My Friends Act II — Easter Eggs & Hidden Details

Easter Eggs

Perozzi's Voice in Flashbacks

Because Renzo Montagnani dubbed Philippe Noiret in the first film, there is a specific flashback scene in Act II where Perozzi yells at his son, and astute Italian viewers can clearly hear Montagnani's voice coming from Noiret, even though Montagnani is physically present in the film playing the entirely different character of Necchi.

Alessandro Haber's Cameo

The renowned Italian actor Alessandro Haber makes a memorable, uncredited cameo in the opening scene as the grieving widower Paolo, who falls victim to Sassaroli's cruel prank at the cemetery.
