Sie nannten ihn Spencer

He competed twice in the Olympics as a swimmer, but Carlo Pedersoli is know today less for his scissors kick than his fists of iron: Under the screen name Bud Spencer, Pedersoli could sledgehammer his opponents on the head or double-cuff their ears – one of Pedersoli's few inventions that wasn't patented, strangely enough. Carlo Pedersoli met fellow actor Mario Girotti on the set of Spaghetti Western GOD FORGIVES... I DON'T! When the director asked them to change their names to sound less Italian, Bud Spencer and Terence Hill were born. They made over 20 slapstick-brawl buddy comedies together, in which they exchange rapidfire one-liners and fisticuffs with the bad guys. In this road movie doc, two of his greatest fans set out to finally meet their idol in person, as does director Karl-Martin Pold, who spent eight years working on this unique portrait.
