TERENCE HILL AND BUD SPENCER ARE FINALLY BACK!

Terence and Bud, after 9 years, finally made another movie together! It was just what I expected! Fights, romantic sub plot, and beans. The plot is Travis and Moses mother wants them to come home for christmas, but theres a problem. Moses wont go back to his ma's house because years ago, she let all the horses he stole go free. I liked this movie! The best scene is where Moses is going to get hanged and when they pull the lever the gallow falls apart! It couldnt support Moses' weight! Not as good as a small few of thier movies like Im for the Hippopotamus and Watch out Were Mad but still its a good hill/spencer outing. Supposedly this is supposed to be the third "Trinity" movie, but due to legal hassles, it couldnt be done. Its been 6 years and I'm still waiting for Terence and Bud to make a new comedy! My rating is 7/10.
