To me, this movie is perfection.
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
View MoreGreat movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
View MoreMaking full use of their on-screen chemistry, actor-duo Terence Hill & Bud Spencer, coming full circle in this Italian produced comic-western gem directed by Enzo Barboni (E.B. Clucher) in 1971 and released to be a massive smash hit with over twelve million moviegoers attending in Summer 1972 in West Germany alone.The story-lines' sequences are fairly simple arrange and connect to a common mainstream audience with two unlikely brothers, Trinitá and Bambino, seeking in each scene the advantage over their opponents to ultimately win a fortune at a poker game, spend it and start the whole process again by riding off into the desert by the end.Filmed entirely in Italy on sound stage in Rome and exteriors shot on location in the Italian region of Abruzzo in order to stand in for the U.S. Middle west, "Trinity II" has pace and rhythm to the picture. The protagonists are the charming outlaws, who everyone can identify with. There are no major shoot-outs or violent torture scenes in a sheriff's prison for example.Nevertheless the spectator has the chance to enter into a ride full of enjoyable moments, which never miss its mark by being just entertainment benefited by a legendary acting duo. The Hill/Spencer connection, which started out with another western in 1967 called "God forgives... I don't" directed by Guiseppe Colizzi in a rather hard-boiled fashion as "Django" (1966) by Sergio Corbucci or Sergio Leone's "For A Few Dollars more" (1965); a picture could not stand up against its predecessor classics.The first collaboration of Terrence Hill and Bud Spenceer of 1967 had not have the commercial outcome as the director and producers wished for. A fact that had to mature another three years to receive its fulfillment in the prequel "They Call Me Trinity" (1970) collaboration, in which finally the comic elements started to break through and shape the acting duo's career, which will last for another 15 years to their final collaboration in season 1984/1985 for "Miami Supercops".© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
View MoreThe trinity trilogy would play at least once every summer at the $1 (!) movies. parents in my hometown would use it as a child-watching service in the '80s.the trilogy was great! the opening scene with the gun and boots dragging in the dust is my personal meme for all the spaghetti (w/cheese) westerns. and the gun/slap scene is the hallmark of the trilogy.i enjoyed the hokey group battle action scenes as a kid, but not sure i could watch this as an adult w/out the nostalgia kick. if you have not seen these in 20+ years, put in a little effort to dig them out.
View MoreAs my title suggests, I couldn't disagree more with the previous poster. It's entirely possible that the reviewer confused this picture with the previous Trinity outing, "They Call Me Trinity", which does not compare to the sequel whatsoever. With "Trinity is Still My Name" they were firing on all four cylinders. This film is the quintessential parody of the spaghetti western, with some of the dirtiest, filthiest ant-heroes ever depicted. When this film was in its original theatrical run in the early 70's, it created a *huge* stir...young and old came unglued equally over the many "over-the-top" versions of the classic western scene. The slapstick gags were spot on, and Terrence Hill moves from scene to scene with a rogue-ish charm that breathes life into the character of Trinity. Bud Spence's understated performance rounds out the cast, and his lethargic, deadpan delivery mixes well with Hill's enthusiasm. The two actors teamed in several films, but this would be their best work.The film is highly visual, and Trinity himself is an extremely humorous character with his use of many outlandish contraptions such as the lounge-chair saddle.The supporting cast also provide a good bit of the humor throughout. Characters such as the family with the "windy" baby, and the one bad guy who loses his mind after receiving one of Bambino's massive head blows come to mind. Scene after scene parodies many of the classic western clichés, from card games to gunfights, all including the trademark Trinity "twist".This film is definitely not academy award material whatsoever, but if you're looking for good slapstick fun with plenty of tongue-in-cheek humor you won't be disappointed.
View MoreSo, here we are. This movie, in its theatrical acception is one the best "Fagioli Western" I ever seen. I know it, pratically line by line (like the Alexander's Army...:)), and is funny exact like the original. If someone thinks that is poor in script is, imho, wrong, because everything is perfect. The gags are still funny, except for one or two that better in the original but, after 33 years (i wrote this in 2005!!) they still works, also better than in some Hollywood craps...the real problem is in the Italian DVD (manifactured by Medusa, owned by the Italian prime minister...:((). The first thing is there are a lot of missing scenes, including one "Leone-Morricone" trumphet one, that was in the original theatrical, that was quite more than 1 minute long!!!! It was placed after the restaurant and before the one when they meet the bad guys boss that offers them money "to keep eyes closed". Maybe was a scene too much political (infact, if my memory is not wrong, was about the people's conditions in the village). The other missing scenes are placed, with perfect video restoration and a "mysterious" bad audio, in the "Cut scenes" section of the DVD. I cannot believe! This is a very bad thing. When the movie passes on TV the scenes are all at their places (is more than 3 minutes of unnecessary cuts!). Why on DVD this bloodbath? So my rate is 9,5/10 for the movie and 5/10 for the DVD. We want the original ones. Thanks
