Miami Supercops

I've known this rowdy Italian duo since I first saw them in "Watch Out, We're Mad" (1974). This film was the penultimate one they made together... and it was the second time they played American police officers since "Crime Busters" (1977); Well, this movie is honestly the weakest they've ever made, and why is that? Two thirds of the action scenes have been replaced by guns drawn. Bud's "slaps" and Terence's punches disappear almost completely from the film when the two protagonists draw their guns and threaten the staff. And then where is the grace? This is when they stop being rowdy... you only see 2 or 3 moments in which they "let loose" like they do until they draw their pistols and the magic is lost (and don't tell me it's because of how old they were, since 9 years later they returned in "Troublemakers" (1994), and "they let go" as in the old days...). And to top it off, the soundtrack only has one musical theme that is repeated endlessly throughout the film. In the filmography of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill this is their weakest film.

'Miami Supercops' is the spaghettiest body-cop mystery thriller ever made. Thoug it is not pure thriller, rather a toungue in cheek and thoroughly self aware parody of the popular genre. It uses established formula and uses every cliche possible in the book, but somehow manage to feel original and cliche free. The movie is silly and most of the action is over the top and implausible. Besides the charismatic leading duo the implausibility of the cartoonish action is the main charm of the movie. 'Miami Supercops' is not the best, or even funniest from Terence Hill/Bud Spencer, but it will offer amusing hour and a half of entertainment.

Not much of a goodbye for Terence Hill and Bud Spencer! This last Hill/Spencer movie by Corbucci is really bad. It's slow, badly written and the music is plain awful. It's rather contrived and there's nothing much to fetch hear except ear ache from the synthesizer music. Jee how bad it is! Go watch Samurai Cop instead, and have a blast!

Why was this comedy spoof on 70s and 80s cop shows so awesome? It was because it was more subtle, yet effective than similar heavy slapstick spoofs. It was a laugh a minute. This movie totally got the corny phony machoism of these tv shows I grew up to the "t". Don't get me wrong. I like CHIPs and Miami Vice, but these film does such a great job getting down the square comments by the officers, the overdramaticization, and the cool, witticism that made these shows so much fun, and yet also very silly. The whole movie used every cliche from the standard 70s and 80s cop show. A lot of reviewers seem to have missed how well written this movie was, and because it was not outrageous, like say the Ace Ventura films, it was even more effective at satire. And the nearly clone theme, a parody of Jan Hammer's Miami Vice theme was also great.

Terence Hill & Bud Spencer was a valid duo in this movie as per their role. Their screen presence in whole movie was enjoyable especially Terrence fools bud Spencer for convincing him to come to Miami. Stunt sequences as usual rocking with that indian character. It's really surprising that plastic surgery concept was there even in 80s. Overall it's good action comedy cop movie.

Miami Supercops is a broad action comedy featuring the popular pairing of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer in their final collaboration with director Bruno Corbucci. This film isn't one of their finest moments, but it is a brisk enough comedy film, just perhaps not quite as funny as others made by the stars. The film is once again set in Florida (as the title would suggest) so expect lots of expansive, sun-bleached scenery. Hill and Spencer play FBI agents (rather unlikely, I have to say) who go in search for a criminal gang responsible for stealing millions of dollars. Along the way there's time for some cheesy romance and lots of comic interplay between the characters, contrasting the gruff and gigantic Spencer with the handsome, almost fey, Hill. The action outweighs the comedy in this one, but it's all done rather cheaply and doesn't really impress as much as it should. The funniest part of the film is the warehouse shoot-out at the climax, where they save all the best gags and physical humour.

I am a big fan of these two guys! After seeing this, it is clear where the creators of the Miami Vice TV series got the idea for the opening title sequence (very similar score, same type of video clips :)

Vote isn't for this movie, but the original team of hill and Spencer in the Trinity days, cm-on you got to admit to actually make fun of the Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns, and still have some good gunfighting, it was great. If your looking for cinematography, sound mixing, etc... Go to your local art Indie film house, where it will look beautiful and make no sense at all. But its so avant guard, kinda like feces on a mat called art. Please don't waste your time with my attacking me personally as seen in the past on this board, its a matter of opinion, I don't like art type films, my personal opinion. If you do, and can understand them, then maybe we'll go sometime and I can learn to understand and enjoy, in fact I am always looking to broaden my horizons, in fact just ever get a chance to watch Dexter on show-time, now that will make you think.

this movie was the first ever i saw at the drive-in and even if i was 7 years old , it was an exceptionable film.even if it is an 80's,you have to look further than special effects to like or love this movie.the acting is simple , so is the storyline , if you saw the first one , and the fight scenes are human.it's the best of the film of the duo,and no one should destroy them before seeing the rest.you have to accept the fact of the budget they had and also the music in wave at the time.the in sync of the fight was a choreography to make ballet cheap.and do not forget that it was shot in Italian first,they had to transcript all of the scenario.i just think it was a gem.

This film does not show Bud and Terence at their best. The combination of awful acting, awful wigs and superbly irritating synthesizer music all combine to make this film an effort in endurance to stay watching. I'm not sure where this comes in the Bud/Terence line up of movies, but, much like the early plot where the two characters team up again for one final mission, this movie has the feel of a movie made after the heyday of the pair. Perhaps even a film made to reunite the two actors in the hope of regaining the magic of the pairing. Whatever the reason, it doesn't work. The film is a mess and the acting by the non-principals is just plain dire. You know the sort of thing - advertisement acting quality. Add in the lamentably obvious hairpieces, which might as well have had neon "WIG!" signs above each of them and dubbing which, whilst OK in the main, only serves to remind you that it is, in fact, dubbing and you have the recipe for an 80's movie disaster. Unfortunately, the disaster becomes a calamity of epic proportions when the music is factored in. Some bad films benefit from a synthesizer soundtrack - Hawk the Slayer, for instance - but here, the repetitive and, it has to be said, mindless chord sequences only jar the nerves. Anyone who's ever played an arcade machine from the eighties will quickly recognize the type of "music" that becomes increasingly annoying the more you have to listen to it whilst trying to complete that difficult level. As for the plot, I was too busy gaping open-mouthed at all the wrongness on display to really pay it much heed. Some hokum about the pairing teaming up again to complete a previously unfinished mission......hmmm....the arcade machine analogy again. And, much like those "difficult-to-complete" games, this movie depends for its completion on how many mental "dimes" you have left to put into it. It really is an exercise in endurance. I expect fans of the duo will like it nonetheless, but it isn't a patch on "My Name is Nobody" and, like so many other films of the time, it really shows its age now. Summary: Mindless "Miami Vice wannabee" music, hack acting, awful wigs and so-so dubbing. Not recommended except for the most stalwart of fans.
