All the Way Boys

original title: Pił forte, ragazzi!

Comparison:

  • German Version
  • International Version
Release: Jun 18, 2011 - Author: Glogcke - Translator: DaxRider123 - external link: IMDB
"All the Way Boys" is probably one of the best Spencer / Hill movies ever made. The soundtrack, atmosphere, jokes, and the fact that the movie is not too childish makes it a "must see" for any fan of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill. Unfortunately, there is one problem: all over there world there does not exist an uncut version. You can rather point out 2 different cuts. The German version misses out on several plot poins as well as brawling; additionally it offers alternative footage every now and then.
On the other hand there's the Italian/internatinal version which was also released in the USA and Denmark. If you can, stay away from this version. While the German version already misses out on roughly 7 and half minutes of footage (30 cuts), the Italian/international version includes 105 cuts with an overall runtime of 18 minutes of missing footage!
Even though there does not exist an uncut version this shouldn't keep you from watching it anyways - it's really good. If you're able to speak/understand German - stick to the German cut. Otherwise you can at least use this report to extend your knowledge about the missing footage.


Alternative footage was ignored for the specification of the overall difference in time.

This is a comparison between the German DVD / VHS version and the Italian DVD released by Medusa.

Then he takes a towel, thanks the boys and leaves the "shower". He enters a room and immediately comes back out on the other side, completely dressed with a suit. He lustily looks at the waitress who serves a table. Then he suddenly sees Bud who pays his bill - Hill turns around. Then the German version continues.

NOTE: In the German version, Hill also has a little drink with the old man at the bar. However, the German version misses out on Hill drinking his first beer. In return, we in the Italian version do not see him grabbing a second beer (which he then also drinks).
