What happens

Convoy Buddies (Italian: Simone e Matteo - Un gioco da ragazzi, Spanish: Simón y Mateo, also known as Kid Stuff) is a 1975 Italian-Spanish adventure-comedy film directed by Giuliano Carnimeo and starring Paul Smith and Michael Coby, a couple formed with the purpose of copying the successful films of the duo Terence Hill and Bud Spencer. It was followed by The Diamond Peddlers. The film was selected for American release by Film Ventures International, and producer Edward L. Montoro changed Smith's name to Bob Spencer and Cantafora's name to Terrence Hall. Smith sued, successfully arguing that an actor's name recognition is vital to his career. The judicial system agreed and ruled against FVI, which paid Smith damages and court costs. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
