Das Krokodil und sein Nilpferd (1979)

Das Krokodil und sein Nilpferd: Directed by Italo Zingarelli. With Terence Hill, Bud Spencer, Joe Bugner, May Dlamini. In Africa, 2 expat “brothers” are usually at each other’s throats but now have a common enemy. Ormond’s men are shooting or catching much of the wildlife for export as well as forcing the locals off their land. Lots of fun fights follow.

“For the most part Iu0026#39;m for the Hippopotamus is a standard Hill u0026amp; Spencer offering, consisting of mild comedy mixed with some fist fights. Like usual the plot isnu0026#39;t much to talk about, and mainly exists as to supply some bad guys for them to brawl with. In this case Jack Ormond and his gang of poachers, who are catching African wildlife which they want to sell to a Canadian zoo! Tom and Slim have to team up to prevent this whichever way they can, misbehaving themselves at lunch, putting up a casino scam and off course talking with their fists…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo far nothing we havenu0026#39;t seen from them before, and the quality too is as usual. Although dated, it has the just OK production values weu0026#39;re used to in a Hill u0026amp; Spencer movie. Nevertheless itu0026#39;s among my favorites of their work, and that has to be because of the nice scenery together with all the wild animals. We get to see quite a few lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, ostriches and wildebeests. Not only nice to look at but they do interact with them in a respectful if not loving way which is quite an accomplishment while sending out a powerful message.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWell worth a watch for that alone.”
