About Go for It
Two unlikely travelers become tangled in a web of wrong identities when Doug O'Riordan gives a ride to a hitchhiking Rosco Frazer. A routine lift spirals after law officers mistake them for a pair of bank robbers, forcing a frantic escape. The duo slips away only to stumble into a second case of mistaken identity, this time at the airport where their attempt to catch a flight is misread as a cover for secret agents. What follows is a string of fast paced gags and near misses as the stubborn mismatches of personality collide with a world that expects cops and criminals to stay clearly separated.
Directed by Enzo Barboni, Go for It sits squarely in the Hill and Spencer comedy wheelhouse, with Marco Barboni credited as the creator. It relies on fast chase sequences, pratfalls and sharp exchanges that fans expect from the duo.
Box office data for Go for It is not widely documented, so exact worldwide gross isn't readily available. Industry box office trackers rarely separated this title from the pair's other collaborations.
Go for It highlights the Hill Spencer dynamic with staccato timing and harmless aerial stunts. The film embodies 1980s European action comedy energy, delivering laughs through character friction and situational mishaps rather than grim violence, which helped cement the duo's appeal across markets.
Reception to the picture centers on the leads' rapport and the light tone. Critics noted the consistency of humor and pace, while some saw the plot as a thin frame for gags. Overall, the film satisfies fans looking for easygoing, crowd-pleasing action comedy.
