==Plot==
Salud ([[Bud Spencer]]) and Plata ([[Terence Hill]]) eke out a living as [[bush pilots]] in South America. Beside carrying a few passengers and a small amount of cargo, their most lucrative activity is in [[Insurance fraud|faking aircraft crashes]], on behalf of Salud's brother ([[Alexander Allerson]]), who will be able to collect the insurance money.
En route to [[Santarém, Pará|Santarém]], the two pilots crash for real in the middle of the [[Amazon rainforest|Amazon jungle]]. In a native village, they meet Matto ([[Cyril Cusack]]), an old man who takes Salud to see a mountain and tells him the story of three friends who killed each other. There, the duo find an emerald mining operation run by the unscrupulous Mr. Ears ([[Reinhard Kolldehoff]]). Ears dictates prices on the black market, uses thugs to keep out competitors, and keeps his workers as [[slave labor]].
Plata and Salud decide they will confront Ears, using aircraft to deliver their goods, and offering the natives a much better life. Wanting to fly Matto to  Salvador, where he would live in a modern city, Plata and Salud take the old man and his dog along with them, but he passes away on the flight. Plata finds a large emerald tied to a cord that Matto wore.
In Salvador, the two inept crooks try to cash in on their find, but end up in jail. After a successful breakout, the pair find themselves pitted against the ruthless Ears, but in the end, right prevails.

==Reception==
In trying to reach a more international audience, the original 120-minute Italian version ({{lang|it|... Più forte ragazzi!}}) of ''... All the Way, Boys!'' was re-edited into a 90-minute version and re-dubbed into English with dialogue and post-synchronization by Gene Luotto. The resultant release did not receive positive reviews, with film Historian Howard Hughes noting that ".. the resultant incoherence doesn't help the sluggish narrative."<ref name="Hughes p. 255"/>
Jim Craddock in ''Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever'' said, "The "Trinity cast up to no good ... crash-land a plane in the [[Andes]], in the hope of finding slapstick, but found none."<ref>Craddock 2001, p. 62.</ref>

All the Way, Boys!'' won the Golden Screen award at the 1973 Golden Screen, Germany and the Silver Ribbon for Best Score (''Migliore Musica'') by [[Guido & Maurizio De Angelis|Guido De Angelis and Maurizio De Angelis]] from the Italian National Syndicate of Film Journalists, 1973.<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069095/awards?ref_=tt_awd "Awards: 'All the Way Boys'."] ''IMDb''.
