    Bud Spencer without Terence Hill.

    Bud Spencer, who I hardly hate is very boring in this expensive looking film. It's a shame the producer couldn't throw in Terence Hill. Some amusing moments, and good stunt work does keep the film going, but there is more slow spots along the way. The film has an annoying song done by Oliver Onions. Recommended if you like Spencer's film.
