Terence Hill and Bud Spencer

[2] While Hill's characters were agile and youthful, Spencer always played the "phlegmatic, grumpy strong-arm man with a blessed, naive child's laughter and a golden heart".

[5][6] The film director asked the two actors to change their names, deeming them to be too Italian-sounding for a Western movie.

When the film was first announced, Peter Martell was set to play Trinity and George Eastman Bambino.

[8] The two characters were later portrayed by Hill and Spencer, who became a popular comic duo following the release of God Forgives...

Hill played the title swashbuckler in Blackie the Pirate (1971), in which Spencer had a small role.

Shortly after filming for Blackie the Pirate (1971) was finished, the production for Trinity Is Still My Name (1971) started.

These films gathered popularity for both actors, especially throughout much of Europe and parts of Asia and South America.

[14][15] Spencer was generally dubbed by actor Glauco Onorato in the Italian versions of his films due to his thick Naples accent,[16] although he was voiced by Sergio Fiorentini in Troublemakers.

The judicial system agreed and ruled against FVI, which paid Smith damages and court costs.

Based on his real life similarity with Spencer, later a series of Hungarian comedies were created in the Bud Spencer-Terence Hill genre, in which Bujtor played hard-hitting detective Csöpi Ötvös, partnered with fellow Hungarian actor András Kern.

In 2017, a video game inspired by their films, Bud Spencer & Terence Hill: Slaps and Beans, was released.
