As of September 2021, ''Slaps and Beans 2'' is [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1684041218/bud-spencer-and-terence-hill-slaps-and-beans-2/posts going to get funded]] through Kickstarter.

* NeverTrustATrailer: The trailer for the game has a pixelized rendition of the "Firemen's choir" scene from ''Watch Out, We're Mad'', which was only made for the trailer itself and never appears in the game proper.

** The achievements' names reference several of the duo's movies ("Super Snooper", "Banana Joe", etc.) as well as other famous properties ("[[Film/BackToTheFuture Back To Fagioli]]", "[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Metal Beans Solid]]", etc.)

Set in TheSeventies, it features both actors. After filming had wrapped on their latest movie, "'''Slaps & Beans'''", Bud and Terence are suddenly assaulted by a bunch of thugs who infiltrated the studios, kidnaps Terence's on-off girlfriend Sophia, and attempts abducting the two actors. After beating off their attackers, Bud and Terence discovers a bigger conspiracy at large, one involving the mysterious "Mr. Tango".

Set in the [[Main/TheSeventies 1970s]], starring Bud Spencer and Terence Hill... AsThemselves, after filming had wrapped on their latest movie, "'''Slaps & Beans'''", Bud and Terence are suddenly assaulted by a bunch of thugs who infiltrated the studios, kidnaps Terence's on-off girlfriend Sophia, and attempts abducting the two actors.

!! Watch Out, we're... Slaps and Beans!

''Slaps & Beans'' is a 2017 retro-style BeatEmUp action game made by Trinity Team, paying homage to the various onscreen collaborations of Creator/TerenceHill and Creator/BudSpencer.

** One graffito in the Miami stage reads "H7-25", which was the name of the alien kid in the film ''The Sheriff and the Satellite Kid'', starring Bud Spencer as the Sheriff.

* ProducePelting: The level in a supermarket have Bud and Terence fighting mooks in the fruit aisle, where they decide nott o get their hands dirty for once and start throwing apples, cabbages and pumpkins from a nearby rack on enemies.

* ShoutOut: To ''Franchise/TheTerminator'', of all things, despite the setting being at least a decade before the Terminator franchise. Bud and Terrence infiltrate a cruiser and steal the clothes of the captain and first mate while quoting the second movie.

--> '''Terrence''': Then we'll take this ship!
--> [cue the Captain and his mate getting [[DestinationDefenestration flung out of a cabin's windows]] in their ''underwear''. Followed by Bud and Terrence walking out in stolen clothes.]

* FryingPanOfDoom: Frying pans are a weapon available in the first few stages for smashing faces. Right in the intro, Bud and Terence are making their dinner of baked beans before mooks interrupt them, at which point the player is allowed to grab the still-hot pan previously used for cooking bins to break skulls.

* UniqueEnemy: Due to the location, the racetrack stage is the only stage to contain mooks in race jumpsuits, and even then there's only a tiny handful of them. Bud and Terence automatically defeats the first few in a cutscene, and when the player regains control of Bud and Terence there's only two jumpsuit mooks left.

** There's a diner called "Djumbo" in the first stage, where Bud and Terence gets their meal. Said diner is an obvious nod to the popular ''Film/{{Django}}'' series of films, at least one [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Django,_Prepare_a_Coffin which stars Terence Hill]] as Django.

* BlastingItOutOfTheirHands: A QuickTimeEvent in the game have players (in control of either Bud or Terence) beating mooks to drawing pistols, where if the player wins they would blast their opponents' guns from their grasp, and sometimes their feet (leading to mooks doing a comical HurtFootHop) or their pants dropping altogether (cue ComedicUnderwearExposure).

* CombatCueStick: There are at least two scenes where Bud and Terrence gets into fights near pool tables (one at the first stage, and one near the end). They can grab nearby cue sticks as clubs during fights.

* DestinationDefenestration: During the offscreen fight events where Bud and Terence fights off a horde of mooks while ''indoors'' (with the fight itself not shown onscreen). Some ButtonMashing is required, and if you pass, the subsequent cutscene will have mooks getting flung out of each and every available window.

* GrievousHarmWithABody: As Bud, after knocking down a mook, players can grab said mook before he regains consciousness by the belt and use him as an impromptu club on other enemies. It only works if the mook you're grabbing still have ''some'' health left though, if he's knocked out he then fades away.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: After the first stage, as Bud and Terence makes their way backstage to take a break, Bud complains that their new movie, "[[TitleDrop Slaps and Beans]]" sounds more like a "video game".

* RacingMiniGame: Bud and Terence finds out the mysterious Mr. Tango will be making an appearance in a race rally to congratulate the winner. In order to track down Mr. Tango, Bud and Terence ends up posing as racecar drivers (by pulling a MuggedForDisguise on a pair of ''actual'' drivers) and entering the race, which they must win to proceed.
* RespawningEnemies: At the end of the supermarket level, as the stage goes on to a warehouse, the boss of said stage then hollers his mooks, "What am I paying you for? Get them!" before throwing his money into the area. Extra mooks will ''literally'' respawn from the cash - as Bud and Terence you'll need to fight until the boss runs out of cash to throw.

* ShoutOut: To ''Franchise/TheTerminator'', of all things, despite the setting being at least a decade before the first Terminator film. Bud and Terrence infiltrates a cruiser and steals the clothes of the captain and first mate while quoting the first movie.

* SoundtrackDissonance: The game is really, ''really'' fond of using the jazziest, most catchy and ear-worm inducing soundtracks for background music just as Bud and Terence are beating the snot out of enemies. Just imagine ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAIsQ3BhuyA Whistles and Bells]]'' as background score for a fight scene (which this game uses in at least four levels).

* BigEater: Bud, as per the norm. Though Terence himself isn't too shabby, if the mini-stage with the two having a hot-dog eating competition is any indication (most players, in control of either Terence or Bud, should be able to gulp down 40 dogs before the time limit, though when playing against the CPU one can easily get over 50 dogs eaten).

* AndIShallTauntYou: The dwarf boss, given his advantage of being on stilts where Bud and Terence couldn't reach him, will spend much of the boss fight laughing at Bud and Terence while the players try finding a way to take him down.
