What
was supposed to be an ironic movie with a
little bit of humor, quickly became one of
the most comic westerns made in cinema's
history. Discarded by several producers,
the Trinity script was introduced by ENZO
BARBONI (E.B. CLUCHER) to producer
ZINGARELLI, who liked the idea for this
unusual western. At the same time BS and
TH were looking for something differnt
than the "SPAGHETTI WESTERN"
that characterized the sixties. The
imposing physical presence of Bud Spencer
and the amazing comic-ironic ability of
Terence helped the two actors to become
"Trinity and Bambino", two
characters really loved by whichever type
of public and "They call me Trinity"
became a cult-movie that still today
collects enormous success between the
young people (and old) around the world.
Synopsis:
Trinity,
a man so accurate with is six-shooter that
he is called "the right hand of the
devil", trudges slowly into a
Southwestern town where a new sheriff is
installed to enforce the law in this
lawless land. The sheriff happens to be
Trinity's brother. He also happens to be a
deadly shot and handy with his fist. And
he isn't exactly the legitimate sheriff
either. Seems he shot (and thought he
killed) the real sheriff who was enroute
to the town, and decided to pose as the
sheriff and use the place as a hideout
untill the rest of his gang could catch up
with him.
The area is one of conflict between a
group of Mormon farmers who are trying to
establish a settlement there and a gang of
outlaws whose chief wants the land for his
own greedy purposes. The two brothers step
into this fray, and after convincing the
farmers that even Godly men must sometimes
defend themselves, completely rout the
outlaws in a classic and comic brawl. Two
girls in the mormon group fall in love
with Trinity, and he almost decides to
marry them (remember they are Mormons) but
when he learns that he will be expected to
lead a hard-working life, he follows his
brother (and gang who have caught up with
him) to california where further adventure
assuredly awaits them.
