The Four Faces of Luciano Catenacci
Luciano Catenacci (a.k.a. Luciano Lorcas or Max Lawrence) is one of my favorite character actors in Italian genre movies of the 60's and 70's. He appeared mostly in poliziotteschi, rarely in gialli, spaghetti westerns or horror movies, I guess his most memorable performances are from the Spencer-Hill comedies, where he often played the main villain. I began to recognize him by seeing him in Odds and Evens, later I found out that in Crime Busters is the gang of the villains completely the same as in the latter Odds and Evens. Bud Spencer beats always the same guys! And it's true. Riccardo Pizzuti is in most of their movies, the same goes for Claudio Ruffini, Sal Borgese or Giancarlo Bastianoni.

I'm an ugly bastard, waiting for the Bud Spencer punch.
Now I'm really a bastard and I don't take any excuses!
You didn't hear me? I'm gonna kill you, you son of a bitch!
Shit, this is REALLY scary!
