- Quotes
Fred: ...And who gets it?
Norma: Well, why not ask the Captain?
Fred: No, I mean who gets to go to bed with you? Do I?
Tony: Or, Do I?
Norma: You both may!
Fred: What a sport you are! One of us gets it first by my rules. I'm against threesomes!
Norma: Oh, but after I screw you, I can screw him. Bring a couple of friends if you want to. You take a woman to bed, and what do you give to her? When you reach your extent of possibility, I mean after only one, or two or three orgasms - we women have more in us than you think - I'm prepared to go all night.
[Fred and Tony mutter incoherently and make for the door]
Norma: My dear cocksmen, we girls have to work hard for the inadequate performance we get. We play to your masculine conceit, and make you feel like supermen.
[Tony lights Norma a cigarette]
Norma: Then you invite us to meals with a hundred courses, and you're through after the appetizer.
Fred: Well, listen to Mae West!
Norma: Only if we love someone do we ever get cheated. Then we don't mind how much he fails in bed. I just don't happen to love you.
Fred: Okay, okay - so we go to bed together. Who gets it first?
Norma: As you say, you go together!
Fred: No way!

Marc Porel and Ray Lovelock are two young coppers who trust each other so much they share a flat, ride tandem on a motorbike, and make inappropriate sexual remarks to their bosses' secretary. They also love a bit of police brutality, as seen when they get involved in a motorbike chase at the start of the film (two robbers try and steal a purse from a woman who won't let it go, even though she's dragged along the road into a lamppost and has her face stomped). After a lengthy, exciting chase, they cause the robbers to crash, and Marc finishes one off by breaking his neck.
Their boss Adolfo Celi seems to put up with their antics, even if he doesn't agree with them. They are all after Mr Big, some guy called Pasquali, and have just set up a special squad in order to track him down, but when the guy who gets eaten by a ridiculous giant alien in the film Contamination gets gunned down, it gives our fellas an excuse to go and shag the bad guy's sister! These guys are so close that Ray Lovelock doesn't sloppy seconds after Marc Porel is finished! Nothing says masculine than not being bothered about stirring another man's custard.
I'm sure this must be some sort of parody but then it's hard to tell in Italian cinema. Every criminal who comes up against the two cops gets killed, including a gang just about to rob a bank (six executions on the streets before a crime's committed?) and remarkably sexist even for an Italian film, plus all the subtle hints that the two cops might be gay. The most telling scene is at the start when the robbers run over a guide dog and everyone just leaves the poor blind guy standing in the middle of the road.
Who knows? I enjoyed it anyway. Bruno Corazzari gets his eyeball poked out too.
