A very sound approach

This is a very random question but something Iā€™ve always been curious about.

Iā€™ve noticed that in many Spags the evil rich man stereotypes always seem to drink some kind of vibrant-looking alcoholic concoction.

The only one I can remember off the top of my head is in Texas Adios where this guy is drinking something that looks very green, but I remember seeing other brightly coloured drinks in different Spags too.

Iā€™m not very knowledgable on booze, anyone know what this might be?

The green one could be Creme de Menthe?

Green Chartreuse is a spirit that I tried years ago - it is made by monks in France and is great when you strike a match in the glass.

Interesting, I never knew there were so many oddly coloured liqueurs. Guess Iā€™ll have to do some ā€œresearchā€ next time Iā€™m at a bar :joy:

I always thought they were drinking Absinthe aka The Green Fairy as it was very popular in the late 19th and early 20th century. Just my theory.

Just wanna throw in some random knowledge on how to rise in forum trust levels:

  • read (topics, posts)
  • dole out likes to useful posts others contribute
  • earn likes for useful things you post
  • return (daily, over a long period of time)
  • engage in discussions
  • behave

You might need to sit down for this one,
because this might come as a shock.
But after much research,
hours of investigation and comparisons.
After traveling down multiple roads of possibilities.
I keep coming back to one single conclusion.
A single truth.
Terence Hill and Franco Nero:
Same person

Same

(ā€¦Iā€™m watching Ace High right now, I seriously canā€™t tell them apart :person_shrugging:)

Probably why they cast Hill as Neroā€™s replacement in Preparati la Bara!

Looks as close as youā€™d get at the time

There seems to be a lot of Nero lookalikes in Italy :joy: Iā€™ve always thought the mustache-less Maurizio Merli from Highway Racer (1977) looks just like him too!

I also seem to remember that Merli was specifically cast as a Nero lookalike after the success of High Crime (1973).

Seems like @NeedleFork is a vampire or somethingā€¦ anyways she talked me into setting up a dark room mode at the SWDb. Find an icon in the menu up right to toggle it on and off. :ghost:
