“As my title suggests, I couldnu0026#39;t disagree more with the previous poster. Itu0026#39;s entirely possible that the reviewer confused this picture with the previous Trinity outing, u0026quot;They Call Me Trinityu0026quot;, which does not compare to the sequel whatsoever. With u0026quot;Trinity is Still My Nameu0026quot; they were firing on all four cylinders. This film is the quintessential parody of the spaghetti western, with some of the dirtiest, filthiest ant-heroes ever depicted. When this film was in its original theatrical run in the early 70u0026#39;s, it created a *huge* stir…young and old came unglued equally over the many u0026quot;over-the-topu0026quot; versions of the classic western scene. The slapstick gags were spot on, and Terrence Hill moves from scene to scene with a rogue-ish charm that breathes life into the character of Trinity. Bud Spenceu0026#39;s understated performance rounds out the cast, and his lethargic, deadpan delivery mixes well with Hillu0026#39;s enthusiasm. The two actors teamed in several films, but this would be their best work.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film is highly visual, and Trinity himself is an extremely humorous character with his use of many outlandish contraptions such as the lounge-chair saddle.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe supporting cast also provide a good bit of the humor throughout. Characters such as the family with the u0026quot;windyu0026quot; baby, and the one bad guy who loses his mind after receiving one of Bambinou0026#39;s massive head blows come to mind. Scene after scene parodies many of the classic western clichés, from card games to gunfights, all including the trademark Trinity u0026quot;twistu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film is definitely not academy award material whatsoever, but if youu0026#39;re looking for good slapstick fun with plenty of tongue-in-cheek humor you wonu0026#39;t be disappointed.”
