For one, Terence Hill is roughly 20 years beyond his prime. Technically both the short-lived series and the film (edited together from the show) are so flawed that they're virtually unwatchable as "Lucky Luke"-films and make it hard to choose what to start with. Indeed, what could go wrong casting Terence Hill in a real "Lucky Luke"-film? Well, theoretically the glove fit Hill like Pierce Brosnan would make the ultimate James Bond – in theory. In many ways, "Nobody" was a more anarchistic, lawless version of "Lucky Luke". Later Hill would sort of reprise the role under the name "Nobody" (or "Nessuno" in the original version), playing a similarly fast and witty, yet cleaner version of "Trinity". Especially the Spaghetti-Westerns with Bud Spencer, where Hill would play the unwashed, gluttonous yet always fair (and "drawing faster than his own shadow") "Trinity" were cult. I really wanted to like this movie: firstly, I'm a lifelong fan of the Lucky Luke"-comics (second only to ⁊sterix the Gaul") secondly, like most German kids of my generation, I grew up with the Terence Hill films of the 70's and early 80's.
