Non-western films of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer

[Arizona Colt]

Oh yeau as Christopher mentions the Terence Hill solo effort Superfuzz(or Super Snooper) is really good!!

Loved this one since seeing it as a kid. The DVD version is apparently the British release as it has different scenes and music in places that differ from the US version. The "US" disc which bears the title, SUPER FUZZ, is actually the SUPER SNOOPER version. I think the shorter US version (released here on VHS from Embassy) plays much better. The extra scenes seem more like outtakes and it's odd watching the movie with the music cues switched around in some places.

March or Die is a movie well-worth watching. Actors include Gene Hackman, Terence Hill, Catherine Deneuve, Max von Sydow, Ian Holm (funny seeing a British actor as a Moor, but after seeing Sean Connery in The Wind and the Lion nothing surprises me), and some other good actors.

By the way, the IMDB mentions as filming locations just California and Morocco. However, I'm sure most of the SW fans will recognize in the movie the fortress built for El Condor (though in the movie its walls have a coat of brownish paint and it has been reworked to look Arabic), the dunes of te desert that Tuco forced Blondie to cross, and also the well-known railroad tracks around La Calahorra in Almeria (where Tuco jumped off the train in GBU and Henry Fonda confronted single-handed The Wild Bunch in My Name Is Nobody).

7 out of 10. 

I taped this off ITV4 a couple oy years ago and it's pretty good if a little downbeat.Terence Hill proves his worth as an action figure with his trademark acrobatics but not so much with the humour if i remember it correctly.

Since i last posted here i got  I'M FOR THE HIPPOPOTAMUS which is one big tedious yawn from start to finish.

But WHO FINDS A TREASURE FINDS A FRIEND has grown on me with repeat viewings and the Moving,Moving,Moving theme song is real catchy.

One thing i haven't done so far which i intend to put right is to check out Bud Spencers FLATFOOT series where he plays a city cop who prefers fists to firearms.

I recently got a few box sets of the two, from germany (mostly german audio, sometimes italian as well, and very rarely some english audio or subtitles) and working my way all the from "Rita nel West" to "Troublemakers". I'll let you know which ones I like best.

So far, I like their first non-western collaboration "All the Way Boys" best. "Watch Out, We're Mad" is also great, and is available on DVD in the US. "Two Missionaries" is a bit lacking. Right now, I'm busy with the Bud Spencer "Flatfoot" movies, which are good in their own right. My memory of the other recent ones is a bit hazy, since I've been a teenager when I last saw them.

I've got a very knackered and cut version (15 minute ) of this on video tape so i'd like to give an uncut widescreen print a chance especially as i'm a fan of Collizi's western trilogy-well the first two. Similarly i have a dreadful version of BOOT HILL.

If you can play Region 2 DVDs, look for german releases of "Hügel der blutigen Stiefel" (Boot Hill). There are some with an english dub, e.g. on amazon.de. They also have a DVD of "Zwei Himmelhunde auf dem Weg zur Hölle" (All the way boys), which amazon states as having engish audio, but you should confirm that before ordering.

Thanks for that Scarabaeus.

I had trouble earlier in the year from trying to order a couple of sw's from independent sellers on Amazon.de (couldn't process the transaction )but i'll look into those others dvds.
