Lace up your boots, stock up on beans, and practice your slap-fighting skills: the most popular duo in “popcorn” cinema from the 1970s through the early 1980s is back in Julien Doubois’ documentary “Terence Hill, Bud Spencer… and Me”, written by Philippe Lombard. To recount the cinematic saga of the two friends and pay them a sincere and passionate tribute, Philippe went all out, setting out himself in the duo’s footsteps across Europe, even going so far as to eat beans on camera, all while bringing together a circle of knowledgeable and enthusiastic contributors. Snubbed by critics, mocked by the know-it-alls, absent from anthologies and retrospectives, yet adored by the general public. The smart, handsome guy and the clumsy oaf. A brand of cinema whose pace, gags, stunts, good cheer, audience, and humor are reminiscent of the circus.
