They Call Me Trinity (1970)

Here's The Trailer: They Call Me Trinity
(This Trailer Contains A lot of Footage So If You Don't Want To Spoil it for yourself you might not want to watch it)

They Call Me Trinity is a spaghetti western directed by Enzo Barboni. If you click the link on his name it will take you to an IMDB page that has a list of the movies he's directed. He is one of the legendary spaghetti western directors. That page has quite a few movies I've never watched before I just so happened to see this one when I was younger because my dad bought it from Wal-Mart one night. Oh and if you don't know why they're called spaghetti westerns its basically because they were made over in Italy. Another example of a spaghetti western is "The Good The Bad And The Ugly", that's the most well know one.

Spaghetti westerns usually tend to have a lot of humor, goofy sounds for things (you'll see if you watch one of them), mono type audio, and a gritty movie look to them. And this one follows all of those traditions. You wont be able to stop laughing while you watch this movie, its more comedic than it is serious. Some of the things that Trinity is able to do with his gun are just absolutely ridiculous. Another funny thing you will notice about this one is the fact that it was made in the 70's, the theme song in the trailer above should give that away with it's hippie sound. Also something you are going to want to know is that the Trinity movies are a Trilogy. "They Call Me Trinity", is the first one, the second is "Trinity is Still My Name", and the third is "You Call Me Trinity, They Call Me Renegade". Those are the English titles for them at least they go by many different names depending on your nationality and location.

Basically the movie starts off with Trinity (played by Terence Hill) sleeping on a tattered wooden mat like thing that is being drug behind a horse. The horse comes to a stop and Trinity wakes up and puts his boots on. He goes into the little restaurant or bar whichever you prefer and sits down. He notices a couple men sitting at a table who are more or less the only other people there eating. They have a hostage who is wounded, they are bounty hunters taking him to jail. Trinity eats his meal and then walks over to the table and tells the wounded prisoner to get up and come on. Well the two gentleman don't take too kindly to that and so they say who do you think you are!? So he tells them and they take on the look of perplexity and shock. "Bounty Hunter: Hey, Trinity. They say you got the fastest gun around. Trinity: Is that what they say? Bounty Hunter: Yeah. Trinity: [chuckles] Geez...". And as he's walking outside towards his horse they try to shoot him in the back and well you know what happens next don't you? So he leaves and goes to this other town, that is a more typical western type town. He comes to find his brother there, his name is Bambino (played by Bud Spencer). Bambino is currently the town sheriff, but only because he needed a good disguise to take on after killing the man who was supposed to be the next towns sheriff by mistakenly thinking he was being followed. In actuality he is a horse thief and he is waiting on the rest of his crew to show up. But there is a problem the Major (played by Farely Granger) want's to get rid of the sherriff and the Bambino want's the horses that the Major owns for his own. The story ensues with lots more humor and action which we all love.

I give this western a 5 out of 5. Because anyone can enjoy it even stupid teenage girls who have no respect for the western genre.
