Plot

The plot follows the mishaps of two clumsy low-key criminals (Makinavaja and Popeye) in El Raval, Barcelona.[1]

Cast

Production

The film was produced by Tesauro, Dos Ocho Cine, and Tamaya PC.[4]

Release

The film was the only Spanish picture among the 30 highest-grossing releases in Spain from January to October 1992.[5]

Reception

Casimiro Torreiro of El País observed a "vocation for transgression", not implying, "unfortunately, success when it comes to transgressing", with the result from the adaptation leaving "ample room for doubt", with none of the performers (bar possibly Santpere) seemingly believing a lot in what they are doing.[4]
