(Mafia or Camorra?) The resulting silliness is truly inspired, reminding one of the low-brow British comedy/variety shows formerly syndicated on late-night TV ("The Two Ronnies," "Benny Hill.") Paty Shepherd is lovely as Terence's romantic interest, John Sharp brings a discordant note as the mob boss with a Cockney accent (in Italy?) and the always interesting Donald Pleasence is a mad German psychiatrist who eggs on the mob boss to become more evil. Great fun for children of all ages.

Along the comedy/action lines of the "Trinity" and "Nobody" series of films. Another successful joining of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer in what has become their trademark light-hearted he-men with the heart of gold. A family favourite in my household, and has a very infectious theme song (Dune Buggy, by Oliver Onions - don't say I didn't warn you). Watch Out We're Mad has the beautifully choreographed fight scenes one comes to expect with the Hill/Spencer movies, and the 'Beer & Hot dog contest' are reminiscent of the earlier movies, too. Bud Spencer is brilliant as the tobacco intolerant heart of gold 'Ben', and Terence Hill as the eager 'Kid'. The only disappointment is the somewhat wooden acting of Donald Pleasance as the bad guy bosses psychiatrist. If you enjoy the Hill/Spencer mix of comedy, action, gluttony and irony, this film is a must see

This film was very good and funny. I think guys like Terence and Bud are missing from action films today. The best thing about the film is of course Terence and Bud. They seem to be some nice guys who are in the middle of some trouble and manage to get out of it on their own. What I like about the fighting scenes in the film is that it is very easy to watch unlike films today where there are about 3 cuts per second or something. In the film the bad guys are stereotypes, a filthy mob boss, Nazi doctor and some stupid assistants who do everything wrong. And the good guys, always happy, do everything wright and are always happy, just the way it should be. But altogether this film was an action film at it's very best.
