Sie nannten ihn Spencer

Bud Spencer and Terence Hill - heroes for many people! And this movie pays tribute to one of them specifically. Actually Terence Hill is in this too and I will continue to call them by their stage names, because that's the names I am used to. Even if their original Italian names are really beautiful too.

So two fans are on their way to find Bud Spencer. A trip ensues with a film crew. And a script sort of. There are staged moments that are meant to show how they meet actors from the Spencer/Hill movies. Like the one where he tells them to go away, but not even acknowledging the camera. Though the last encounter where they are thrown out, the camera at least gets mentioned.

The tension and the fun are there and the movie fine, especially if you are a fan already. The argument we traveled all this way to see him/her though is one I hate. As if someone is obligated to spend time with anyone else just because they come unanounced to their home ... but again, since this is (likely) scripted maybe don't pay too much attention to this "dramaturgic" point. It ends as expected and I am certain no one will be dissapointed ... I would have loved to meet Bud, but that isn't possible anymore since he has died. The guy who dubbed him in Germany died too shortly thereafter ... From fans for fans, with a lot of archival material and a lot of background on both stars (that you may or may not have known already of course)
