Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

As Good As It Gets

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Making 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)

(aka: TRINITY IS STILL MY NAME) This sequel looks like it was done to capitalize on the outstanding European box-office success of THEY CALL ME TRINITY, only this time Joseph E. Levine and Avco-Embassy pictures wanted to capitalize on it in America as well. Too bad they didn't get very far since the Hill/Spencer pictures have had only had marginal success here in the U.S., and this largely boring, drawn-out film doesn't help it out any.Trinity and Bambino swear to their dying father (Harry Carey Jr.) that they will become successful outlaws and take care of each other. They later get involved with arms-traffickers who smuggle guns out of a monastery, and who mistakenly think they're a pair of federal agents. It all winds up falling flat in spite of a couple of funny scenes, especially the one where Trinity and Bambino are in a fancy French restaurant and don't know how to carry themselves. And the scenes with the card sharks was mildly humorous as well.The opening title music sung by Gene Roman sounds like a fair Bobby Goldsboro-like early 70s pop song while the music cues sprinkled throughout the movie are pretty good. Not sure if I'd want to buy the CD soundtrack of it but some others might.The film could have had a half hour whacked off of it and it wouldn't have dragged on for so long. It looks like a lot of scenery is being chewed up here. In fact, I lost interest in it about 2/3rds of the way through. The DVD is also terrible, with a constant hum in the soundtrack and a poor print that looks like it should have been sent to that great scrap heap in the sky.A big step down from the previous film.4 out of 10

This sequel to "They Call Me Trinity" is a slight improvement on the original; it has a couple of chuckles here and there (like Maltin says, the "restaurant scene" is the funniest) and a LARGE-scale final showdown between the "good guys" (including some monks) and the "bad guys", but still nothing to write home about. Hill and Spencer had obviously perfected their screen personas by that point, but it's a pity nobody sat down to write them a real script; the story in "Trinity Is Still My Name!" meanders and tires before long. I would like to say, however, that it may be the best-dubbed movie ever; no awkward synchronization problems are present, and those who did the voices were obviously enjoying their work. You would SWEAR it was filmed in English! (**)

I didn't see They Call Me Trinity, but this sequel is really unfunny at all. It has many gags that are supposed to make people laugh. I guess the filmmaker just don't have the talent to do it right. Wonder why it was so popular in the 70s.
