Sadly appears is for real. Lots of fun from his movies. RIP.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2016 - 4:27 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Spencer had an uncredited role as an Imperial Guard in 1951's QUO VADIS.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2016 - 4:38 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) In 1957's A FAREWELL TO ARMS, Spencer played a Carabiniere in the Italian national police force. Charles Vidor directed the film. Mario Nascimbene's score was released on CD by DRG in 1996.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2016 - 4:50 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Appearing under his given name of Carlo Pedersoli, Spencer had a small role in 1959's HANNIBAL. Also in the film, in a somewhat larger role, was Spencer's future partner, Terence Hill, who appeared under his given name of Mario Girotti. HANNIBAL was the first film in which the two appeared together, and the only one where they are not the stars of the film. In fact, they share no scenes and didn't actually meet until 8 years later. The film was directed by Edgar G. Ulmer. Carlo Rustichelli's score was released by Digitmovies in 2008.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2016 - 5:08 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) On 1967's GOD FORGIVES--I DON'T, Pietro Martellanza was cast as "Cat Stevens" but broke his foot at the beginning of the shooting and was replaced by Terence Hill, who then met co-star Bud Spencer for the first time. Spencer played "Earp Hargitay," a brawny insurance detective who joins forces with Cat to find some stolen money. Giuseppe Colizzi directed the film. Carlo Rustichelli's score was released by Digitmovies in 2006.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2016 - 5:13 PM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Nooooo! Not Bud! Another 1 gone. He even developed his own unique punch - the trademark big fist brought down on a head to knockout opponents in fistfights. Great in 5 man army.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2016 - 5:30 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) In 1968's TODAY WE KILL . . . TOMORROW WE DIE!, Bud Spencer gives one of his rare non-comedic performances as "O'Bannion," one of four crack gunmen hired by a vengeance-hungry cowboy (Montgomery Ford) who leaves prison with a burning desire to find and kill the man who murdered his wife and framed him for a bank robbery. Tonino Cervi directed this revenge western. The score by Angelo Francesco Lavagnino was released by Digitmovies in 2009.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2016 - 5:56 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) In 1968's BEYOND THE LAW, Spencer plays "James Cooper," the leader of a group of bandits who attack a wagon train carrying some newly insured money. Giorgio Stegani directed the film. Riz Ortolani's score was released by GDM in 2007.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2016 - 10:03 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) 1968's ACE HIGH was the second in a trilogy of films starring Terence Hill and Bud Spencer that began with GOD FORGIVES . . . I DON'T (1967) and ended with BOOT HILL (1969). Eli Wallach had the lead in the film which, like GOD FORGIVES, was directed by Giuseppe Colizzi. As in the first film, Terence Hill played "Cat Stevens," but this time Spencer played a character named "Hutch Bessy." The two were bank robbers who were tracked by Wallach. ACE HIGH did not open in the U.S. until September 1969. Carlo Rustichelli's score was most recently released by Digitmovies in 2005.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2016 - 10:15 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) In 1969's THE 5-MAN ARMY, outlaw "Luiz Dominguez" (Nino Castelnuovo) travels to Texas to hire three men to help his boss, the "Dutchman" (Peter Graves), steal a shipment of gold in Mexico. The three are "Mesito" (Bud Spencer), a Mexican of great strength; "Augustus" (James Daly), a dynamite expert; and "Samurai" (Tetsuro Tamba), a Japanese knifethrower. Don Taylor directed the film. Film Score Monthly released Ennio Morricone's score in 2009.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2016 - 10:36 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) 1970's THEY CALL ME TRINITY was the fourth pairing of Bud Spencer and Terence Hill, but it was released in the U.S. before their third film. After the 1971 box-office success of this movie in America, earlier westerns made by the pair were re-released (or first released) stateside. The film also was their first really massive international box-office hit and made the two actors superstars. In this light-hearted film, "Trinity" (Hill) pays a visit to his brother, "Bambino" (Bud Spencer), an escaped criminal posing as the sheriff of a frontier town. Together, they try to stop the shifty "Major Harriman" (Farley Granger) from driving a group of Mormon farmers off their land. Enzo Barboni directed the film. Franco Micalizzi's score was most recently released by Digitmovies in 2013.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2016 - 10:53 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) A sequel to Hill and Spencer's biggest film soon followed. TRINITY IS STILL MY NAME (1971) found "Bambino" (Spencer) trying to teach his brother Trinity how to become an outlaw, but the two wind up saving a pioneer family and breaking up an arms ring instead. Enzo Barboni again directed (using the name "E.B. Clucher"). The film, which was released in the U.S. in mid-1972, was team-scored by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis. Digitmovies released the soundtrack in 2013.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2016 - 11:12 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Avco Embassy's success with the "Trinity" films in the U.S. caused small distributor Film Ventures International to locate the third teaming of Hill and Spencer, 1969's BOOT HILL, and release it in America in late 1972. The final part of the trilogy Hill and Spencer made with director Giuseppe Colizzi, prior to the Trinity movies, is a rather serious film, so it may have disappointed those expecting a comedy, particularly since the advertising referenced the Trinity pictures. In the film, "Cat Stevens" (Hill) teams up with the friend of a murder victim (Woody Strode) and his former buddy "Hutch" (Spencer) to face the perpetrators--a bunch of corrupt land grabbers, led by a man called "Honey Fisher" (Victor Buono), who are chasing honest people from their properties. Carlo Rustichelli completed his scoring duties on the trilogy, with the soundtrack being released by Digitmovies in 2004.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2016 - 11:33 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) In Dario Argento's 1971 thriller FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET, "Roberto Tobias" (Michael Brandon), a young rock drummer, finds himself constantly stalked by a strange man garbed in black and wearing dark sunglasses. Despite its serious undertones, the film tosses in a number of oddball characters which give the film a satirical lining. Highlighting this humorous aspect are characters whose purpose are to assist Roberto: Bud Spencer as the fish swallowing "Godfrey" (“God” for short), his Bible quoting homeless sidekick the “Professor” (Oreste Lionello), and a gay private investigator (Jean-Pierre Marielle) who Roberto hires despite the fact that he has never solved a case. Ennio Morricone's score for the film was most recently released by Cinevox in 2007.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2016 - 11:58 PM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Bud Spencer had the lead, and Jack Palance co-starred, in the 1972 western IT CAN BE DONE...AMIGO. In the film, a good-natured rogue (Spencer) is saved from an illegal hanging by a lawyer and his rich young charge happening by on a stagecoach. The lawyer is killed in the ensuing mayhem, and the rogue takes the kid under his wing to a town where the boy has an inheritance that everyone, including a gunslinger (Palance), is trying to get. The film was shot on the same set that was the McBain ranch from Sergio Leone's ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST. In that film, the railroad was supposed to run through the ranch because there was a well on the property. At one point in this movie Bud Spencer says, "so this is the famous well." Maurizio Lucidi directed the film. The score by Luis Enríquez Bacalov was released by Digitmovies in 2011.    Posted:   Jun 28, 2016 - 12:26 AM     By:   Bob DiMucci   (Member) Spencer and Hill made a modern era film with 1972's ALL THE WAY BOYS. In this adventure-comedy, "Plata" (Hill) and "Salud" (Spencer) are pilots ditching aircraft for insurance money. But they wind up crashing for real in the jungles of South America. The film was released in the U.S. in 1973. After appearing in this film, Spencer became a real life jet airplane and helicopter pilot. He established Mistral Air in 1984, an air-mail company that also transported pilgrims, but later sold it to Poste Italiane to buy a textile mill that produced clothes for children. Giuseppe Colizzi (ACE HIGH) directed. The score by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis was released by Beat Records in 2012. Spencer co-starred with James Coburn and Telly Savalas in the 1972 Civil War western A REASON TO LIVE, A REASON TO DIE!. Branded a coward for surrendering his New Mexico fort to Confederate Major Ward (Savalas) without firing a shot, a Union colonel (Coburn) attempts to redeem himself by leading a band of condemned prisoners on a suicide mission to recapture it. Among them is looter "Eli Sampson" (Spencer). Tonino Valerii (DAY OF ANGER) directed the film, which was released in the U.S. in 1974. Riz Ortolani's score was issued by Digitmovies in 2009.    Posted:   Jun 30, 2016 - 5:29 AM     By:   leagolfer   (Member) yes. Its a real shame. A very good actor, nice guy, love sheriff & the satellite kid, all Bud's films were funny & most of the scores were good too, when ever I felt down or a little pissed I would watch a bud film to brighten me up, Mr spencer, you'll be sorely missed, great films, laughs, amazing actor, unique. Thank you.    Posted:   Jun 30, 2016 - 7:54 AM     By:   TheSeeker   (Member) Of all the bad things happening this year, losing Bud Spencer was the biggest gut-punch. His (and Terence Hills') films were an indelible part of my childhood and even today, I can speak most of the dialogue from movies like Bulldozer, Banana Joe or All the Way Boys. His popularity here in Germany was enormous. A major, major loss. Here are three of the best Oliver Onions song for Bud's movies: And, of course, the best of 'em all:    Posted:   Jul 1, 2016 - 2:00 PM     By:   CindyLover   (Member) And from The Sheriff And The Satellite Kid:     Non-Film Score Discussion: RIP Bud Spencer    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
