La gran aventura de Mortadelo y Filemón (Mortadelo and Filemón: The Big Adventure) is a 2003 Spanish film which served as the first live-action feature adaptation of the vastly popular Mortadelo y Filemón comic created by Francisco Ibáñez, also featuring characters from their sister works 13, Rue del Percebe and Rompetechos. The plot of the movie itself is vaguely inspired by that of El Sulfato Atómico, the first long-form story featuring the eponymous characters, though it also contains numerous references to various later albums. Just like the comics it is based on, the film is jam-packed with absurdist humor, cartoony slapstick, and Funny Background Events.At the T.I.A. Headquarters, Professor Bacterio has just finished creating a new invention, the Desmoralizador de Tropas ("troop demoralizer"), or DDT, which emits waves that make whoever they hit hopelessly depressed and unwilling to do anything— as he and the Súper note, such a device has the potential to cripple armies. Unfortunately, it is then summarily stolen along with Bacterio's weather-changing device by Nadiusko, a spy who breaks into the agency and whose escape is unwittingly enabled by the arrival of the two eponymous knuckleheads. The Súper sends agent Fredy Mazas to retrieve the device, relegating Mortadelo and Filemón to a menial equipment relocation job during which they manage to launch a rocket that ends up in the Súper's butt, earning them a firing.Meanwhile, Nadiusko plans to sell the DDT to Calimero, the whimsical, Psychopathic Manchild dictator of the Eastern European Republic of Tirania, having heard of his plans to invade England and demolish Buckingham Palace in order to develop a cheap housing project in its place. Fredy and Nadiusko are arrested at the Tiranian border, where the DDT ends up being thrown down a well, but Fredy escapes and impersonates Esfínter, the brother-in-law of Calimero's butler whom the dictator had intended to begin grooming as a heir. Nadiusko is executed by a firing squad while wearing Fredy's shirt, which is mailed back to the T.I.A., prompting them to get Mortadelo back on board for their backup plan: Claiming that Mortadelo is Calimero's long-lost son.Back in Tirania, Fredy finds that the temptation of the power and wealth that would come with being Tirania's supreme ruler is too much for him and defects from the T.I.A. However, a wrench is thrown in his plan when Calimero sees the faxed picture of Mortadelo, which, thanks to Bacterio leaving his finger on the lens while taking it, makes it look like Mortadelo has six toes just like he does, which is all he needs to believe a child of his has been found. Fredy travels back to Spain and tries to kill Mortadelo, kidnapping Filemón's mother Menchu when that fails. With Fredy outed as a traitor, the Súper sends Mortadelo, Filemón and Ofelia to Tirania to rescue her and deal with Fredy.The two titular characters are portrayed by Benito Pocino, who was hand-picked by director Javier Fesser without an audition after a makeup artist handed him a photograph (though his voice had to be dubbed over by Carlos Latre, as Pocino had trouble vocalizing), and Pepe Viyuela. Other stars include Mariano Venancio as the Súper, Berta Ojea as Ofelia, Dominique Pinon as Fredy, Paco Sagárzazu as Calimero and Emilio Gavira as Rompetechos.This film provides examples of:
