I looked it up after commenting. It's a Trapalhões movie. I probably watched it as a child. I don't know how or when you watched it, but I would have to defend it for historical reasons. It's the first movie with the four comedians that formed the main group together. The special effects are awful for being filmed using videotapes and sending them to the USA for transferring to 35mm (an illegal act at the time). They are clowns, as in circus clowns making cinema, which informs a lot of the comedy.

All that to say, as before, it's good dreadful, something not everyone even believe exists.
