Benigni was censored again in the 1980s for calling Pope John Paul II something impolite during an important live TV show (“Wojtylaccio”, meaning “Bad Wojtyla” in Italian, but with a friendly meaning in Tuscan dialect).

In Down By Law (1986) (which in Italy had its title spelled “Daunbailò”, in Italian phonetics) he played Bob, an innocent foreigner living in the United States, convicted of manslaughter, whose irrepressible good humour and optimism help him to escape and find love. (The film also starred Braschi as his beloved.) In Night on Earth, (1991) he played a cabbie in Rome, who causes his passenger, a priest, great discomfort and a heart attack by confessing his bizarre sexual experiences.
