In 1978, $20 million was stolen from a Detroit bank. One of the robbers was caught, one was found dead, and the third disappeared. The money was never found. Seven years later, the robber who was caught was released from jail. He immediately went to Miami, only to be found dead the next day. Now FBI agents Doug Bennet and Steve Forest have been called in to investigate the case while posing as Miami police officers. Somewhere in Miami the third robber is hiding with his $20 million, and he has a seven-year head start on the authorities.
Miami Supercops is a late-entry Bud Spencer and Terence Hill comedy-action film that follows their well-worn formula of slapstick brawls, buddy-cop banter, and light crime investigation. The plot is serviceable but formulaic, offering little beyond the standard genre scaffolding. The acting from Spencer and Hill is charming and comfortable but not stretching either performer. Cinematography is competent TV-movie level work set against Miami locations. By 1985, the duo's formula was thoroughly established and this entry adds little new to their filmography or to the genre at large. The ending resolves predictably. A perfectly watchable entry for fans of the duo, but objectively average across all dimensions.
