I saw Ace High at the theater just out of high school and it remains a favorite, but some years later when I viewed God Forgives, it blew me away. This is the best of the Spencer / Hills for me. With apologies to the Spencer/Hill Database the fourth poker player looks like Joaquín Blanco to me, rather than Roberto Alessandri. Opinions are welcome
I love this film, especially the second half. I haven’t watched Ace High in a long time but I think this one has to be the best of the trilogy. The music felt a bit out of place, however.
So my appreciation towards this film has grown a lot since I finally saw the uncut(?) widescreen version (Dutch DVD). The dub script was less cringey than the other one also.
I learned that Lloyd Battista dubbed Terence Hill throughout the entire Colizzi series. In fact he made quite a living from just dubbing characters in films that he was able to buy a villa in Jersey Shores.
There are two English dubs; the dialogue is slightly different and Terence Hill has a more youthful sounding voice in the Dutch DVD, compared to the version found on shoddy DVD’s such as the Televista one.
The Dutch DVD is the uncut widescreen version right? I’m asking because the version that features Lloyd Battista is a cut pan and scan version and I’ve never figured out the name of the release.
I dunno, I actually kind of lime the pan and scan version (it was how I first found the movie). It unfortunately cuts out some parts that made the movie much darker and grittier, but the quality of the dubbing is substantially better. Lloyd and the actor who voices Bud Spencer are fantastic and perfectly match the characters.
Yep they’re great, I cannot stand Hill’s voice in the Dutch DVD. Just like Quien Sabe I prefer the cut version of this film due to the superior delivery and voice characterisation.
