At boring world that we live nowadays this picture will be board up by the brainless people self-called politically correct that appears a couple decades to screw up sense of humor that we loved to as displayed in the past, subject as racial profiling and mainly q.u.e.e.r matters who used to talked openly also xen.ofo.bia where Freebie insists talking to your buddy Bean that replays always mocking the American way of life and another things as well.

This picture isn't about cops against the crime properly, it was impose as backdrop to display an interplay of two opposite characters that working together for a long time and their divergent point of view concerning their roots, Bean (Alan Arkin) has a hereditary inheritance from his Mexico's ancestors, in other hand Freebie (James Caan) a true white American a slight hot-head is amuse mocking Bean eating countless "Taco" a day, meanwhile out of the blue Bean was puzzled over his Mexican wife lately has been happy and crooning all the time, also well dressing and so on, thus right away Freebie suggests that Bean's wife has an affair, due his garden were refurbished lately without any expenses appears to pay, Bean cut off Freebie's belief, he didn't implied that it does not meaning an unfaithful of her whatsoever.

Meanwhile Their task are protect an older Mobster Red Meyers (Jack Kruschen) about to die by someone coming from Chicago, upon many chases against unsubs through San Francisco streets the odd couple beat the highscore county destroying police cars, private cars and also damage properties all around, aside some incongruities allowed in the flawed screenplay. The chemistry of both leading role is a show-stopper, another fine sequence when Freebie leaves Bean at your home decided to ascertain over his wife alibi for stayed at late night at motel, as Freebie speaks louder "Wife's thief hide yourself at your home" meanwhile Bean tries catch his unfaithful wife in a fake alibi, worst she convinces him.

I'd watched this fabulous picture in 1992 and since then I've been looking for him, the long waiting is over, unfortunately the official release doesn't provide a classic dubbed version, due the lines are overlapping hindering the fast dialogues, many gags is priceless, don't miss it for nothing, overall is guaranteed fun.

Thanks for reading.
