They Call Me Trinity

This is one of the best "fagioli-western", maybe because is the really first one that leaves the violence, that after Leone and the others masters of spaghetti-western, that (IMHO) are more realistic and better than more America's one, to marry the ironic side of the moon. There are no dead times and the whole movie, every time passes on italian TV, takes also 6-8 million (on an audience that usually goes up to 25 millions only when plays the "Nazionale" of soccer). The movie is leaded by a funny theme that recalls Morricone's anthemes (except for the not high sense tragedy), and mixes the differences between the two carachters. This is nothing new, is from Laurel & Hardy that this happens. But, you know, if it works, works, and it works so much!!! There is nothing in common with modern craps like actual comedies (in Italy such as in the US) do. No verbal violence, a bit of sadism (one man is evirate...) and a lot of fun. You'll love to hate Farley Granger (The Major), you really will think that "la mia esposa stava al fiume...un Gringo l'aggredì, que la voleva...", and, of course, you will try to steal horses or be a gambler for living. See it and tell me....have fun!

A friend once tried to get me to laugh at the card scene in this but I couldn't stand it. I realize that it was because he showed it to me out of context. Watching this film from the beginning puts you into a laid-back spaghetti western world that is a joy to hang out in for a while. All the characters are fun to watch and there's a real special sort of humor here. The only drawback to the film would be the extended final fight scene that goes on without enough imaginative choreography. The racist treatment of Mexicans is a bit perturbing and strange considering how other Italian westerns of the time cast them as revolutionary heroes. The writing translates well into English and the US version is among the best spaghetti western dubs around.

Lo chiamavano Trinità...

This movie and its sequel bring together two of the best underrated comedy duos of its time. I have great memories of watching this movie with my uncle and father. For its time the writing and directing is impeccable. The comedic timing is off the chart. As you can see I am and have always been a huge fan. I have watched many Bud Spencer and Terence Hill movies since but the rest have fell short of the magic they mad playing Trinity and Bambino in both movies. Please, if you have never watched these films take the time to do so. Remember as your watching that ther are over 40 years old and take them for what they are. Fun fun fun! Thanks for taking time to read.

Great fighting movie. One of my favourites. Not much of a story but that's not what I'm here for

Bud Spencer & Terence Hill's absolute best movie! Hilarious, spectacular, in perfect Bud&Terence style, with the addition of the spaghetti western settings that make it even more characteristic. This is my favourite and I think it's a great way to spend a couple of hours!

Action! Laughs! Beans! Filth! Flies! Sweat! B.O.!...It's all here in this terrific film about two half brothers (Hill and Spencer) who team up to save a helpless group of mormon farmers from marauding mexican banditos and a ruthless gang of ranchers. the entire cast is outstanding and never disappoints in keeping the viewers interested and entertained. the sound effects crew deserved an academy award, as one can practically feel the pain with every punch and slap! The climactic fight scene is the one which all fight scenes should be measured by (poor Mezcal!). It is absolutely hilarious! Tobias would be honored if you'd share their meager meal with them. Buy this title, "Trinity is still my name" and "My name is Nobody." All are classics for the archives.

I first saw this Trinity movie in the mid-seventies and laughed and snickered through it. Recently, I watched it again, and found that it held up well over the past decades, and recommend it highly. The humor in this movie is both subtle and broad. The lead actors, Terence Hill and Bud Spencer, slyly parody spaghetti western stereotypes without hamming it up. They do a masterful job at underplaying their characters' brotherly dislike of each other. There is plenty of broad humor too. Trinity is so scruffy and dirty that when he sits down to eat, puffs of dust fly up. The production values are generally pretty high; this doesn't look like a cheap movie. But the dubbing, as in any dubbed movie, is very obvious. Still, this is a highly enjoyable movie.

I LOVE this movie! Probably the most epic with Bud & Terence. Super-funny spaghetti western. All the typical elements of their films are present: lots of bar fights, people flying everywhere, the usual, wonderful cheap jokes... legendary the final mega-fight between the mormons and the bad guys! A Must-see for every age! :D
