Saw this in Johannesburg on a windless rainy day. Six Flying Dutchman sailors all practicing their quick draw.
Great escapism. Boot Hill is magnificent.

“This used to be a quiet town before you came,” notes a deputy in They Call Me Trinity… “Disgusting town, but quiet.” That should let you know what to expect from this entertaining if a little overlong comedy paella western with Terence Hill (aka Mario Girotti) and Bud Spencer (aka Carlo Pedersoli) as mismatched brothers on the wrong side of the law finding themselves helping out a settlement of Mormons when evil Farley Granger wants to drive them off their land so his beloved horses can run free. The chemistry between the two leads is good and there are plenty of fun moments, all handsomely staged by Enzo Barboni (aka E.B. Clucher) with a good eye for Scope composition. The film proved so successful – the biggest Italian hit ever at the time – and encouraged so many rip-offs that even the pair’s earlier Westerns were reissued with new titles that found ingenious ways to incorporate ‘Trinity’ in the hope of fooling the punters, but only Trinity is Still My Name is a genuine sequel (excluding a ‘son of’ TV movie). Unfortunately it’s very weak stuff, with a vague plot, little wit, less gunplay and far too much eating that quickly outstays its welcome. Not the worst or dullest Italian comedy western by a long shot, but there’s only so much goodwill you can bring to the film before losing all hope that it’ll ever get any better. But it's still worth getting the disc for the original - just look on the sequel as a literal extra feature.
The 2.35:1 transfers are both very impressive (although both films are the English dubbed versions only). Extras are limited to a good interview with Hill and Spencer, background notes, a sparingly used trivia track and a few frame grabs masquerading as a stills gallery.
Comedy westerns that still raise a smile.

A long time ago, in the early seventies, I had seen both of the Trinity westerns at the cinema and enjoyed their knock-about humour. Would I still find them funny? Well after viewing them on DVD I found myself still laughing at the whole silliness of some of the set-ups as they spoof the spaghetti western genre. The films were made by the Italians as an antidote to the increasingly violent and stark spaghetti westerns but appears to be filmed or well dubbed into English. Terence Hill and Bud Spencer were well cast as lawless drifters who end up being on the right side of the law as Robin Hood type heroes. The ridiculous fight scenes with the clownish falling about still made me laugh out loud. The second film has a very funny scene in a posh restaurant with the two heroes coping with a sophisticated french waiter that should make any one laugh. They are not deep films, but taken on their own level they manage to entertain both me and my 14 year old daugher. The DVD also has interviews with the two Italian stars that explain a lot of the thinking behind the films. Considering the DVD has two full length features and several extras it is good value for money if you like this sort of thing.
Greatest Comedy Westerns Ever Made.

These two films are classics. Whether you are a fan of Westerns or Comedies these films are for you. The slapstick style fighting and one liners are hilarious. You will cry with laughter as Hill and Spencer outwit the bad guys no matter what the odds, whether its by using an empty gun , a frying pan, a loaf of bread or simply shooting them. The second film "Trinity is still my Name" is even funnier than the first. Two great movies and fun for all the family.
