Miami Supercops

Miami Supercops is a 1985 Italian action comedy film directed by Bruno Corbucci. Set seven years after a daring bank heist, the movie follows the investigation of a series of mysterious events in Miami. In 1978, $20 million was stolen from a Detroit bank, but the FBI was only able to capture one of the three robbers, who was subsequently jailed. However, during his imprisonment, the captured robber remained tight-lipped about his accomplices and the whereabouts of the stolen cash. The case seemed closed until the captured robber's release from prison. Upon his return to Miami, he was found dead, prompting the FBI to reopen the investigation. Agents Doug Bennet, a seasoned veteran, and Steve Forest, a young, ambitious agent, are sent to Miami to pose as local police officers and track down the remaining robber. Their mission is a high-stakes operation, as the missing robber, with a seven-year head start, is believed to be hiding in Miami with the missing $20 million. Doug and Steve arrive in Miami, where they quickly discover that the police department is not as efficient as they anticipated. The two agents decide to adopt some creative tactics, often relying on unconventional methods to achieve their goals. As they delve deeper into the case, they encounter various colorful characters, including a group of corrupt police officers who become entangled in their investigation. One of the local police officers, a charming woman named Carmen, becomes an ally for the visiting agents. Carmen is instrumental in helping Doug and Steve gather crucial information and navigate the complexities of Miami's underworld. Together, the trio embarks on a series of high-octane adventures, ranging from high-speed car chases to shootouts with the missing robber's henchmen. Meanwhile, the tension between Doug and Steve grows as they disagree on their approach to solving the case. Steve is more aggressive and willing to take risks, while Doug prefers a more measured and calculated approach. Their contrasting styles often lead to humorous misunderstandings and comedic moments. As the investigation unfolds, the agents close in on their target, and the stakes grow higher. They discover that the missing robber has set a trap for them, which ultimately leads to a thrilling showdown. In the climactic final confrontation, Doug and Steve face off against the missing robber and his accomplices in a series of intense and action-packed sequences. Throughout the film, Miami Supercops pays homage to the Italian cop movie genre, characterized by its lighthearted tone, wacky characters, and over-the-top action sequences.
