Two Missionaries (Italian: Porgi l'altra guancia; Turn the Other Cheek) is a 1974 French/Italian international co-production adventure comedy film starring the film duo of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer.[1]

The film is set in Venezuela. The film depicts two Roman Catholic missionaries who decide to raise parrots in their mission, and to defend the poor. The Bishop of Maracaibo considers the two misfits to be black sheep.

## Synopsis

Two missionaries (Bud Spencer and Terence Hill) come into conflict with the authorities when they turn their mission into a parrot farm.

Like usual, our heroes help the poor to defend themselves and provoke some funny fist fights in the process.
