THEY CALLED HIM SPENCER is the first feature length documentary film that dives into Bud Spencer’s multifaceted biography as well as the global phenomenon of the Spencer-Hill cult movies.

Carlo Pedersoli, better known as Bud Spencer, gets to the heart of his attitude towards life in his song “futtetenne” (fuck it). The mentality of this all-round talent is characterized by the courage to realize his dreams while enjoying life to the fullest.

Spurred by the message of his movies Spencer fans, Jorgo and Marcus set out on an adventurous road trip to get closer to their idol. Their journey evolves into paper chase across Europe. En route they meet a number of Bud Spencer’s actor colleagues and companions.
