The Bomber is a 1982 Italian film.
action
Bud Graziano, a former world-class professional boxer , whom everyone called "bomber" during his active time, has turned away from sport and turned to fishing . There he believes he can find a distance from his past and the memory of his great time as an athlete, which ended so mysteriously. But his escape from what once was is suddenly interrupted when he heads for his Italian home port. Without further ado he is told that his ship has been sold as scrap by the owner. As the captain , he does not see a bright figure. Graziano has no choice but to pack his belongings and go ashore.
As soon as he has solid ground under his feet, he runs into Jerry, who is followed by a group of thugs. Graziano is able to free him and as a thank you Jerry invites him to his home. It turns out that Jerry runs a small boxing stable, much to the dismay of the US Army , which has its base nearby. Those thugs had also been hired by the Americans to further intimidate Jerry so that under no circumstances would he create a man who could defeat their protégé. Jerry plans to hire Graziano as a boxer, or at least as a trainer for his stable. Graziano doesn't want to know anything about it at first, until he learns that Rosco Dunn is the coach of the American boxing relay. That Rosco Dunn had defeated him in his last fight as a boxer. As if by chance, Graziano runs into Giorgi Desideri in a fight in a bar with US soldiers. Graziano recognizes the talent and persuades him to become a boxer. It comes to the fight for the local championships, in which Desideri knocks the American Newmann KO and qualifies for further tasks.
Surprisingly, however, he loses the next fight without using his most powerful weapon, the right. Graziano and Desideri get into an argument, in the course of which Desideri turns away from him. In the meantime, Jerry's training room was also set on fire. Desideri begins to work as a henchman for criminals and a short time later meets Graziano again, who wants to talk into his conscience. But Desideri refuses and instead confronts him with his past. Graziano did not face a rematch after his defeat, but simply disappeared, which Desideri accuses him of cowardice. A few days later, Desideri appears at Graziano's and wants to use force to collect debts. The bomber countered him, however, demonstrating how much the young man still lacks to be a really good boxer.
After this action, Desideri ponders, returns to Jerry and Graziano and challenges Rosco Dunn to a fight. A fight ensues in which Desideri has to take a hard time and in which he again fails to use his dreaded rights. His coach Graziano furiously grabs his hand during a ring break and is horrified to find that it has been cut. The same thing had happened to himself; the mafia was behind the action . Graziano's anger finally grips him, he himself gets into the ring, tears the boxing gloves off Rosco Dunn's hands, throws the referee out and finally knocks Dunn out with his bare fists. Meanwhile, the audience celebrates Graziano's rebirth and loudly chants “ Bomber, bomber ! "
criticism
Mymovies notes: "A Hollywood-oriented product that is completely tailored to Bud Spencer and parodies his stereotypes at the same time."
“Certainly an entertaining film thanks to its rhythm and wealth of action and also its soulful scenes. Bud Spencer gives Bud Spencer in the work of his friend Michele Lupo, who leads here with just as sure and unspecific hand as his American colleagues. "
The lexicon of international films in short: "Series product with and for Bud Spencer" .
Trivia
The brawl scene in the Hafenkneipe is initiated by a South Tyrolean Schuhplattler group from Laives and the yodeler Maria Sulzer from Lana . Together with Bud Spencer the typical dance figure of the "Watschinger" (also: "Watschnplattler", " Watschentanz ") is performed. The typical blue apron (“Firtig” or “Fürtig”) indicates that they are from South Tyrol.
