Overall, Hill and Spencer worked together on 18 films, including (using their most common U.S. titles) the spaghetti Westerns They Call Me Trinity (1970) and its sequel, Trinity Is Still My Name (1971). Their last teaming, Troublemakers (1994), was also in this genre.
Bud Spencer was an Italian swimmer and actor who appeared in over 70 films over the course of a career that spanned over 60 years. Born in Naples, Spencer, who was born Carlo Pedersoli, was a gifted athlete as a very young boy.
Many years together, at work and in life: Terence and Bud developed a true friendship, of the sort that does not dwindle in time. Heartbroken by Bud's death, Terence said to journalists: “Having Bud around was fun! I already know that when we meet again, his first words shall be: 'We have never quarrelled!

What was the last movie Bud Spencer and Terence Hill were in?
Troublemakers (1994), their last screen pairing, were in the same genre. Hill played the title swashbuckler in Blackie the Pirate (1971), in which Spencer had a small role.
At the time cast and crew in Westerns frequently adopted American names to give the film a better chance of selling in non-Italian speaking countries; Girotti changed his name to "Terence Hill". He picked the name from a list of 20 he was given, the story about using his wife's name was a publicity idea.
No, they're not. Most Americans have no clue about Italian movies or television. Despite very American names, Spencer and Hill aren't American. Bud Spencer is a fascinating character in general, but in the US he's an unknown quantity.
While many people claim that "A Genius, Two Partners, and a Dupe" is a sequel to "My Name Is Nobody", it really isn't - Terence Hill's character here has a different name, and it's taking place before the events of MNIN.
Why did the Italian actor Terence Hill have his voice dubbed over in Italian by an Italian voice double? Terence Hill had a German mother and lived as a child in Germany. Although fluent in Italian, his accent has a German inflection and does not fit well in an Italian only dialog.
Carlo Pedersoli (31 October 1929 – 27 June 2016), known professionally as Bud Spencer, was an Italian actor, professional swimmer and water polo player. He was known for action-comedy and spaghetti Western roles with his long-time film partner and friend Terence Hill.
Terence lives in Massachusetts and is a film producer, as well as talented and respected actor. Terence Hill spent two years of his childhood from 1943 to 1945 in the German industrial town of Lommatzsch near Dresden, his mother's birthplace.
Who Finds a Friend Finds a Treasure (Italian: Chi trova un amico trova un tesoro also known as A Friend Is a Treasure) is an 1981 Italian adventure comedy film, directed by Sergio Corbucci and starring the comedy team of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer. It was filmed at Key Biscayne, Florida.
“Spaghetti” Westerns are a subgenre of Westerns whose name references the circumstances and location of their filming. Generally, a Spaghetti Western is a low-budget film produced by Italian directors (hence the “spaghetti” connection) and filmed in Europe, primarily in Almería and the Tabernas Desert.
In Hungary, as in many other Eastern European countries, the films with Bud Spencer and Terence Hill enjoy an enormous popularity that dates back to the Communist era, when American films were often banned and therefore represented a window on the wellbeing and freedom of the Western world.
If I'm not mistaken, both Bud Spencer and Terence Hill used to act in English (Bud Spencer in some scenes acted also in Italian) but then they were dubbed in both English and Italian. In practice they put physicality and expressiveness, while "cinematographic" voices were given by others.
“And of course Bud was an athlete as everyone knows, and I came from artistic gymnastics, so we had fun filming these scenes without using any stunt-doubles for ourselves. We were rewarded by the audience who liked to see us actually in the scenes, instead of seeing an anonymous fight with a stunt-double.”
Since 1967 Terence is married to Lori Zwicklbauer from Germany (Bavaria). The two got to know each other during the shooting to God forgives, Django never! She was employed as a dialogue trainer at the film shooting.
The film was shot in nine weeks. Filming took place at Acoma Pueblo, the ghost town of Cabezon, the former mining town of Mogollon, the mission of San Esteban Del Rey in New Mexico and in the gypsum dunes at White Sands.
The dubbing is so prevalent it becomes an artistic decision more than a purely merchandising one. It's part of the charm of the Spaghetti western and Trinity gladly soaks in this tradition.
