A stuntman and a saxophonist stand in for two billionaires threatened by killers.
This 1984 Brazilian action-comedy leans into its doppelgänger/mistaken identity premise with some local flavor set against Rio de Janeiro, giving it modest novelty through its South American setting and social satire angle. However, the plot is fairly formulaic for the mistaken-identity action-comedy genre, the acting is serviceable but unremarkable, the cinematography is workmanlike, and the ending resolves predictably without much surprise. Its TMDB score likely reflects regional cult appreciation rather than exceptional craft across the board.
