This is a funny spoof about several Spaghetti clichés with relentless comedy and parodying usual Western events that sometimes becomes stale . This is a good entertaining juvenile for Bud Spencer fans , as he's delightful in a fraternal story . It packs action, fist-play, sniping, slapdash , humor with tongue-and-cheek and is quite amusing . It deals with Coburn (Bud Spencer or Carlo Perdesoli) an insouciant , bumbling drifter who breaks out from prison and attempts to right wrongs . He embarks on his getaway and he gets stuck a ten years old little boy (Renato) . The boy's uncle dies, leaving a house , useless land to the child but is actually plenty of petroleum that is coveted by a priest-sheriff-judge (Francisco Rabal) and his hoodlums (Salvatore Borghese , Riccardo Pizzuti) . Hiram Coburn oblivious to risks and hopeless odds endure mishaps adventures and he join forces with the child to rout nasty gunmen . Meanwhile, the gunfighter Sonny Bronston (Jack Palance) going out the chase of Coburn to marry his sister (Dany Saval) and the baddies want to take the rich lands.This release has some cool and several hilarious moments , though the Terence Hill-Bud Spencer duo films are much better , such as ¨They call me trinity¨, ¨Trinity is still my name¨ and ¨Truoblemakers¨ . Good for laughs as well as lots of shootouts and fist-play . The film isn't always good , sometimes is fresh and diverting and on a couple of memorable occasions , it's frankly delicious . The flick belong to the sub-genre that Bud Spencer played in which he has as partners some sympathetic children , as ¨Supersheriff¨, ¨Banana Joe¨, ¨Flatfoot¨ and ¨Aladdin¨. The film displays a wide plethora of secondary actors usually seen in Spaghetti genre as Sal Borghese , Luciano Pigozzi or Alan Collins , Robert Camardiel as an old drunk and Ricardo Pizzuti , the latter usual in Hill-Spencer flicks . The movie displays innumerable jokes , laughter , and slapstick , though relies heavily about the continuous relationship between the tired gunslinger and the orphaned boy . Enjoyable but silly screenplay Ernesto Gastaldi and Rafael Azcona . Catching musical score with noisy songs by Luis Enrique Bacalov who subsequently would win Oscar for ¨The postman¨ . This motion picture was professionally directed by Maurizio Luzidi . Although Maurizio couldn't be deemed an "A"-list director, his movies had a professionalism and a verve that many of those made by his fellow B directors lacked . He was a fine editor and also filmed detective thrillers , Giallo , comedy and even a horror film or two . He directed two Western more as ¨La grand Rapina del West¨ with George Hilton and Jack Betts and ¨Pecos¨ with Robert Woods , and even made films with international cast as ¨Sweet people¨ with Roger Moore and Stacy Keach and ¨The last chance¨ with Elli Wallach and Ursula Andress . His greatest conquest was the edition of ¨Don Quijote¨ by Orson Welles . Rating : 5,5 . Acceptable , passable but average . It is a middling Western story in which gibing the Spaghetti genre , plenty of fights and shoot'em up . As the director Mauricio Lucidi is uninspired and the ending is pretty predictable .

I like spaghetti westerns, and I also like Bud Spencer movies. So I thought I would like this spaghetti western starring Bud Spencer (as well as Jack Palance.) Unfortunately, I have to report that even if you like spaghetti westerns and/or Bud Spencer, chances are you'll find this movie a bore like I did. The movie has very little story, and it moves at an unbelievably slow crawl. The comedy is mostly lame, though Bud's instant charisma lifts the humor from level zero, even though Bud seems to be doing this movie in his sleep. Jack Palance gnashes his teeth so much that he seems to be in pain doing this movie. And the director often shoots the actors so that the tops of their heads are cut off at the top of the screen! (The pan-and-scan presentation of the movie makes things even worse.) Not recommended.

This fitfully amusing Spaghetti western comedy embraces the time-honored concept of incongruity as the source of its laughs and shuns overt shoot'em up violence where the corpses outnumber the horses."It Can Be Done, Amigo" opens with our barrel-chested protagonist Hiram Coburn (Bud Spencer of "They Call Me Trinity") sitting atop his horse sprawled out on the ground and trying to convince the steed that it must eventually rise. "How the hell did I ever get stuck with a loser like you?" Hiram complains, "Hell, you feel tired and you drop to the ground like you was dead. It ain't natural in a horse. What do you take me for? You got the idea I'm going to carry you? There's no more water, the sun's hot, and this ain't no place for lunch." Traditionally, horses in westerns dating back to the 1930s and the popular B-westerns of the day depicted the horse as a better friend to the hero than a dog. The horse was always dependable and usually got the hero out of trouble. On the other hand, Coburn's horse—Rufus—is anything but helpful. This reversal of the convention of the intelligent horse is the first example of humor in this western.The second example of humor is Hiram himself. As played by the big, lovable lug Bud Spencer, Hiram is an off-beat western hero. First, he wears no gun. Instead, he relies on his 'Hulk-like' fists to decimate the opposition. Second, the running gag throughout "It Can Be Done, Amigo" is that Hiram carefully puts on his spectacles before he slam bangs his way through opponents in fistfights. Normally, combatants remove their eyewear before they wade into each other with fists galore. Hiram is virtually indestructible.Once Hiram convinces Rufus to arise, they run across several wild mustangs and the horses follow our hero until he runs into a group of hardcases that decide that Hiram has stolen the horses. They are about to hang him for horse theft when young Chip Anderson (Renato Cestiè) and his uncle—an attorney—appear on the scene in a wagon, and the uncle demands that Hiram deserves a trial. The vigilantes still plan to hang Hiram. Little do they know that Hiram has a guardian angel in the person of Sonny Bronston (Jack Palance of "Shane") who intends to see that Hiram marries his sister Mary (Dany Saval) to clear her good name before he shoots him. Consequently, anybody that tries to do evil to Hiram incurs Sonny's wrath. Again, incongruity lends itself to the humor of this lightweight western. The first time that Hiram sees Sonny, our hero describes Sonny to his horse Rufus as "a man with bullets where his brains out to be." Hiram escapes from the calaboose when some outlaws blow it up to rescue one of their own. A vigilante tries to shoot Hiram, but Sonny shoots the rifle out of the guy's hands.All of this serves as a set-up to Hiram as he rides off into the desert on Rufus and stumbles across the lawyer strewn on his back in the desert and left for dead. The dying attorney plays on Hiram's sentimentality to take care of young Chip and take him to a town called Westland where he owns a broken down ranch. Reluctantly, Hiram accepts this mission. During the scene with the dying lawyer, Hiram repeatedly closes the man's eyes so he can die, but the attorney keeps opening them and issuing Hiram more instructions.Once they reach Westland, Hiram and Chip meet a man who acts as the preacher and the town lawman and this character tries to buy Chip's land for a $1000 dollars, but the boy refuses to sell. In town, Hiram is mystified by a man who buys up buckets of dirt and eats them. Initially, Hiram believes that the guy must be searching for gold. However, it isn't gold, but oil. Eventually, Hiram is forced to marry Bronston's sister Mary. During a big celebration at their house, a fistfight erupts and during the brawl, oil spouts from the ground. As everybody but Chip and Hiram ride off, Hiram decides to become the man of the house, puts on his spectacles, and enters the house to make a baby with Mary.No, "It Can Be Done, Amigo" is only about a third as funny as the "Trinity" movies, but it provides an interesting change-of-pace for blood splattered Spaghetti westerns and the production values are solid. Bud Spencer gives his usual, disgusted with everybody performance and he has a running gag where he challenges all comers to wager a bet that the bottom of a can is longer compared with the length of the can.One thing that does stand out magnificently about this Italian western is the spectacular orchestral score by Luis Enríquez Bacalov who later won an Oscar in for the 1996 movie "Ii Postino." Bacalov also wrote another beautiful score for the Lee Van Cleef Italian western "The Grand Duel." Maurizio Lucidi began his career as an editor on the muscleman epic "Goliath and the Dragon" with Mark Forest and went on to cut the Tony Anthony shoot'em up "A Stranger In Town" as well as the Gordon Scott western "The Tramplers." "It Can Be Done, Amigo" isn't the best Bud Spencer movie, but neither is it the worse, settling somewhere in between.

Ivan Coburn (Spencer) deflowered the sister of the fastest gun around, Sonny.(Jack Palance) Sonny wants Coburn to marry his sister so she wont live in shame, and then Sonny wants to kill Coburn. During all this Coburn has to take care of a small boy named Chip Anderson whos uncle died from a gun shot. I laughed alot during this movie....many fights and one liners....This movie was much better than I thought it would be. I think it's for Terence Hill and Bud Spencer fans only...or if you like the whole sphagetti western thing. There is something unusal in this film....there's a guy who pays 2 dollars for a bucket if dirt..and then he eats it!!??? (he's looking for soil with oil in it.) The start to this is also funny.....Coburn complains to his horse through the whole credits because it wont move, but when he sees a man with a gun the horse jumps to it's feet!My vote is 6/10. A good movie for people who like "They call me Trinity" style movies!
