CINEMALFA 5TH BET

Flatfoot

08 May, 2020
Rome and Milan. Trastevere versus Navigli. How will the comedy match between the two irresistible Piedipiatti Enrico Montesano and Renato Pozzetto end? They will be the protagonists of our drive-in today with their record-breaking film. Good Vision
How many times have we Alphists heard him say, "Are you a guard or a thief?" Yes, because Alfa cars have been the most spectacular chases in history, and the cinema could not avoid telling them. Sometimes the backdrop was dramatic, other times decidedly more comic, as in the case of the film we are about to "see" in our virtual Drive-In, organized in collaboration with Cinemalfa and Museo Fisogni.

Let's give way to the two most unlikely "Piedipiatti" ever who, perhaps they were unable to bring order and discipline, but they gave a lot of laughs in this comic couple who marry Trastevere and the Navigli. Good Vision.

Flatfoot (1991) Running time 88 minutes - Genre: comedy, action - Director: Carlo Vanzina Cast: Renato Pozzetto, Enrico Montesano, Victor Cavallo, Angelo Bernabucci, Tony Sperandeo, Mirella Falco, Pino Ammendola, Nello Pazzafini An unbeatable comic couple, Rome and Milan come together in a fast-paced investigation with plenty of comic ideas. Pozzetto and Montesano film a sort of ante litteram "Bad Boys" that takes place between Milan, Rome and Venice with chases, "thunderous" entrances by car into the underground, shootings and daring arrests. The pair of actors had already been seen in 'Noi Uomini Duri' where they showed great teamwork. During their investigations, our "bad boys" use a white Alfa 75 with a CB magnet antenna and blue flashing light, practically a typical 90s car. Memorable is the scene of the entrance into the underground (Molino Dorino) with the famous phrase "...affronto zona biglietti spacco e chiudo!" during the chase with a BMW 320 while Camurati's (Pozzetto) Teledrin rings because of his wife asking him to bring home the michette. The investigation, despite obstacles due to the political power of the characters involved, ends with the arrest of the culprits in a splendid Venice. This film grossed about 7 billion lire and was a great success with the public in its first two weeks of screening, despite the simultaneous release of "Johnny Stecchino". Curiosity: it seems that Pozzetto and Montesano were arrested at the end of filming in Venice because they were not authorised by the authorities to use jet skis for filming.
  GREEN OR SUPER? THE FISOGNI MUSEUM EXPLAINS The film was released in 1991, a year in which the environmental debate in the automotive sector was at its height, in particular the spread of "green" or unleadedpetrol. The Fiat-Alfa-Lancia group was particularly active in this field, churning out 1,200 catalysed cars a day. However, the Italian market was still not very receptive to this first "green" turn of events, and every effort was made to encourage the purchase of less polluting cars. Alfa Romeo, in particular, was committed to this, and at the end of November presented 'brand new ecological versions of the 33 saloon and Sport Wagon familycar', both equipped with a catalytic converter and modern electronic injection. Moreover, a certain 'ecological awareness' was growing among Alfa's customers, with a sharp increase in catalytic registrations between 1990 and 1991, destined to grow further in the following years. New solutions were also being experimented with in the big cities, including Rome, Milan and Venice - where the film is set - where a new type of fuel, containing less sulphur, was to be marketed from 1992.
