DOUBLE TROUBLE is another vehicle for Terence Hill and Bud Spencer, that lovable duo of the Italian comedy action genre. The twist in this one is that it wasn't filmed in Florida (for a change) but rather Brazil, although in all other aspects the story and style are exactly the same. The ludicrous plot of this film sees the twosome playing the usual lovable buffoons who are employed to act as stand-ins for a couple of rich but incompetent aristocrats when the latter are targeted by criminals.After that, DOUBLE TROUBLE plays out exactly as you'd expect for the genre. There's some cheesy romance and emoting and a lot of comic hijinks which don't disappoint. Best of all is the string of electrifying fight scenes which ably mix comedy and action to fine effect. The bits in which the guys team up to brawl in bars and the like and end up trashing loads of scenery are a delight to behold. As with other Hill/Spencer films, you know that the family-friendly flavour means that things will never get too violent or adult in nature. The special effects used in the scenes in which the doubles meet are outstanding and the finale makes fine use of the mistaken identity gag.

A jazz musician and a stunt man are the spitting image of two millionaire brothers. They take the job to replace them in Rio de Janeiro when someone plans to assassinate them. Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill reunite for a fun comedy where they play 2 roles and they go against a whole army which is easily the best scene from the whole movie especially that scene where Spencer kept slapping this dude this isn't one of their best movies that they did together but it's a tone of fun and it's not boring it's just that the jokes are a hit and a miss honestly this is still a great movie that is funny and a lot of fun if you love this 2 together you will not be disappointed. Double the Fun, Double the Action. 7.5/10

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!

Our duo is back again. This time, Bud Spencer is a criminal out on parole, who gets an offer of $50,000 if he accompanies them to New York. Terrence Hill plays Elliot Vance, a stunt man. He gets the same offer. There, in New York, Spencer and Hill meet under the usual funny circumstances. They are offered a whole lot more money if they agree to stand-in for two Brazilian millionaires, who look exactly like them (also played by Spencer and Hill). It turns out they have been specifically chosen by a company who specializes in finding look-alikes. Someone is trying to kill these millionaires. These two rugged men replace the soft-spoken millionaire Brazilian gentlemen, and lots of hilarious antics follow. They get offered even more money if they take care of the bad guys.This movie is absolutely hilarious and filled with laughs. They slip right into the role of replacing the rich guys, and take advantage of it in every way. They also beat up a bunch of bad guys along the way, Spencer and Hill style. A definite must-see!
