'O Trapalho na Arca de No' is a 1983 Brazilian adventure parody film, directed by Del Rangel and starring Renato Arago. This film is loosely based in the story of Noah's Ark and Steven Spielberg's 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', with humorous effects.
Plot
The zoo janitor Duda and Kiko and Zeca friends form a group of animal protection. Therefore, they are called by the mystical Noah for a rescue mission of the Pantanal fauna and flora. The area is threatened with extinction due to exploitation of Morel skin smugglers and his foreman Juarez. They accept the mission and on the way are the archaeologist Marcos and Carla photographer in search of a pyramid left in place by the Phoenician civilization. Together, the bad guys win and in the end, Duda is invited by Noah to join a group of special people who will populate a new world.
Production
Renato Arago said that 'O Trapalho na Arca de No' was inspired by Steven Spielberg's 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'. It was done during the separation of the Trapalhes, which lasted only six months. Ded Santana, Mussum and Zacarias made the film 'Atrapalhando a Suate', and there was competition between the two films in theaters. The song chosen for the opening of the film is called "Mars: Bringer of War" by The Planets composed by Gustav Holst.
