Jun 16, 2022 A Spanish, French and Italian co-production, It Can Be Done Amigo was also called Saddle Tramps, which is a wonderful nom de plume for a movie. It also was called Bulldozer is Back Amigo, Hallelujah Amigo and The Big and the Bad. Bud Spencer is Hiram Coburn and he's very similar to the Bambino character that he became known for in the Trinity series. He's being pursued by Sonny (Jack Palance), a gunfighter and procurer of women of ill repute who is upset that Coburn took his sister Mary's (Davy Saval, Moon Pilot) virginity without marrying her. As part of their constant battles, the two meet an orphan named Chip who is soon fighting off the offers to buy the house he inherited from his uncle by a priest called Franciscus (Francisco Rabal), who soon brings in Sonny and Mary, then marries off Coburn to the pregnant young girl. Sonny tells Coburn that when his son becomes 21, he will finally shoot him. Hijinks, as they say, ensue. How self-referential had Italian westerns become by 1972? This movie was shot on McBain ranch set from Sergio Leone's Once Upon A Time In The West. Bud Spencer's character says, "So this is the famous well" in reference to the well that caused the railroad to be built so close to that farm. This is a movie that has a farm with mud people like to eat and where Bud Spencer puts on glasses every time he has to fight someone. If you haven't gotten into the silly side of Italian westerns, your enjoyment of this may or may not occur. It Can Be Done, Amigo was directed by Maurizio Lucidi (The Designated Victim) and written by Rafael Azcona from a story by Ernesto Gastaldi.

Silly, fun film. Worth a one watch. I'm still amazed at the film production similarities, mostly in the way they sound, of these Italian classics. They're just plain neat, and as I've said, fun. All's well. See more Jan 9, 2012 Attempt at a spaghetti western comedy. The amiable Bud Spencer aids a youngster who inherits a house on some valuable land. Producers of CITY SLICKERS must have noticed something in Palance's comedic turn. See more Jul 19, 2010 Lättsam Spaghettibuskis med Bud Spencer och ett litet barn i huvudrollen, Jack Palance är äcklig som vanligt men rätt så trevlig, lamt och mesigt soundtrack,ingen kan må dåligt av den här filmen. See more Dec 15, 2008 Entertaining spaghetti western laced with humor fro Bud Spencer and the great Jack Palance. Spencer is a drifter with a talent for fisticuffs and a laid back attitude on the run from gunfighter/pimp Palance who thinks Spencer "disgraced" his sister ("First your gonna marry her, then I'm gonna kill you. That way she'll be a respectable widow.) and whp's cigar never leaves his mouth. They end up with Chip, an orphoned child who's just inherited a tract of land that some bad types are looking to acquire. Not great, but entertaining enough, you don't want to like it but end up smiling despite yourself.....if I laughed at the end does that make me a horrible person? See more Read all reviews
