Trying to remember comedy duo films

Hi,

I'm trying to remember a series of films by a comedy duo. I can't remember much but I remember my mam used to buy these cheap films for my uncle.

This was in the 80s and early 90s but the films could have been older.


There was a short, fat guy with a beard and he seemed to be the grumpy one and the other was kind of the tall, thin, straight man.


One film I can kind of remember is them being stuck on a desert island. Shennanigans happen. A local tribe may have been involved.


I thought one of their films was called Renegades but can't remember finding much last time I searched. Also i'm not sure what nationality they were. They could have been from anywhere and badly dubbed and put straight to VHS.


Cheers for any ideas :)

    I think it might have been Italian duo Terence Hill and Bud Spencer, who made a series of Western/Action comedies in the 1960s - 1970s. A few badly dubbed versions have cropped up on ITV in the early hours over the years.

    I remember seeing this many times at the cinema during the golden age of double billings and not having to leave the cinema after the show.

    I seem to remember it being on with one of the Sinbad movied (The golden voyage of Sinbad, I think).

    The DVD appears to be available.

    Was there a film about assassins or something?

    And what about one called Renegades? Ah, just searched and it seems to be a Terrence Hill solo effort :D

    It's all bringing back memories :D
