Io Sto con gli Ippopotami plot
Brothers Slim (Terence Hill) and Tom (Bud Spencer) are at odds in South Africa. Tom organizes safaris, which Slim tries to sabotage because he cares about the wild animals. He does not know, however, that the safari rifles are loaded with blanks. They join forces, reluctantly, of course, to rid their territory of a sadistic tyrant named Ormond (Joe Bugner), who wants to drive everyone out of the neighborhood to start a large safari park. Tom and Slim try to overthrow Ormond and his gang of stupid powers.

This was the first one I saw with Hill (my first was Bulldozer) and I loved him as a 12 year old!
Ok now it turns out to be a lot less than in my memory, but it's still a nice movie;
for me the highlight is that banquet feeding scene at the villain's (ex-heavyweight Joe Bugner) not to mention that annoying little guy, who ends up being caged with a gorilla (justice!).[/spoiler ]
come on: 4 stars!

Pure youth sentiment for me and why 5 stars, that's why I bought it yesterday on DVD for 1.50, so what more could you want? Well, take me back 35 years and me and my school friends from back then, of whom I no longer see one, unfortunately, with a bunch of fries and frikandels and forget the mess of today
