This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Quite honestly, after seeing the first film in this series (THEY CALL ME TRINITY), I was a little underwhelmed, perhaps sold out by my own high hopes. That pic was the breakthrough buddy-comedy-western smash that made Hill and Spencer into superstars. I enjoyed it, liked its meandering pace and whimsical attitude, but was not blown away.Now, after having seen the follow-up, I get it. Everything that was kinda shaggy, kinda loosey-goosey about the first film has been finely groomed here and the difference is notable. The story plays out slowly but steadily, with proper amounts of both slapstick and action, not to mention some damn fine slapstick action.Spencer's Bambino is introduced first, duping a group of crooks out of their freshly cooked beans in hysterical fashion. Not long after the thugs have regrouped from the incident, along comes Hill's Trinity to do the same exact thing! These two gags set the tone for things: The two protagonists are never cocky or cruel in getting their way; rather they use their charm, and occasionally, Spencer's beefy fists if necessary.The boys head back home in time to hear their father's deathbed wish, that they work together to find their way in the world, rather than constantly bickering. Their resulting adventures lead them to aid (repeatedly) a lost farming family, pose as federal agents, and get involved in a monks-versus-gunrunners battle.The general spirit of the film is kind and genial, and for this reason it reminded me of the films of Jackie Chan's Hong Kong heyday. Much attention is paid to intricate gags (several involving food); there are numerous well-staged and complex fistfights; even a running bit with a flatulent baby that would have seemed right at home in a JC flick.Terence Hill's Trinity is a happy-go-lucky layabout that is too lazy to even ride his own horse (he prefers to be dragged slowly behind on a makeshift cot). Trinity is handsome, charming, funny a great character to be sure. Hill is capable of doing intense (e.g., VIVA DJANGO), so his embodiment of Trinity speaks as much to his acting chops as it does his personal charisma. As for big Bud Spencer, as Bambino he is the sour to Trinity's sweet. Perennially grumpy, the character owns an underlying air of geniality that seems at odds with his willingness to swing his fists around. You get the feeling Bambino begins each fight with a big resigned sigh, as if he'd really rather be elsewhere. The two actors had appeared together in films several times before this series, but it was the Trinity and Bambino personas that really clicked with audiences of the day.So if you are curious about the fuss over TRINITY, I'd just as soon recommend that you skip right to TRINITY IS STILL MY NAME to get the full gist of Spencer and Hill at their best. 8/10 stars.
I don't know, maybe it's that I didn't grow up with them, the way others have, the fact that I'm not American, or a variety of factors, but I've never been much for the classic Westerns. As with films regarding historic events, and films further back than a few decades, Westerns are something that I just don't make it a point to watch unless there's something special about it, someone talented at the helm or a major significance to that particular production. I watched this years ago, and I must admit that I didn't pay that much attention on this most recent viewing. It's just not really my genre. Some of the situations, action and dialog are admittedly good in some of these films, though. Technically speaking, this is good. Camera, editing and sound are fine. The fights look convincing enough, it does look as if the punches connect(though I wouldn't guess that they actually did). At one point in the film, an unusual and unexpected group dish out some physical violence. One fight plays a lot like a football game. The humor includes some repeated gags and jokes, and one running toilet humor joke. The dialog has its moments. I recommend this to fans of Westerns and comedies set in the Wild West. 7/10
geez, this movie rules! I love Hill & Spencer and this is one of their easiest to find films. (Why are their movies so hard to find here in the US? it sucks) This movie is great because not only is it really funny, but the dudes (H. & S.) are good for any crowd, even kids, because they're against guns and are good natured. This stuff had to influence so many later movies. Terence is hilarious, a goofy, smooth ladies man, kind of a pre-Chevy Chase/Mel Gibson type, and Bud Spencer is maybe even funnier, totally grumpy and rough, but with a good heart. This is probably one of my favorite comedies ever, it's great for any occasion, and always gives a lot of laughs. There are so many great scenes, I crack up whenever they pig-out on beans! Hill and Spencer totally rule! check out the barbarian brothers movie too for more good-natured, goofy buddy films.
Hard to find a movie better than the original.The setting and plot in this movie is better also. This movie is about Trinity and Bambino who swear to their "dying" father that they will become sucessful outlaws.....its actually a very funny movie and you could probably buy for VERY cheap.
