Summary: PERFECTION
Review: Let me say I was cunningly amazed a the suttle humour of Bud Spenser and Terrance Hill. Both appear to gel very well and this is clearly shown in the one liners and crazy dialog. Bud Spenser (aka bambeano) and Terrance Hill (Trinity) are two likeable rouges in this first in a series of westerns who getup to all types of mischief throughout the film. Fast guns and plenty comical fight scenes make the film an all time classic for me. Its a pity that this type of film has since died away but perhaps the chalis will be passed over in coming years.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A damn funny movie.
Review: Like I've commented before, This movie is hillarious with the great dialouge and sight/physical humor, this is one of the funniest films ever made! But, there is one film few have heard of, and it was popular in theaters, it's called MAN OF THE EAST starring Terence Hill (Who Played Trinity) and Gregory Wallcott. It's about Hill, the son of a tough Gunfighter who recently died, immigrates to the states from England and he turns out to be a eccentric pansy. He rides bikes and not horses, perfers to be killed than be a killer, believes shoot outs are a foolish and make no sense. It succeeds at making fun of the American west and I recomend this to spaghetti western and Trinity fans. It was never released in North America, but I got my hands on a euro copy of it off ebay. Get it, it's hillarious!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Savo and the "Baby"
Review: Oh ! Great ! I love the baby (the big one) giving punch to everyone. "Lou, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship"

The other one is similar to the famous actor Savo Milosevic from Yugo, his "charme" is the same !

Summary: One of my favorite western comedies
Review: Terence Hill and Bud Spencer are outstanding both in this movie and its sequel.

I must admit that I hesitated ordering the DVD, because the two VHS transfers I've bought were absolutely horrendous. Fortunately, the quality is pretty good, much better than the VHS, though obviously no attempt was made at any restoration. Now I only hope they'll release "Trinity is Still My Name", which also is very bad in VHS.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: a darn good spaghetti western
Review: Terence Hill became an international superstar with this superb film, and so did Bud Spencer. They play gunslinging outlaw half brothers who end up trying to help protect a Mormon settlement from a band of Mexican desperado's. While the Mormon's turn the other cheek, the desperado's quickly learn the Trinity brothers will not. They follow the eye for an eye tooth for a tooth teaching. But it's not just the Mexican's who want the Mormon settlement, another band of cut throats want it too, and eventually team up with the desperado's to try and take it. With all these outlaws what's the two Trinity brothers to do? Well, I won't say, but I will tell you that this movie is packed with lots of hilarious comedy, great action, and a taste of suspense. One interesting twist to this movie is that Bambino (played by Bud Spencer) is sheriff of the nearby town. How he got the job is a laugh riot in itself. This is a movie the whole family can watch and enjoy, and the sequel (Trinity is still my Name) is equally entertaining .

Summary: THE ORIGINAL BLAZING SADDLES
Review: The Trinity films made Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer international overnight cinematic superstar celebrities. This initial entry into the series sees our heroes fight off drunken Banditos as well as greedy land merchants who are trying to run Mormons led by Moses (YES! MOSES!), off thier holy property for thier own selfish purposes. Ofcourse Trinity never misses a shot, even when he is looking the other way, passing gas, and chewing beans. A single bullet typically fells two or three of the scoundrels. That some of the dialouge is dubbed in English, with poor lip-synch, adds to the hysterics as this movie was actually filmed in English! Watch for the cows on the roofs, and the way the sky changes when Moses elucidates. Only the grainy texture and hollow audio warrant it 4 stars rather than 5 stars.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Witty and Unexpexcted Humor
Review: The wit and unexpected humor of "They Call Me Trinity" was sadly marred by poor color and audio, despite a strong plot and intriguing religious subtext.

Trinity is a fast, but relaxed gun fighter, and his brother is a lazy horse thief pretending to be a sheriff to hide his crimes. Both protect a community of Mormons (who act like Amish) who do not believe in violence.

Trinity is lot like Eastwood/Blondie in GBU, with a certain James Bond charm. He is not the usual brash gunman, but is twice and tough, and twice as sweet. A great character.

In the spaghetti western tradition, mimicking "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," this film has all Italian cast. The dubbing didn't cut it, as it seemed imposed on the movie more than it was integrated.

I'd like to see the series remade.

I recommend "They Call Me Trinity." The movie is funny, and worth renting, but buying it is only for the true fans of the genre.

Summary: Great Video, Bad Disk
Review: This is a wonderfully funny and enjoyable movie marred by a completely horrible release. The colors are completely off and the sound is almost unintelligible. Avoid like the plague any version which lists E.B. Clucher as the director. I'm not sure previous releases are any better... If you can get a good copy, you'll find this movie worth the effort!
