RIP Bud Spencer

[Van Basten II]

A favourite of my youth passed away, never saw his films afterwards so can't say if they hold the test of time, probably not but who knows  . Back in the days (late 70s) when a  Hill-Spencer flick  was shown on the telly we (schoolboys) would inform each other and talk about it the day after. Pardon the cliché he represented a throwback to simpler times.

 

Most recent memory of him is during a documentary on Italian westerns shown at a festival, , they of course talked about the Hill-Spencer duo and the fight sequence shown as an example of their art made everyone in the audience laugh their ass out. In a way these two were to my generation what The Three Stooges were to my previous generation

 

 

Adios Bud
