Synopsis:

It's hard to explain the sublimity of We Are Angels. It's even hard to describe the films, of which there are six (or possibly seven). The money is in a briefcase hidden within one of the huge cardboard drums stacked in the warehouse of the Medina Ecological Center (a mobster's front). Which one? A close-up reveals the sign on one of the drums, filling the screen: a scrawled heart with Lupita inside it.
Orso (Bud Spencer) and Zack (Philip Michael Thomas) have escaped from a Costa Rican prison and are disguised as monks (Deodato is a poet and has read René Char, presumably: 'Poesy will always be pre-eminently an escape, jail broken and assurance that that escape in long and murderous strides has succeeded.'). They're walking along a careless street when hoods accost them in broad daylight, leading to a kung fu fight.
Ostentatiously pretty girls are a temptation to resist, for the nonce. The little steamboat on the jungle river is twice the size of the African Queen (two stacks, two decks). An airplane mechanic roars out of his hangar in an antique roadster, crashes and flies through the air, landing in a series of handflips, with a pithy remark at the last.
They rob a bank and encounter the joke from Cassavetes' Big Trouble. The leader of the revolutionaries is named Napoleon, and wears a red beret and red epaulettes. Don Medina (Marc Macaulay) has a mean kick in his business suit.
The technique is direct and straightforward (Deodato began with Rossellini). Zest and Italian New Wave comedy define the parameters.
