'''Go for it!''' (original title ''Nati con la camicia'' [[note]] literally, BornLucky [[/note]]) is an Italian movie from 1983, starring Creator/BudSpencer and Terence Hill and directed by Enzo Barboni. It is a comedy and parody of SpyFiction filmed in Miami.

Charming dodger Rosco Frazer (Terence) and former fisherman and convict Doug O’Riordan (Bud) met by chance during a brawl in a roadhouse. Because of a misunderstanding, they're mistake for truck-jackers and, after getting away from an encounter with the cops, drive to an airport to leave the state. There they pose as two missing passengers for the flight to Miami named Mason and Steinber, not knowing that those two are CIA agents.

Mistaken for the real deal, they receive a suitcase with a million dollars inside and, once in Miami, they end up in the CIA headquarters to meet their boss, "Tiger", who task them with a dangerous mission: while impersonating two rich texans, they have to investigate on a secret criminal organization in Miami Beach, lead by the mysterious megalomaniac K1, while dealing with many mishaps, assassination attempts and surreal, embarassing accidents.

* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Parodied with K1's secret plan, the K-Bomb: it leaves people and buildings intact but will remove numbers from everyone's minds. Doug and Rosco though don't take it too seriously.
-->'''K1''': "And without numbers, civilization will collapse! Calculators will give inconprehensible rubbish, measurements won't make any sense and everything will fall into chaos!"
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Spider and the Vamp genuinely care for each other, the latter is even shocked when she accidentally punches him during the final brawl.
* EvilPlan: K1 intends to wait for the launching of a space shuttle he plans to destroy with another missile carrying the K-Bomb: the explosion will spread its effects all over the world and cause the disappearence of the concept of "number" from everyone's mind on the planet, which will result into chaos.
* FacelessGoons: K1's men on the ship are all dressed in white pants, white t-shirts saying "We Love K1", black balaclavas and black caps, which hide their faces entirely.

* LargeHam: K1. So very much.
-->'''K1''': (referring to pushing the K-Bomb launching bottom) "A small yet sublime gesture which will send me, K1, [[SmallNameBigEgo amongst the Gods of Olympus"]]"
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: At one point, when asked if he's on an holiday, Rosco asks if "[[Film/JamesBond James Bond]] ever took an holiday".

* LookBehindYou: How Doug manages to evade the four oriental assassins. It works, surprisingly.
* LovePotion: One of the gadgets given to "Mason and Steinberg" is the so-called "Erox Plus", a powerful aphrodisiac. Tiger has Doug try it with a rather homely, fat intern who's said to be extremely prude, and she's completely enthralled, much to Doug's displeasure. It's not used later, however.

* MindScrew: Near the end, Doug and Rosco follow two of K1's henchmen in the toilet of a fastfood... then the door locks behind them and the entire room acts as a lift taking them downward. Once it stops they step out... on a cruise ship in the middle of the sea.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Rosco completely derails K1's plan and almost gets away with it... only to accidentally speak with his ventriloquist voice to K1, which makes him realize he has been tricked. Lampshaded by Doug.
->'''K1''': "You.... you're a ventriloquist! [[PrecisionFStrike You're a fucking ventriloquist!]]"
->'''Doug''': "No, no, he's not a ventriloquist, [[BaitAndSwitch he's a dork! That's what he is!]]"
* NoNameGiven: Tiger and Spider's girlfriend.
* NoodleIncident: Apparently, Doug was arrested because he ''sunk'' a yacht which "disturbed him" while he was fishing.
* OhCrap:
** K1's spy has one when Doug starts using his hand as an hamburger's patty to make him talk.
** The informant in the hotel has one when he reaches his car to run away... only to notice that someone removed the steering wheel.

* OnlyKnownByHisNickname: The CIA boss is only known by his nickname of "Tiger".
* RightHandCat: Before we see him in full, K1 has an Italian Pointer by his side.
* RuleOfCool: InUniverse, when the heroes finally confront K1, Rosco asks him what his name stands for. The answer?
-->'''K1''': "Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I liked the sound of 'K1' and so I took it for myself. [[LampshadeHanging It sounds mysterious, doesn't it?]]"
* RunningGag: The CIA is not as efficient as it would like to be, and a frequent gag has a CIA agent asking Rosco and Doug to "not mention" a certain mishap they witnessed to their higher ups.
* SirSwearsALot: K1, compared to the rest of the cast, has quite the potty mouth and frequently uses swearwords.
* StickySituation: One of the car's trinkets spills some incredibly strong glue on the road: when the bad guy's car drives over it, the four wheels get stuck there, breaking down the car.
* StockWushuWeapons: The four Chinese assassins coming after Doug showcase dual dao, nunchaku, sanjiegun and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers butterfly knives]]
* StuffBlowingUp: One female assassin tries to kill Rosco with a bomb disguised as a cherry in his drink. Rosco notices in time and throws it in a nearby bin, where it explodes.
-->'''Rosco''': "Hey! That could have given be an ulcer!"
* TakeOverTheWorld: K1 candidly and confidently admits that soon enough he will rule over the entire world, which is why "Mason" and "Steinberg" should join him. The two are unimpressed.
* {{Ventriloquism}}: Rosco is a ventriloquist. He uses this ability to trick some cops and make a getaway and in the climax to mess up with the countdown of the K-Bomb, causing K1 to press the button too late.
* VillainousBreakdown: With his plan derailed and his henchmen defeated, all that K1 can do in the end is sadly lean on the railing of his ship, muttering that's all over.
* WeCanRuleTogether: When the duo reach K1's secret cruise ship, the latter compliments them for avoiding his "generous assassinations attempts" and offers them the chance to join him in hiS plan for world domination.
* WouldntHitAGirl: When the Vamp tries to beat up Rosco and Doug at the end, the former refuses to fight back as he doesn't hit ladies and simply dodges her. Doug has no such problems, though he simply [[ComedicSpanking spanks her on the buttocks]] before disengaging.
* YankTheDogsChain: [[spoiler: After all they did, Rosco and Doug are unable to recover their million, but they get to meet the president.]]
