Warning: Spoilers
Second movie for Bud Spencer shot in Northern Tuscany's coast after "Lo Chiamavano Bulldozer". Bud stars as Bud Graziano,former boxer that withdrew after being injured at his right punch just before a match with the dirty rival Rosco Dunn.Despite the broken hand Graziano showed up at the match,but was defeated.Now he has become a globetrotter with his ship,but at the beginning of the movie somebody (Dunn?) has ordered a wrecking crew to dismantle Bomber's boat.Then Bomber rescues in two occasions a boxe-manager,the explosive Jerry (Jerry Calà-WOW!).After a free-for-all with the regiment of Rosco Dunn -now a sergeant at US military base of Camp Derby- that wants a showdown with Graziano (probably Dunn was expelled after his dirty victory),our two heroes find a young bullet with a golden right punch,Giorgione Desideri (Mike Miller) and begin to teach him box.After a brilliant victory against Rosco's young champ Sam Newman (Bobby Rhodes) and the rebuilding of Jerry's gym -burned by Rosco's henchmen-,Giorgione turns on his teachers due of baddies' intervention.After voluntarily losing his second match,Giorgione becomes an henchman of Dunn's organization,forcing Bomber to begin a retaliatory action.Bud Graziano destroys a grill owned by Dunn's sidekick,then manages to bring Giorgione back with him.The time for a match Giorgio Desideri vs. Rosco Dunn comes after an hard training,but Rosco's henchmen are unleashed repeating with Giorgione the treatment made with Bomber.Without his right punch Giorgione is almost defenseless but doesn't give up and manages to resist the first round.After that Bomber discover the violent trick and faces Rosco Dunn on a clean brawl.Now Dunn is lost, since Bomber is at 100% "You see,now i can use my right,come on!". Rosco Dunn bites the dust many many times and then is send over the top rope crushing a table! Triumph for Bomber!Bomber!Bomber!Bomber!It's true,he didn't hit the enemies,he bombed them! And great performance of Jerry Calà! 10 stars out of ten.
