Firstly, there's nothing super about these cops. Secondly, 'Miami Supercops' is actually a really badly made movie.
From the bad acting, the excruciating score and sound effects, to the muddled and confusing plot, there was very little entertaining about this 80's action comedy. Oh, and speaking of action; for an 80's action movie, the action sequences are few and far between with nothing spectacular or memorable about them.
Terence Hill stars as cop Doug Bennet, who asks his old pal and ex-cop Steve (Bud Spencer) to help him crack a case. Steve is now a flight instructor. (Why would Doug ask an EX-cop to help him with a case? Are there no-one serving in the force capable of helping him?? If it involved flying, I might have understood). The case they're trying to solve involves theft of $20 million (7 years ago). It only gets worse from here, I'm afraid, with many characters coming and going that I didn't care about or had no idea why they were in the film at all. Many of these characters served no purpose whatsoever.
The film's antagonist only makes his appearance late during the second act, and he is an idiotic character - hardly a villain! The film expects the viewer to digest a lot of detail - which doesn't really make much sense.
'Miami Supercops' are for die-hard Bud Spencer and Terence Hill fans only, or for young boys who dream of becoming cops. From an action movie perspective it certainly doesn't deliver. It's not even good for a laugh as a comedy. Nope. Give this one a skip; there are far better 80's action movies out there - or movies in general...
