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.
