johnhumphris The Trinity movies are such good fun westerns. Fights, gunplay humour and rollicking good fun. If you want a serious western then look elsewhere. Lots of short clips on YouTube for samples. Enjoy.

bebop63-1 There will always be detractors for the spaghetti Western genre, and those who deem this film as worthless and wishy-washy bargain bin value viewing, but the fact that it has spawned innumerable spoofs, sequels and imitations, and even a brief acknowledgement by Quentin Tarantino in his 2012 smash movie Django Unchained, goes to show that My Name Is Trinity is a classic in itself, and therefore has something going for it. Starring no less than the incomparable duo of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer, who are the Western version of Abbott and Costello, albeit more adept and efficient. The plot is simplistic - typical good guys versus bad guys with the usual gunplay and barroom fistfights that are expected elements in a Western, yet atypical in that the protagonists are not the clean-cut nor grim sitting high-in-the-saddle sort of riders or gunfighters. Terence Hill is the titular character, a dusty raggedy saddle tramp, who lazes on a travois dragged by his faithful steed, drifting about with no set goal or purpose, belying the fact that he's the fastest gun in the West. Bud Spencer is his brooding bulk of a brother, the incongrously appellated Bambino (little boy), a trying-hard horse rustler, masquerading as the sheriff of a small town. Though they can't stand the sight of each other, force of circumstances compel them to unite to defend a community of settlers from a local baron who covets the valley the settlers have moved to for its rich grasslands, as well as from bullying Mexican bandidos, climaxing into an epic elaborately staged brawl beloved of Hill-Spencer diehards. The chemistry between Hill and Spencer is just contagious, even if they play characters with opposing personalities and conflicting interests, their movements fluid and coordinated even if their fighting methods differ. Small wonder that they went on to generate more movies, not just Westerns, and garnering a huge following especially in Europe, as well as spawning a sequel Trinity Is Still My Name, another one not to miss.

Lee Eisenberg This lesser known spaghetti western is slow at times, but there are plenty of scenes that make the movie worth watching. Terence Hill plays a drifter who decides to help a group of settlers defend themselves from a man trying to take their land. Trinity is an unkempt guy, but he's a cool dude when called upon to defend people's rights."Lo chiamavano Trinità" (alternately called "They Call Me Trinity" and "My Name is Trinity" in English) isn't any kind of great movie. More than anything, it's fun. What was especially interesting was to see Farley Granger - best known for his leading roles in Alfred Hitchcock's "Rope" and "Strangers on a Train" - playing a heavy. In the end, I do recommend this movie, just as I would "A Fistful of Dollars", "Django"* and "The Five-Man Army". It's always been a neat genre.*I'm eager to see what Quentin Tarantino does with his upcoming Django movie.

ma-cortes The movie concerns Trinity (Terence Hill or Mario Girotti) , a roguish and sympathetic gunman with fast weapon who works as a bounty hunter . His brother Bambino (Bud Spencer) is a sheriff in a village but also an undercover thief who attempts to execute a heist . They'll face off a rich owner (Farley Granger) and some Mexican marauders who try to evict a group of Mormons . They help the pacific homesteaders and the confrontation will be inevitable but is developed by means of successive fights without blood , neither gore , nor cruel murders .This entertaining picture packs comedy , action , shootouts and lots of brawls and fights . The violence isn't crude but light and predominates the comedy and parody . The storyline is embarrassing and ridiculous but has its agreeable moments here and there . It's a spaghetti western with comedy and develops the usual issues : invincible antiheroes , spectacular showdown , amusing taking on but united to slapstick and simple humor . It's an entertaining Italian western with adequate runtime where there is irony , tongue-in-cheek , shootouts , numerous struggles and is quite funny and amusing .Though this was their first really big hit movie, the film was actually the fifth picture that Terence Hill and Bud Spencer had both worked on and the fourth which they both had starring roles. The nickname that Trinity was called because he was such a fast quick-draw with his gun was "The Right Hand of the Devil" , the nickname that Bambino was called was "The Left Hand of the Devil¨ . Terence Hill is a good guy , hilarious and likable ; Bud Spencer is a rough , two-fisted , bouncing , grumpy man but with good heart , their characters are partially similar to Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy . The film is a spoof of famous films such as ¨The magnificent seven¨ and ¨Blazed saddles¨ but covered with spaghetti . The picture obtained a sequel with the same protagonists and director , ¨Trinity is still my name¨ , which also achieved much success and many years later a third part , ¨Troublemakers¨ , directed by Terence Hill . Besides , originated a series of awful imitations and copies . Rating : nice and bemusing .
