    Funny, unforgettable comedy.
    If somebody thinks that all the Bud Spencer films are the same, he or she may be right, due to the fact that almost all of them contain a lot of blows (with the hand and with the fist)...

    But that´s not everything in a film starring Bud Spencer. There´s the plot (yes, there´s a plot indeed!!!), there are the other actors, and there´s the perhaps more important element in a movie, the Music.

    In this concrete movie, the music is essential to make it amusing and I would dare to say unforgettable... One must watch this film to understand what I´m saying.

    The main title track composed by Guido & Maurizio de Angelis, called "Sphinx" is just great!!.

    Well, here´s another movie you should not miss.

    Believe me...
