A 1990 Italian comedy directed by Neri Parenti that has two silent actors (Renato Pozzetto and Paolo Villaggio) escaping their movie and facing the real world.
The movie also stars Fabio Traversa, Gian, Tiziana Pini, Enzo Cannavale, Sal Borgese, Giovanni Cianfriglia, Ennio Antonelli, and Franca Scagnetti.
It is followed by Le Comiche 2 and Le Nuove Comiche.
Tropes for the film:
- 6 Is 9: In the third episode the numbers on hotel rooms 6 and 9 keep flipping every time someone as much as touches a door, completely disregarding common sense. Room 9 is occupied by a jealous husband with a beautiful wife, followed by a busful of lovers; room 6 is occupied by newlyweds accidentally driven to nervous breakdown by the Renato and Paolo in the 1st episode. And the delivery man keeps confusing the doors (he's new to his job, he's a Traveling Salesman working off damages inflicted on the hotel earlier that day).
- Designated Victim: A couple of newlyweds are the designated victims of Renato and Paolo. They have their wedding completely ruined in the first episode and the honeymoon ruined later on. In particular the woman has the worst of it, being constantly stripped to her underwear or even naked and touched. She even develops PTSD because of it.
- Handcar Pursuit: The movie starts with a silent film with two fat men in a handcar desperately trying to get out of the way of a steam locomotive. They escape by jumping off the screen into the cinema.
