| 2021-03-14 - 10:38 am - Marvelous Marvin Hagler is dead |
 |
Former boxer and actor Marvelous Marvin Hagler is dead. Terence Hill fans know Hagler as Hill's partner in the action comedy "Virtual Weapon". He also starred in the Italian action films "Indio" and "Indio 2 - The Revolt" in 1989 and 1990. However, Hagler became internationally known not as an actor but as a professional boxer. Hagler is considered one of the best middleweight boxers of all time. From 1980 to 1987 he was undefeated world champion in this weight category. He won 62 of his 67 professional fights. Yesterday he died unexpectedly at his home in New Hampshire. He was 66 years old.

 |
The Bud Spencer Museum was supposed to open last year, but then the pandemic cancelled all plans. But now we are in a positive mood again and are relaunching the idea with old passion and new energy: On 27 June 2021, the fifth anniversary of Buddy's death, the museum in Berlin will open its doors and will offer you with the support of the Pedersoli family exclusive insights into the life of the unforgotten actor, competitive swimmer, songwriter, pilot and writer Bud Spencer. In front of the museum, a life-size statue of Bud Spencer will greet the fans, there will be an official fan shop and visitors will also find food and drinks in the style of Bud. In addition to the normal museum activities, there will be various special events on the weekends, such as concerts with music from the films or film screenings in the museum's own cinema lounge. You can find all further information on the museum's homepage. We look forward to see you!

| 2021-02-11 - 8:19 am - Happy Birthday Giuseppe Pedersoli! |
 |
Bud Spencer's son Giuseppe celebrates his 60th birthday today. Giuseppe experienced the atmosphere on film sets at an early age thanks to his father. In 1978, at the age of 17, Giuseppe was seen for the first time in a small role in one of his father's films. In "Odds and even" he played a naval officer. And obviously Giuseppe enjoyed such small appearances, because until 1996 he appeared in nine more of his father's films, including the series "Extralarge" as a ruthless terrorist.
Giuseppe was even more active behind the camera than in front of it. In the 1980s he worked as an assistant director, not only on his father's films such as "Bomber", "Double Trouble" or "Aladdin", but also on Hill's first directorial work "Don Camillo". From 1990 he switched to producing and also wrote scripts for his father. His first production was "Speaking of the Devil". Projects like "Extralarge", "The Troublemakers", "We are angels", "To the Limit" and "Padre Speranza" followed. Giuseppe also provided the idea for Bud's last TV series "I delitti del cuoco". He also produced the series.
In the years following Bud Spencer's first book publication, Giuseppe accompanied his father at several book signings in Germany. Fans also had the chance to see him at the premiere of "Sie nannten ihn Spencer" in Munich or at the inauguration of the first Bud Spencer street in Ponte Taro, Italy (see photo) and also at the opening of the Bud Spencer exhibition in Naples. We were able to meet him on several of these occasions and always found him to be a friendly and approachable person. We congratulate him, wish him all the best for the years to come and hope to meet him again this year in Berlin when the Bud Spencer Museum opens its doors.

| 2020-12-24 - 1:20 pm - Merry Christmas! |
We've been working on a little Spencer/Hill fan project over the last few days, creating a fan version of the Oliver Onions fire choir video released last week.
We were overwhelmed by how many fans spontaneously and enthusiastically supported us! It was great fun and showed us that the Spencer/Hill community really is one big family. Within just four days we received 48 videos with 77 participants from five different countries. Many thanks for the organisational cooperation to Marcus Zölch, Michael Maaß and Ili Jelusic from Festival Team and Andrea Lucchi! And, of course, just as many thanks to the all of the fans who took part in the project and sent us very funny contributions!
Merry Christmas to all!
And here is the video: https://youtu.be/HVGudETnvw8 |

 |
Every Spencer/Hill fan knows the famous scene with the firemen's choir from Watch out, we're mad!, in which Bud and Terence try to outwit a professional killer while singing. The soundtrack was written by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis. Now, for Christmas, the two brothers have released a brand new Christmas version of this chorus. The song has been available since Tuesday on all the usual music platforms, such as Spotify, Deezer and Amazon Music. There is also a music video for the new song on Youtube, for which the Onions have received support from many Italian stars. From the Spencer/Hill universe, for example, Kabir Bedi, Jerry Calà, Rita Pavone, Claudia Gerrini and Nino Frassica are involved.

| 2020-12-14 - 9:12 am - Bodo actor Baldwin Dakile presumed long dead |
 |
Baldwin Dakile, the actor who played the little boy Bodo in the films Flatfoot in Africa und Flatfoot in Egypt, has probably been dead for many years. At least this is what Neri Parenti, assistant director on "Flatfoot in Africa", reports in his book "Due palle... di Natale", which was recently published in Italy. In it, he tells an anecdote about how it happened that he celebrated Christmas 1977 together with Baldwin and his mother at his family's home in Florence. The very beautyful anecdote ends with Parenti receiving a letter from Baldwin's mother several years later, telling him that her son had been killed in a youth revolt against apartheid oppression. |
