 Watch Out, We're Mad!
comment
A 1974 Italian Action/Comedy film featuring Bud Spencer and Terence Hill as Ben, a car repair worker and Kid, a truck driver, respectively who, after participating in a car rally, tie in winning a red dune buggy with a yellow top. During an eating contest in which they try to determine who will win the buggy once and for all, mobsters come in and crash the place, wrecking the dune buggy, which makes them mad...On March 23, 2022 a remake has been released with Christian De Sica in the role of the mob boss, which most fans of the original prefer to not talk about.Bud and Terence's characters from this film is notably re-modeled into the 2017 video game, Slaps and Beans.

Every Car Is a Pinto: Subverted and played straight. The cars are subjected to a lot of abuse during the initial rally scene, yet they simply break down. Howewer, the Dune Buggies only needed to be flipped on its side to catch fire.

 Watch Out, We're Mad! / int_6269a4b3
comment
Psycho Psychologist: The Doctor can be seen as the true Big Bad of the movie because he manipulates the infantile Boss insisting that he must act evil as a display of power. When Ben and Kid asked for their Dune Buggy, the Boss was actually willing to give in to their demands, but the Doctor convinced him to send assassins to get rid of them instead. Later, he suggests that Jeremias (who used to work for the Boss) is sending Ben and Kid to bother him as a way to get his revenge, and they send thugs to beat the old man down. This finally makes Ben and Kid TRULY mad and seals his downfall.

Here We Go Again!: At the end of the movie the mob boss has gotten the pair each their own identical dune buggy. While revving them around the empty lot next to the amusement park, Ben gets distracted watching the tightrope walker, and accidentally crashes into The Kid's buggy, totaling it while his own is unscathed. The movie ends with Ben suggesting they have another beer and hot dog competition about which one gets the remaining buggy.

Advice Backfire: All of the Doctor's arguments about the Boss needing to act "evil" and not give in to Ben and Kid's demands does nothing but worsening the situation for them. By the end, the Doctor is put in his place after being severely punished for his bad advices ending up humiliating the Boss.

Casual Danger Dialogue: During their beer and hot dog contest, both protagonists casually continue with their contest as mobsters wreck the place, before deciding to go someplace else... Ben moving out of the way, after which a stool is tossed over the bar he was sitting at before makes it a moment of funny. Ben and The Kid have this conversation after one of the mooks sets their car on fire with gasoline:

comment
Running Gag: Happens twice during the sport school scene. The first one happens when a mook constantly challenges Ben while wearing boxing gloves, which Ben quickly disposes of before hitting him on the head. The second running gag is the two shoving the mook in charge aside before continuing their assault on the other mooks. A Running Gag that continues into the final battle is the mooks pleading to leave their respective arms alone, as they need them. There is also the "fork-stab in the hand" punishment the mob boss subjects the Doctor to.
