"Now, this is a great film, much better than "Odds and Evens" and slightly better than "Go for It".....terence hill and bud spencer's better movies...the plot is 2 guys, matt kirby and wilbur walsh are sick of having no money and they are too lazy to get a job...so they want to rob a crocery store. When they jump in the back door of the building, they jump into the police recruitment office....pretty good movie to get people to like terence hill and bud spencer, but their 2 best movies are "Watch out, We're Mad!" (this is thier BEST movie no matter what! ) and of course, thier silliest outing, "I'm for the Hippopotamus". It's too bad these great films werent released in the united states!"
One of Spencer/Hill's funniest films!! A must for fans!

"Non-fans may find this film too corny compared to the Trinity films, but that's why they are not fans! For me, this film is definitely one of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer's best. The opening sequences are priceless, and are followed by episode after episode of hilarious slapstick. Only at some parts toward the end does the pacing of the film feel a bit slack, but this is a film with everything fans could want from a modern Spencer/Hill film."
One of the greatest films ever

"Terence hill & Bud spencer star in this hilarious comedy about a runaway sailor (Hill) and an out of work fat bloke (Spencer), they meet whilst looking for work at the docks and soon get into all kinds of funny situations, they end up bungling a robbery at a supermarket, joining the police force in the process, then smash a drug smuggling ring. The film is funny throughout. Highly reccomended. END"
Excelent print from Somerville House

"Somerville House has aquired a near perfect print of Crime Busters. Lets hope Somerville House will follow this with more quality Hill/Spencer films. For those of you who dont know Hill and Spencer - Crime Busters is typical - A modest budget, with the general mood of a Tom amd Jerry cartoon, (Hill = Jerry, Spencer = Tom, the bad guys = a multitude of Elmer Fudds). Lots of funny gags, "good natured" fist fights, bean eating, property destruction, hammer fist hits (by Bud), grunts, glares, automobile damage and goofy acrobats (by Hill) - and no sex or bad language. Great for kids,fun for adults.

Entertaining but very 70's

"This Bud Spencer/Terrence Hill movie is another classic spaghetti movie. The quality could be better but it is entertaining in that slapstick kind of way. It actually has a story and plot which makes it easier to follow than some of their other movies. Bottom line - you will like it if you like these two humorous cowboys in action."
