Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Crime Busters is a classic buddy-cop comedy from the late '70s, centered on the comedic duo Bud Spencer and Terence Hill. There's no evidence of forced representation or overemphasis on modern identity politics, it's all about character flaws, humorous antics, and chemistry.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film playfully pokes at authority figures and social norms, but does so in the typical lighthearted, slapstick style of the era, nothing here undermines religion, family, or traditional masculinity in any meaningful way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Crime Busters doesn’t push any overt ideology or villainize traditional perspectives. The movie lives in its own slapstick universe, happily ignoring modern social justice themes or monocultural messaging.
