favorite FLATFOOT film?


i can't say wich one i liked best, becouse i saw them between quite a time gap, 2 like a hundred years ago, and then a 3rd more recently.
But i never got to see the whole 3rd "Flatfoot In Hong Kong" becouse, believe it or not, the tape ended before the movie was finnished, and some of these old Bud Spencer movies are not easy to find these days, so maybe i'll never get to see the ending.
this "Flatfoot" was actally one of the first, if not THE first, movie i ever owned.


one gray morning in my home,
strangest feeling came along,
a vision from a time, long ago,
in another place, in days of old,
this strange mysterius feeling made it seem like,
like i was cought in a passed time light,
a time many years ago, when i was just a boy,
when the world looked diffrent, and there were other people that i know,
i saw faces and places that are no longer here,
i was trapped in a time set, that plowed back throw so many changes, and so many years,
i was lost in history, and tried to get back to the future, but didn't know how or where,
and in the time trip, i realized, that you've always been there,
from child hand to grown man,
now that you're gone, i miss you all that i can. can't you understand.

Well,I wasn't able to watch the whole Flatfoot series in original release order.
But,having watched them all by now,I definitely say the 1st one.Steno actually directs and delivers in this one,while he just delivers in the rest of the films(except maybe the Hong Kong film,partially).Bud actually plays as an actor along with the punch and fist scenes.And the whole movie carries a genuine Naples atmosphere(just remember the scene where Rizzo just stands and stares at these figures at the dock..) .
OK,maybe the audience who enjoyed ther rest Flatfoot movies more like slapstick comedies will find this one more brutal and nihilistic than funny.I don't know,maybe that's why I prefer it more,although I pop the other 3 movies inside the player occasionally.I'd sure welcome the presence of a villain like Al Lettieri of the 2nd movie in the 1st one.
And,of course,there is the excellent score of De Angelis,with its melodic and rocking parts.I find myself watching the movie sometimes,exclusively to enjoy the club scene score.
