If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Lot of fun this one, as Bud and Terence are mistaken for a couple of government agents. Kind of a spoof of James Bond movies with a sinister Bond Villain to go along with it. My only real problem with this movie is in the later stages. Sure, as with any Hill/Bud movie I can suspend disbelief, but I'm sorry I just can't buy that going into a restroom of a pizza cafe in Miami can teleport you onto a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean. Come on! Surely they didn't have to get that ludicrous? I can remember even as a 15 year old watching this at the movies for the first time, being incredulous about that. Double Trouble was a fun movie too, but I think Go For It is the last really good movie they did together. The last where you could actually see Bud Spencer as the legitimate superhuman strong guy.

I've recently bought the DVD of this movie, but I remember watching it when I was a child, here in Italy they used to play a lot of Spencer-Hill movies (in the 70s 80s), unfortunately now it's a total different story...Italian comedy has gone totally bad. But this is another issue.I've watched it in both the versions (English,I suppose it's the original one..?) and Italian , the one I was used to. I've noticed some changes in the dialogs , like in every movie, and I'd like to quote a funny sketch, that you can see when they go to meet K1... K1 says "Mr ..... and....., I suppose" and Spencer says "You suppose right" , well in Italian is more funny because the line changes in "la supposta è giusta " where "supposta " means both the past tense of "supporre " (to suppose) and also the little rocket- shaped medicine you take when you have fever ... :) :) (got it ?...........:) ciao ciao gio'

A must have for any Spencer and Hill fan. I must say have been a fan of the duo for a LONG time. This movie should have been called, "A Series of Unfortunate Events". OK, maybe not. Unfortunately, too many people often times make the mistake of comparing older movies to modern flicks. This is just wrong. This is a funny, comedy that will keep you laughing for quite some time. This film has lots of fight scenes, usually against a bunch of baddies. With the ever grumpy Bud Spencer swatting them like flies. Definitely poking fun at the CIA. The chemistry between their two characters is so great. If you've seen any Bud & Terence movie then you know what I mean. They are just a fantastic team. One always getting the other in a jam. While the sound quality is not the best, it's definitely passable for an 80's flick. If you are a true Bud and Terence fan like I am, then you won't be disappointed. If this is your first time, then do good to check it out if you can find a copy. Because like good wine, they are hard to find.

Bus Spencer & Terence Hill aren't well known in the United Kingdom and this is a shame as their work deserves to be seen by a wider audience. A nice mix of sight gags, slapstick and inventive fight scenes, it's closer to an Italian version of a Jackie Chan comedy than any western comedy duo.Go For It unites the drifter Rosco (Hill) with fresh-out-of-jail Doug (Spencer). Within the first 10 minutes they've beaten the occupants of a highway diner and stolen a truck. 10 minutes later, they're mistaken for two CIA operatives and despatched to Miami to infiltrate the mysterious K1's organisation.The script and budget of this film are well above their usual low-budget set-pieces, but what really makes these films shine are the stars. Hill's smooth-talking, fist-fighting charmer is the perfect counterpart to Spencer's hulking laid-back bruiser. If you've never seen them fight a group of Euro-villains, this is a good one to start with. Much of the pleasure comes from seeing Bud Spencer delivering one of his trademark slaps - a slap from a man that size HAS to hurt and the ringing sound effects foleyed in are a nice departure from the usual gunshot-type sound effect.Posing a rich Texan millionaires and in possession of a million dollars, these two wreak havoc across Miami. My favourite scene is the delivery of Spencer's burger; the sequence is surreal enough to have been lifted from a Leone western and will have you in stitches.If you like this film I'd also recommend 'Double Trouble', possibly their finest film. 'Go For It' remains a close second and a fine reminder that if there's no chemistry, no amount of stunts or CGI will make your film work. The right team, however unlikely the pairing, will turn any ordinary film into a memorable one.
