Sheriff Hall takes in charge of the little kid who tells he comes from a faraway galaxy . This second entry the bouncing Spencer along with his likable little partner ( Cary Guffey of ¨close encounters in third phase¨) arrive in Monroe , there is appointed police officer by the Mayor Howard (Amendola). Meantime , newspapers from the city of Monroe publicize : ¨ Monroe has a new sheriff ¨.

After that , the sheriff attempts to help the little Alien , the cop confronts officers (John Bartha) and an extraterrestrial invasion commanded by an Alien boss (Robert Hundar , Spaghetti Western usual).

Meanwhile , there are been developing the ordinary fights and struggles set at a barbershop , bar , prison and a laundry . It all climaxes at the Monroe Attraction Park where takes places a silly fighting between Spencer along with his friends against the aliens . Spencer goes into the action he turns the score , fighting like a Bulldozer . The police gets to free the kid from some nasty extraterrestrials .Amusing and funny Spaghetti with the corpulent Spencer forming a sympathetic couple with Cary Guffey . This entertaining , engaging movie is crammed of fist-fights, punches , kicks, overwhelming stunt-work and lots of humor. The story concocts a blithely silly and lighthearted comedy that not only delivers the expected amusingly goofy comedy . Bud Spencer is top-notch as one army cop taking on a group of American soldiers and extraterrestrial beings who sail on the typical motorboat from Florida and as always he makes his own stunts with comic touches , as usual . The lighting-paced storyline slows down at times , but frenetic fight-sequences make up for it . It's an amusing romp plenty of brawls , several wild rough'n'tumble struggle scenes in particular are absolutely hilarious , including amusing bounds and leaps at a bar and laundry where Spencer fights a group of motorcycle men dressed ¨Village People¨-lookalike . This is a nice and funny juvenile story for Bud Spencer fans , as he's delightful and likable . It packs action, fist-play, slapdash, humor with tongue-in-cheek and is quite bemusing . This release has some cool and several hilarious moments ; however the Terence Hill-Bud Spencer duo films are much better . Bud Spencer gives a wonderfully warm and charming performance as Sheriff Hall . The film isn't always good , sometimes is fresh and diverting and on a couple of memorable occasions , it's frankly delicious. The movie displays innumerable laughters , jokes and slapstick . In this sweet and engaging comedy picture appears usual secondaries from B Italian series seen in several genres as Spaghetti Western and Peplum as Robert Hundar , John Bartha, Giovanni Cianfriglia , Salvatore Basile , Pietro Torrisi, Octaviano Dell'Acqua and Riccardo Pizzuti . Catching and commercial musical score with noisy songs by Guido and Mauricio De Angelis -Spaghetti Western's ordinaries- and composed by synthesizer, as usual . The motion picture written by Marcelo Fondato is middlingly directed by Michele Lupo who also directed ¨The Sheriff and the little extraterrestrial¨, ¨Bomber¨ and ¨Bulldozer¨ with similar actors , screenwriter ,technicians and of course the main actor , the great Bud Spencer . This is a passable entertaining juvenile that will appeal to Italian comedy buffs. In the 70s and 80s Bud Spencer starred various movies without Terence Hill , as he made three kind of films : 1ª he performed pictures with a little boy as partner as ¨Banana Joe ¨ , ¨Aladino¨ and ¨The Supersheriff¨ ; 2ª about cop named Flatfoot or Rizzo, also called Piedone, such as, ¨Flatfoot in Cairo , Flatfoot in Hong Kong, Flatfoot in Egypt , Flatfoot in Africa¨, furthermore the ¨Extralargo¨ series 3ª about diverse characters as a medieval knight as ¨Soldier of fortune¨ , a swindler as ¨Mr Charleston¨ or a fisherman , ex-player as ¨Bulldozer¨ and a Sheriff in this one. Rating : Average , only for Bud Spencer fans.

First of all, I wouldn't attempt to see this movie without having already seen "The Sheriff And The Satellite Kid" if I were you: it doesn't bother at all with introductions or explanations, it just throws you right into the story: Bud Spencer is a kind of wandering sheriff / guardian angel to an extra-terrestrial kid who can do magic things with a remote-control-like device. The film is pretty much what you'd expect from a Bud Spencer sci-fi comedy: full of endearingly cheesy special effects and slapsticky fight scenes (the highlight is one set in a laundry, with one bad guy going through a pressing machine!). It drags a little in spots and has some pretty poor scene transitions (in one scene the kid stumbles and falls into a lake, next time we see him he's lying on his bed with a fever), but Bud Spencer fans and kids (the primary target audience) should enjoy it. **1/2 out of 4.

I bought a dub of the english-language version of this rather obscure movie to see the footage over Six Flags over Georgia. While the film is Italian, it was shot in north Georgia, and it's a good visual record of the area. But I was surprised to find a very entertaining movie as well. It's a silly romp starring the action star Bud Spencer and the little kid from Close Encounters, a few years older than he was then. They are a perfect match, clearly enjoying each other, even as the Spencer character is being driven crazy by his pint-size friend. Basically the kid is an alien and Bud is a sheriff (this is a sequel to The Sheriff and the Satellite Kid, which I now also have gotten from ebay on the strength of this) who is protecting the kid from the government. Bad aliens set up shop in the same small town our heros wind up in, and it is up to these two to bust some heads. The violence can be a bit extreme, but in a cartoony way. The movie is colorful and fun (with a fantastic theme song), and sweet without being at all saccharine. It seems loopier and less facile than an American production probably would have been. The small dusty town has several maraudering gangs (like cowboys who throw dynamite around and bikers who wear silly costumes) and the aforementioned themepark is shot as though it were simply a section of town. A very endearing film that adults will watch and wish they had seen as kids.
