2024-12-02 - 8:16 am - New tv series about Flatfoot starts in Italy |
|
The new TV series 2Piedone - Uno sbirro a Napoli2 (Flatfoot - A Cop in Naples) starts on Sky in Italy tonight. The series attempts to capture the atmosphere of the old Flatfoot films, but without imitating Bud Spencer's character, even though the new Plattfuß has some similarities, not only in appearance but also in character.
The new flatfoot is called Vincenzo Palmieri, is a police officer with a gruff manner, often grumpy, not always playing by the rules, but with a big heart and an unshakeable belief in justice. The link to the original is that Palmieri was a student of Inspector Rizzo, who is still a legend in Naples. Palmieri is played by Salvatore Esposito, who may be known as the villain Genny Savastano from the series ‘Gomorrha’. In the first episode, Palmieri returns to his hometown of Naples after a long absence, where he now investigates various cases at the police station in the port of Naples.
The series consists of four feature-length episodes, which will premiere today on Sky Cinema Uno. Bud Spencer's son Giuseppe Pedersoli was also involved in the development of the series and the idea. It is not yet known whether the series will be shown in Germany or other countries, but there is hope, as Sky is also active in many countries and some scenes of the series were also shot in Germany.

2024-07-08 - 10:19 am - Terence Hill and Bud Spencer's children inaugurate swimming baths |
|
Yesterday, the new municipal swimming pool in Amelia was inaugurated and named after Bud Spencer. At the inauguration ceremony, Mayor Laura Pernazza was delighted to receive support from Bud Spencer's children Cristiana and Giuseppe Pedersoli, as well as from Terence Hill. Giuseppe expressed his gratitude for this great opportunity to remember his father and the eternal bond of friendship with Terence Hill. Terence Hill added that he had already admired Bud Spencer as a swimming champion as a child and that the step from this admiration to a lifelong friendship was then only a very small one. The final words came from Bishop Francesco Antonio Soddu, who began his blessing with the words "We grew up with bread and Terence Hill and Bud Spencer.". Of course, many fans were also present at the opening and took the opportunity to get autographs and take photos with the stars. |

2024-02-09 - 1:44 pm - Happy 100th birthday, Woody Woodbury! |
|
Today we celebrate a very special birthday. The American actor, comedian and musician Woody Woodbury is 100 years today! Spencer/Hill fans know Woody as Admiral O'Connors in "Pair and impair", as Major in "Super Snooper" and finally as the agent in "Go for it" who hands Doug and Rosco the suitcase full of money on the plane.
Woody only acted on the side. In the USA, he is mainly known as a comedian and above all as a TV presenter. First he takes over Johnny Carson's "The Tonight Show" in 1962 and then hosts his own "The Woody Woodbury Show" from 1967. Woody still lives in Fort Lauderdale, where he was inducted onto the Walk of Fame in 2012. He is the father of two children and sometimes even performs as a comedian at private parties.
