Ace High
Ace High
After Cacopoulos (Eli Wallach) saves himself from being hanged on a false charge, he robs Cat Stevens (Terrence Hill) and Hutch Bessy (Bud Spencer) and steals their horses. This results in Stevens and Bessy becoming unwilling allies in Cacopoulus' revenge against the people who framed him.

Middle of the trilogy but to be honest you don’t need to watch them in order as they’re different enough in quality and tone. Wallach plays the fun charming conman constantly changing loyalty. The real star is Bud Spencer doing his Pluto role - beating up entire towns and so on with outrageous outfits and his partner who is so good looking (underused Terrance Hill) it’s not far fetched to think of them as a couple. Spencer gets the most screen time.
This one is one of the big budget spaghettis but not nearly as epic as Leone. Still fun to be had without being totally slapstick. The less said about Brock Peters (!) and the circus nonsense the better.
