CRIME BUSTERS is another amiable pairing for those two giants of Italian comedy action, Terence Hill and Bud Spencer. This was once again filmed in Florida, like so many other of their adventures, and sees them playing a couple of low-rent crooks who through a series of bizarre misadventures end up becoming cops and going around on motorbike patrol, tackling bad guys at every turn.Any fan of the comedy duo will know what to expect from this movie. There's a lot of character humour, mostly at Bud Spencer's expense, and the vestiges of a plot here and there to tie together what is in essence a string of action set-pieces. There's a notable amount of action in this one, kicking off right at the outset, with chases and sprawling fights dotted throughout. The fight in the bowling alley and the bit in the cafe where the guys pretend to be disabled are the highlights for me. Luciano Catenacci has a nice turn as the gang leader.

It's like a pulp novel; cheap, short, and droll. I loved the simple plot, the non-stop comic situations, the funny fistfights, and the beautiful girl in the black bikini, rather the idea of 2 beautiful girls wearing bikinis at home !The English dubbed version was close to perfect. Originally, I didn't know that the 2 lead actors were dubbed unless I visited IMDb after watching the movie !However, 2 factors stand alone. Firstly, the scene in the stadium which looked big and distinct. And secondly, Mr. Bud Spencer. That guy can steal the camera by just raising an eyebrow or smiling wrathfully. Without saying anything he owns the scene. This is a gift a few actors have. Actually this round he left nothing to his fellow Terence Hill. As for the "I hated" category. There was some clear artistic poorness. I impute that to the lazy direction and the nearly destitute production. For instance, look at the first scenes in the wharf; all of Spencer's fights, Hill's fights, and else are shot from the same angle, by one camera, and in more or less the same place ! Add to that how the movie lacks any explosion, any car chase, and any satisfying climax (that final fistfight is truly disappointing and leaves you hungry for more !). I deemed the matter of running into 2 crutches in the bar so forced. The writing there was too sluggish to tighten the next situation (of punks fighting the leads as handicapped) in less fabricated way. In terms of badness, or in fact poorness, I hated Hated HATED the music score. This movie had only one piece of music, used it sickeningly time after time after time after time, pushing you to scream even after the movie ended where it would haunt you insistently !All in all, this is a Bud Spencer movie. He ate up everyone and everything in it. This proves that having him alone guarantees being damn watchable. Sorry Hill, nothing personal !

Matt Kirby and Wilbur Walsh meet each other when looking for a job in a harbor. They are both rejected in a rude way. This leads to the first slapstick fightscene.Because they still don't have a job they decide to go for the quick money by robbing a supermarket. In a snackbar they meet two cops. Just for fun Matt and Wilbur tell that they want to be a cop. By mistake they run into a policestation when intending to rob the supermarket. The same two cops are there and get Matt and Wilbur a job by the police. Being a cop they meet al sorts of criminals, but when they are never fighting when they are in their uniform.The red line in the movie is a man from Shanghai. First Matt meets him in the harbor, later they run into him when being a cop. Then they accidently meet his family, and at the end they solve a case where he was part of.It's an easy to watch and funny movie, just for a rainy sunday afternoon.

Just go watch that movie. It has the best opening scene a movie ever had. It is funny, it is entertaining, it is full of action... It is BUD SPENCER and TERENCE HILL !!!
