Bud spencer movies

Film duo

Terence Hill (born Mario Girotti in 1939) and Bud Spencer (born Carlo Pedersoli, 1929–2016) are Italian actors who made numerous action-comedy and Spaghetti Western films together.^[1] They "garnered world acclaim and attracted millions to theater seats".^[2] While Hill's characters were agile and youthful, Spencer always played the "phlegmatic, grumpy strong-arm man with a blessed, naive child's laughter and a golden heart".^[3]

History

They first appeared in the same movie under their real names in Hannibal (1959), but not as a duo: they only appeared in supporting roles and had no scenes in common. They did not meet during filming.^[4] Their first movie as a duo was God Forgives... I Don't! (1967). Originally Peter Martell was chosen as the leading actor next to Spencer, but the day before the first shoot Martell broke his foot and was replaced by Hill, which launched their partn Terence hill movies!
