Scuola di ladri - Parte seconda
The first episode had a good result at the box office and we know that
in the eighties there was money to be waste, but I miss the need to
make the sequel to a film that was already tired in the first episode.
A second part that looks terrible in the first few seconds with
Villaggio repeating an identical joke of "Fracchia contro Dracula" (he
will do it other times) and with Boldi who shortly thereafter starts
with his more classic "Bella Fressssca! Bella Fressssca! ”. In
addition there is no Lino Banfi who in the first film was the only one
of the "funny trio" who was good, because he was working in another
movie.
It is therefore up to the usual repetitive Village and Boldi the honour
of carrying on the adventures of the cousins Siraghi, accompanied by
Enrico Maria Salerno who has the beautiful Florence Guérin at
his side, who fills one of the many shortcomings of the first film
(that is, the tits) . She is probably the person on whom the Cecchi
Gori and Neri Parenti focused more and she is, in fact, the only reason
why one should watch this film that not only copies other from
Parenti's past films ( especially from "Fantozzi Contro Tutti" but
there are many other sources of inspiration) but uses the same
identical dynamics as the predecessor. Very few ideas, very obvious and
tired, with silly gags and ideas that don't work.
Villaggio and Boldi have ample room for their comedy, proposed as
always without many compliments. The first comes out of prison and the
other from a criminal asylum and both are picked up by the usual uncle
who this time pretends to be blind and poor and who apologizes for
having cheated them previously. The quartet is completed with Susanna
(Florence Guérin), Amalio's daughter, who goes into business
with the other two. The trio, however, is completely incapable and
returns, with the tail between the legs, to his capable uncle. This
time the robberies are very ambitious, they point to a train that
transport gold and jewels kept on a ship, for the value of thirty
billion lire. Among other things, on the ship we see the famous scene
of "Fantozzi contro tutti" in which Fantozzi and Filini are invited on
the yatch of Camillo Milli, copied in every line.
Eventually the uncle tries to cheat them with the beautiful Susanna who
is not Amalio's daughter. But an “incredible” final twist
sees the two cousins’ triumph and closes this disastrous film.
