And yes, I am a Brasilan civilian too, and I even thought this film was quite laughable too!
Literal title: The Tramps and the Magick in Oz
Plot (MINOR SPOILERS):
Failing to obtain any game to eat, being the only potential food in the severe drought of Northeastern Brazil, Didi (NOT Dorothy) and her friends, Soró and Tatu, put their hut on a wagon pulled by their burro, Salvation, and head for the town of Oróz (OZ), believing they can find water there. On the way, they find a Scarecrow, whom Didi calls Clo-brush (think clown and brush), besieged by vultures. So, what do Didi and her friends do? They kill and eat the vultures (!) and take the brainless Scarecrow with them, hoping a doctor at Oróz will put them in.
They next stumble upon a warehouse, finding a man in a metal vat of rum, which is his blood, yet he desires a heart. In the town of Oróz, Sheriff Lion works for the corrupt Colonel Ferreira, who owns a pond using gigantic frogs to keep people from obtaining water without paying. Lion's girlfriend, Aninha the schoolmaster, thinks he is a coward for not standing up to the Colonel.
The Tramps, with Vat and Clowbrush, arrive and promptly rob a bakery. Sheriff Lion puts Soró and Tatu in jail, while to redeem himself, he is ordered to supervise Didi, Vat, and Clowbrush in a search for water, which is their punishment. After disguising themselves as Ferreira's guards, they are nonetheless discovered, so they flee to a desert, where a saint points them to the Wizard of Oróz, who fiendishly supports their mission...
Interesting plot spoofing the Baum novel and NOT the famous Garland 1940 film, but even though "Os Trapalhões e o Mágico de Oróz" tries to be gruesome and dark in some scenes, it turns out being quite cheesy and laughable, thinking about bleeding puppets (!) and giant human eating frogs. I laughed untel I fell off coutch!
WARNING: Do NOT watch "Os Trapalhões e o Mágico de Oróz" after having intensive surgery!!! Won't do no good!
