 a darn good spaghetti western August 10, 2000

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 .
 Excellent Movie - Terrible Pan & Scan DVD February 3, 2001

This is certainly one of the best Bud Spencer-Terence Hill movies. It is actually much smarter than other Spencer-Hill pictures, because it contains a lot of intertextual references in its wonderfully portrayed western (parody/homage) moments. The music is magnificent too.I saw this film in Bosnia for the first time when I was kid and I immediately fell in love with it. In a few years I owned over 30 Bud Spencer (and Terence Hill) movies. The version I had in Bosnia (on a pirated VHS tape)had wonderful colours and was rich in detail. Anybody can guess why? Yes, you're right - because it was a WIDESCREEN copy (possibly imported from Italy). This DVD, however, is released in a horrendous PAN & SCAN edition. Many nice details are lost, there is a lot of artificial panning, and in certain action sequences you cannot even decipher what is going on. There are a few moments in which only background is seen, because the characters on both sides of the original widescreen picture (ar: 2,35:1) have been cut off. Furthermore, this DVD has terrible image resolution. Pixillation is present throughout the film (I have some Real Video files on my PC that have better picture quality than this DVD). This DVD, nonetheless, is very cheap. I bought it for 7.99 Canadian dollars (around 5 American dollars). And, of course, this is the best copy of this brilliant film that is available in North America and the reason why everybody should own it. 5 stars for the movie, 1 star for the DVD. All in all, 3 stars from me. I just wish I had my Bosnian widescreen copy.
 Which version is reviewed? February 4, 2006

There appear to be at least 3 different versions of this DVD for sale on Amazon, each with a different price. Some reviews say the video quality is good, some say it is terrible. It would be helpful if Amazon would indicate which version of this movie each review is associated with so that customers could decide which one to choose.
Witty and Unexpexcted Humor July 28, 2002
A.Trendl HungarianBookstore.com (Glen Ellyn, IL USA)
15 out of 18 found this review helpful
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.

 Great film, bad disk! August 4, 2002
12 out of 14 found this review helpful
This is a wonderfully funny movie with a great deadpan performance by Terence Hill and his straight man Bud Spencer. Beautifully shot in an over that over the top, true spaghetti western style by Enzo Barboni.
That said, the disk is completely worthless. The sound is so bad you can't hear the dialog and the color is so washed out in several scenes you can't make out backgrounds. The version I'm referring to is UPC 890328777067, the 2002, "region free" release.
If you can find a decent copy of this film, it's well worth the effort.
