Who Finds a Friend Finds a Treasure (1981)
Who Finds a Friend Finds a Treasure (1981)
Overview
A 1981 Italian PG adventure comedy from director Sergio Corbucci, this Terence Hill and Bud Spencer vehicle follows two mismatched men who stumble onto a Pacific island hiding wartime treasure, feuding gangsters, island natives, and a Japanese soldier who missed the memo that the war ended decades ago. The formula is pure slapstick buddy comedy, light on ideology and heavy on physical gags. No political agenda surfaces, LGBTQ and gender themes are absent, and family dynamics barely register. The friendship between the two leads is the only value being sold. With signals pulling in no particular direction, Neutral is the straightforward outcome.
