Rarely do sequels with twice as much material and a bigger budget top their predecessors,but E.B. Clutcher's "Trinity Is STILL My Name" surpasses his surprise hit "They Call Me Trinity." Terence Hill reprises his role as the smelly, unwashed, sharp-shooter who prefers to travel on a travois behind his horse. Returning with Hill is beefy Bud Spencer. The first "Trinity" thumbed its nose at all the western conventions and was hilariously funny. Miraculous, Barboni takes the same two protagonists and sticks them into funnier predicaments with just as much laughter. The scene when Trinity and Bambino dine in the elegant hotel dining room is fabulous.

(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

Clearly rushed out when the first film became a blockbuster. Sometimes the actors drop things and pick them up before continuing the scene. There are some very good scenes, the homecoming dinner for example. The movie tires out before the end and the story is not as interesting. You could do a lot worse.

I saw this film (as I've seen all Bud Spencer / Terence Hill films) synchronized in German, so I cannot really speak for other versions of the film, but as far as the German version goes, this is a really great film. The synchronization is very well done and the lines are very funny. The voices suit the actors very well and the rough tone of the film fits very good into the story and the characters as well. The story is also good and so are the numerous fighting scenes throughout the film. This is one to enjoy. I've been seeing this film every now and then for the past ten years of my life or so and I'm still not tired of it, just like I'm not tired yet of many other Spencer / Hill films, for instance Lo chiamavano Trinità
, to which this film is the sequel. Try this one out in German synchronization, for I cannot guarantee entertainment in any other language.
