| 2021-12-02 - 3:24 pm - Italy now also has a Bud Spencer stamp |
 |
On the occasion of his 92nd birthday on 31 October 2021, Bud Spencer was also honoured with his own stamp in his home country Italy. The stamp is part of the series "Le eccellenze italiane dello spettacolo" (Italian Show Business Excellence) and was issued in an edition of 300,000. It is normally available in the postal branches of Poste Italiane and can also be ordered online there - but not from abroad. For the issue date there are also limited special products around the stamp, e.g. a collector's folder (2000 copies), a plastic credit-card-sized card with the stamp on it (1500 copies), a philanthropic info sheet with a text by Bud's children (1000 copies) and postcards and envelopes with the stamp of the first day of issue.
We have taken this stamp as an opportunity to add an info page to the database about all the stamps with Bud Spencer and Terence Hill that have been published so far. There you will also find more pictures of the new Italian stamp.

| 2021-11-08 - 8:53 am - The soundtrack to "Watch out, we're mad" comes on CD & LP! |
 |
No other soundtrack has Bud Spencer and Terence Hill fans been waiting for as long as the one for the film Watch out, we're mad. When the film was released in 1974, there was only one single with the title song Dune Buggy and the track "Across the fields" on the B-side. After that, there was nothing until today. But this is changing now!
Beat Records, in collaboration with Cabum and Digitmovies, has announced the release of the complete soundtrack by brothers Guido and Maurizio De Angelis on CD and LP! Both versions will be released on 13 December 2021. There is no exact track list yet, but we are promised "Dune Buggy", both vocal and instrumental, "Across the fields", the firemen's choir, violin music, ballroom music, various background sounds and much more.
From 17 November it will be possible to pre-order the soundtrack. The first places to go should be the websites of Beat Records and Digitmovies. One day before the release, on 12 December, the soundtrack will be presented to the public in the presence of the De Angelis brothers at the Music Day in Rome.

| 2021-10-28 - 11:37 am - The new album from Oliver Onions is out now! |
 |
Tomorrow is the day. "Future Memorabilia", the new album by Oliver Onions, will finally be released. The brothers Guido and Maurizio De Angelis, who form the duo "Oliver Onions", have been in the music business since the 1960s, but only became internationally known when they started composing music for films in 1971. Now, 50 years and over 200 soundtracks for cinema and TV productions later, the brothers present ten of their most popular songs in a new, modern style on their new album.
For the album, Oliver Onions re-sung the Spencer/Hill title songs "Dune Buggy", "Bulldozer" and "Flying through the Air" on their own. For the seven other songs, Guido and Maurizio brought in guest musicians. The version of "Banana Joe" sung with Bud Spencer will be on the album, and also a German-Italian version of the super hit "Santa Maria" sung with Roland Kaiser. For the new version of "Sheriff", the title song from "The Sheriff and the Satellite Kid", the brothers were able to win cult actor and singer David Hasselhoff. In addition, there are several collaborations with artists who are very successful in Italy, such as Tommaso Paradiso (Orzowei), Elio e Le Storie Tese (Coro dei pompieri - the famous fire brigade choir from "Watch out we're mad") and Claudio Baglioni (Sandokan). Baglioni already published his own version of "Sandokan" on his album "Anime in gioco" in 1997 and now sings the song together with Oliver Onions for the first time. This version is accompanied by cellist Tina Guo, who also enriched songs composed by Hans Zimmer with her cello. The album closes with the ballad "We believe in Love", which is sung together with musical singer Elhaida Dani to the melody of "Verde".
The album will be available digitally tomorrow on all known streaming services. For fans and collectors, however, there is also a CD and a limited LP. The CD contains a booklet and five stickers as a bonus. The LP is a yellow record in a sleeve which, when opened, presents a three-dimensional model of the record cover.

| 2021-09-21 - 3:57 pm - Terence Hill finishes filming Don Matteo |
 |
Last saturday an era came to an end after 22 years. We had the opportunity to be there in Spoleto, Umbria, when Terence Hill's last take for his hit series Don Matteo was shot in the afternoon in the church of Santa Eufemia. After the emotional last take, the whole crew celebrated their long-time leading actor first spontaneously in the church and later on the forecourt at a champagne reception. Producer Luca Bernabei thanked Terence Hill in a speech and of course Terence Hill thanked the crew afterwards for the great cooperation in the last years. Terence Hill's last day of shooting ended with a group photo of the crew on the cathedral steps of Spoleto. For Hill, this day marked the end of a significant period in his film career after 13 seasons with a total of 259 episodes. However, he is not thinking of retirement now, but will devote himself to new projects with a little distance. Meanwhile, the series "Don Matteo" continues with a successor. We have summarised our impressions of the set and the emotional last take in a small report for the database. Enjoy reading!

 |
Oliver Onions released their new version of "Dune Buggy" as a single this morning at midnight sharp. Guido and Maurizio put the pedal to the metall and deliver a very rocking version of the old classic. It serves as a foretaste of their upcoming album "Future Memorabilia", which will be released in October. By the way, the two likeable singers will also be guests at the Spencerhill fan meeting starting next weekend. We are looking forward to seeing them!
And now turn up the speakers and let the buggy roll:

| 2021-08-09 - 10:09 am - Terence Hill is honorary citizen of Pomponesco |
Last Saturday, Terence Hill received a special honour. The small town of Pomponesco named the actor the first honorary citizen of its town history. Terence Hill gave the town national fame in 1983 when he decided to shoot his film Don Camillo here during his directorial debut. A screening of the film was held that evening in the town's central square, Piazza XXIII Aprile (23 April Square). Beforehand, Terence Hill was received by the mayor in the town hall, where he was presented with the certificate of honorary citizenship. Fans of the film are advised to visit the town. Although it is very small, it has hardly changed in the last 40 years, so that even today you have the feeling that Don Camillo could turn up on his motorbike at any moment. |

| 2021-06-29 - 1:15 pm - The life of Bud Spencer as Graphic Novel |
 |
In November 2021, a graphic novel about the life of Bud Spencer will be published in Italy. The graphic novel will be drawn by Roberto Lauciello, the texts will be written by Marco Sonseri and the 112-page work will be published by ReNoir Comics. There will also be a foreword by Cristiana, Diamante und Giuseppe Pedersoli.
The publisher writes about the content:
How many actors can say they have had a life as adventurous as that of the characters they have played on screen? Few, very few. Among them, Carlo Pedersoli stands out, an Olympic-level swimmer, truck driver in South America and above all, hero in dozens of films based on humour and fistfights. A happy marriage, a film career that started almost by accident, a few diet attempts and a lot of binge eating. Little Luca meets him on a magical day at an airport and is entranced by his life story. A unique story, funny and fascinating, like those that made Bud Spencer a myth for generations of viewers.
