Best movie ever!

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

This is one of the rare Spaghetti Westerns starring Bud Spencer without his usual sidekick, Terence Hill, although the comic offerings in store are very much like you'd expect from the actor. Given a chance to steal the limelight on his own for once, Spencer shines in the leading role in this film, playing a man-mountain (not exactly a stretch) with a good line in comedy. The opening scene, in which he tries to persuade his horse to get up, is a classic moment in its own right, and Spencer's presence throughout the movie makes it more than watchable. While there aren't really many laugh-out-loud moments, it's the little touches – the glasses, measuring the can – that make his character so amusing. I was also impressed with his dubbing in the US version; the groans and grunts his character makes really go with his personality, so much so that I felt like he wasn't being dubbed by somebody else at all.The plot is typically convoluted, focusing on two different strands: the first is a young orphaned boy who's come into possession of a plot of oil-rich land, and the second is Spencer's character Coburn, who's slept with gunman Sonny's virgin sister. Now Sonny wants to marry the two off to make his sister respectable, and then kill Coburn for his crime. Of course, this wouldn't be a spaghetti western without all the familiar trappings of the genre, and these are present in spades: there are Can-Can dancers, jailbreaks, bank robberies, hookers, bar-room brawls and more. The action scenes are average at best, played for laughs rather than thrills, although I could have done without the interminable fist-fight that closes the movie: sure, the spectacle is unique – watching guys slug it out under a rain of oil – but it goes on too long and quickly descends into shambolic chaos.Aside from Spencer, we have some interesting faces in the cast. Jack Palance hams it up as usual as a crazed sharpshooter, and here he decides to put on a different accent every scene he's in. It's not one of his better turns. The French Dany Saval is the romantic interest, and is pretty in a vacuous role. Child actor Renato Cestie gives one of the best performances for kids his age, and Francisco Rabal makes an impact as a sinister preacher. Lower down in the cast, we spot a couple of familiar faces from Italian cinema, including Sal Borgese and Luciano Pigozzi. Aside from playing spot-the-cast-member, IT CAN BE DONE, AMIGO is a pretty average movie, saved only by Spencer's genuinely funny leading man.

While not exactly the same plot as True Grit, it is definitely in the same vein, but this time with slapstick humor interjected throughout. Bud Spencer chops his opponents into submission and Jack Palance goes from goon to goof as the story unfolds. This has all the parts of a Spaghetti Western: Decent theme song, genre character actors, settings, etc. but winds up a few feet wide of the mark. The humor is decent, especially some of the interactions with Coburn and the boy, and it is an entertaining movie, but I never really warmed up to the gentle giant Coburn (Bud Spencer) and believed his connection with the kid. And I feel like I just have to at least mention the awkward spousal abuse ending ... I guess it was just being historically accurate? Anyways, there are better Western All'Italiana.Rating: 18/40

IT CAN BE DONE, AMIGO, with the spaghetti western regulars Spencer, Palance and Rabal, has Roberto Camardiel in a supporting role and Serena Michelotti as the widow Warren. Mrs. Dany Saval, wife of Michel Drucker, will be noticed as Mary Bronston. Luciano Catenacci made himself known as the producer of OPERAZIONE PAURA; here he plays 'James'.The script is plain--it pairs a fat drifter (womanizer tracked down by the vengeful brother of one of the women he fooled) with an annoying boy.

Hiram Coburn is not the typical spaghetti western protagonist. He doesn't use a gun, instead opting to pound his opponents silly with his fists, and although he is as powerful as an ox, he is mellow and laid back to an annoying degree. He takes some getting used to, but by the end of the film I found myself liking this character. Jack Palance plays Sonny, an eccentric gunslinger (what Palance does best). He is very entertaining, and I would have liked to have seen more of him in the film. The weirdest thing about him is that his accent keeps changing. Sometimes he sounds like he is from the southeastern US, other times he sounds Mexican, and other times he sounds like he's from Chicago or something. I don't know if this is intentional or not, but it sure is odd, and odd is a good thing in a spaghetti western.The music score by Bacalov is excellent. It reminds me of some of Morricone's work, which is pretty much the best compliment one could give.The story is great, and just about the most original one I've ever seen in a spaghetti western. The movie is a comedy, but not to the extent that it becomes completely unbelievable. I may have given this movie a higher rating if I saw it in a more complete, widescreen version. The version I saw, which I assume is the most commonly available, is approximately 98 minutes long if I remember correctly, and it feels like it's been edited somewhat to shorten its length.All in all, this one's a must-have if you are a spaghetti western nut like me.
