Crime Busters (Italian: I due superpiedi quasi piatti) is a 1977 Italian action crime comedy film[3][4] directed by Enzo Barboni and starring the film duo of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer.
Wilbur Walsh (Bud Spencer) and Matt Kirby (Terence Hill) are in Miami, looking for work as longshoremen, but the area is managed by shady dealers who refuse to give them a job, after which the dealers are beaten up and have three of their cars wrecked in the process.
Both Matt and Wilbur complete their training, even though they differ in their unorthodox methods of making arrests and overall rebellious nature, eventually being on real service.
In a contemporary review, Monthly Film Bulletin called Crime Busters "a singularly dull variation on the sprightly, sparring Newman/Redford comedy formula" and that there are a few original ideas in the script, but they were "largely wasted by the lacklustre direction and the film's inevitable drift into an endless series of unimaginatively choreographed punch-ups.
The review concluded that the film was "shaggy around the edges but fans of slapstick humor will find it endearing enough to pull them through.
